Your job title will be recruiter, but you will barely recruit. Be expected to also be a secretary, scheduling coordinator, HR specialist, IT support, payroll, receptionist and account manager. Expect to be putting out fires 40% of the time. Field support leaned on recruiters a lot to do their job.
Training and online modules are disorganized. I learned through winging everything and shadowing coworkers. Technology and ATS is outdated which makes you waste even more time.
There is a serious lack of work-life balance and management does not bother to try to promote it. When you bring up things to improve, they will say “that’s the way it’s always been”, and everyone else just puts their heads down and continues with the status quo. Corporate is unwilling to budge and be more progressive.
There’s also a lack of HR and professionalism in the workplace. You can often hear staff and management openly gossiping and bad-mouthing others. There is no sense of privacy in the pit. Meetings rarely ever end on time, which cuts into your recruiting time. KPIs are unrealistic and overemphasized. Recruiters were constantly overworked and stressed which contributed to a general bad mood and attitude in the office.
This is my opinion from the office I came from, but if you look through all the Glassdoor reviews, you will see the same type of review everywhere else.
