Pros

The growth opportunity is fantastic. I'm less than a year in and my earnings have gone up nearly 75%. As a recruiter you also stay knowledgeable in technology trends and skill sets, and really get to learn more about organizations that are developing software and solutions that help people. Everyone is very easy to get along with and management rewards the team with off days, sports events, and happy hours.

Cons

In the beginning, it takes some time to learn the new tools and skill sets companies are looking for. When I first started, I didn't have any clue what a Front End developer was. This takes at least 13 weeks to get a decent grasp of. Additionally the 'people' industry can be unpredictable and quit or drop out of an interview process when you least expect it. You need to be able to take a punch and battle back in this industry.

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
