Low Pay compared to other Recruiter positions
Terrible work-life balance
No sense of transparency
Upper management does not fully understand each department
24/7 On-Call
This is a good position if you are fresh out of college and need a job ASAP. HOWEVER, if you are interested to become a Recruiter in the tech industry, do not work for Maxim as I have learned that they do not count Healthcare Recruiting as experience.
My tenure at Maxim Healthcare has been tiring, stressful, and not positive. There were a lot of turnover (+10 in 6 months) due to lack of transparency from Upper Management and layoffs. If you do not perform as a Recruiter, then you will be let go without notice and without training. The office I worked in, the Upper Management was not fully aware of what each department entailed. He only understood Homecare, which obviously played favoritism. Upper Management needs to understand and listen to their employees to thrive in a fast paced industry.
Maxim Healthcare also needs to improve on their technology. We were still utilizing Internet Explorer, ATS seemed outdated, no laptops (which means you can NEVER work from home), and lastly the on-call phone was from the 90's. You can barely understand the person that was calling.
Maxim does not care about their employees hence the HIGH turnover and I believe that nothing will ever change. Steer clear and join a company that actually values your input and suggestions without getting fired.
You will not receive a promotion unless someone is fired or leaves. If you are a Recruiter, you can only move to an Account Manager (not much more pay), or a Business Development Manager role (Sales) --- Be weary, if you do not produce, you will be terminated
