SEP is the place to be! - Technical Recruiter Strategic Employment Partners Employee Review

Pros

SEP is the most ideal place to begin your recruiting career. You are not simply a number within hundreds of other recruiters as common with other agencies. The management and leadership here truly invests in you with hands on training and develop you towards success. The team based culture here promotes collaboration and sharing resources for collective gain. You have the environment and the opportunity to eventually lead your own team and earn lucratively. Personally, it was an easy decision to join SEP once I got to meet the people that I would be working with.

Cons

The resource and support is there but you really have to be able to couple the knowledge with hard work and dedication. It is a sales driven occupation so you have to have the grit, resilience and motivation to overcome the short term losses and achieve the big wins. If you are looking for a typical 9-5 fixed income job, look elsewhere.

Pros

None. It is obvious that all positive reviews are wrote by management

Cons

This is a bad org to work for. The base compensation BAD and the commission structure is exceptionally poor (5%-10%) with earnings not starting until the 8th or 9th deal. (THIS IS A HUGE RED FLAG, unheard of in the industry). This means Partners are making 100% of your deals until your ninth placement, and even at the Senior level, they still make 90% of your deal. At the agency I am at now, my commission is above 30% and started immediately. basically only hire entry-level people, enforce extreme micromanagement, including multiple daily meetings with your managers, and exhibit an unclear and wishy-washy growth trajectory. I once billed around $500k with this organization in a year and only took home $75k. When I told this to a well-respected recruiter for recruiters, she said at any other agency, I easily would have cleared $200k take-home. There is Nonexistent Work-Life Balance and Poor HR Policies. SEP offers little to no flexibility, and PTO starts at ZERO. It requires PTO to be accrued very slowly, and management forces employees to justify and explain their personal reasons for taking time off. I have had to tell my managers why EXACTLY I needed a day off, which is illegal to ask for. You must also be prepared to be contacted throughout the day if you do take a day off. Even when I was working there, EVERYONE was plotting their escape. My biggest regret in my professional life was accepting a job here, lost so much money.
