Pros

Great team/colleagues (I've made a few life-long friends over the course of my 5+ years here) Good recruiting tools are made available to you. More importantly, if you request new tools the leadership team, Directors/VPs/Managers of Delivery, actually listen and try to implement them. At a minimum, the tool will be evaluated against the current list of available tools. The company cares about improving its culture and improving the working situation of the people that work here. Once you prove your capability, you are allowed a high degree of autonomy, the company encourages empowerment and entrepreneurship in their employees. How you're treated is directly proportional to the amount of effort as well as how well you are doing against your goals. For me, this is meritocracy in pure form. There is always some degree of bias and subjectivity involved, but by and large if you put in the work, you are rewarded for that.

Cons

It is still staffing; so there is nothing you can really change about hiring managers/candidates being fickle or lying or changing their mind (or the other thousand ways a req can go South). Again, it is still staffing, so there are ebbs and flows to the amount of time that you need to put into the job (i.e., work-life balance). So yes, work-life balance can be a challenge for those that are not able to create boundaries and set their own limits. The job requires as many hours as you allow it to. Meaning, this is largely based on the individual.

Pros

• Great peers who make the workday enjoyable • Leadership has been investing in change, including a new CEO bringing fresh direction • High performers are given flexibility and trust • Exposure to federal contracting and IT staffing, which builds unique industry knowledge • Opportunity to make strong money if you’re willing to grind Additional Context for Job Seekers A lot of negative reviews you’ll see here are from consultants or project-side employees, and those experiences don’t always reflect what it’s like to be in sales or recruiting. If you’re interviewing for an Associate Account Manager, Account Manager, or Recruiting role, read those reviews with caution. This is sales. It’s hard, it’s metrics-driven, and it’s not for everyone. But if you’re motivated, competitive, and want to learn how staffing works, you can do well here.

Cons

• Like most sales orgs, if you’re not producing you’ll feel the pressure • Constant monitoring of numbers can be draining • Staffing is a tough industry, and AI is making it even tougher. Not every hiring manager values what you bring • Frequent change in direction creates uncertainty at times
