Pros

Great sales training. Great materials for learning and developing skill set.

Cons

Same president and CEO that started the company 35 years ago. They need to rebrand their logo and website to stay competitive and attractive. Getting attention from prospects is the name of the game. They need to understand people will be stand offish until they do their own research ONLINE and make a decision before even answering the phone or responding to an email. DIGITAL PRESENCE NEEDS TO BE CURRENT, ATTRACTIVE, AND INFORMATIONAL. There is a disconnect between senior leadership and the clients. This is all aside from their actual performance. A smaller firm needs to deliver at higher percentage than its larger competitors. However, their ability to attract better talent stems back to their DIGITAL PRESENCE. Candidates will also do their research on companies trying to recruit them. Only then will a firm be given somewhat of an open ear and open mind to the "talk game"

The Salem Group Response

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate candid communication from employees both current and former. We are proud of the sales training program that you mention, and we are delighted to share that that program is only being further enhanced. We are also pleased to share that we have partnered with an outstanding firm and are in the process of creating a new website that will not only be attractive and informational, but will also be a central access hub for a wealth of candidate and client tools. We elected to take this on after the successful implementation of a new, cutting-edge staffing software system that has also proven valuable for clients and candidates. At the heart of all of our developments - over the past 35 years and for the next 35+ - has been, and will be, our desire to create an easy, valuable, and efficient experience for our client partners and assignment employees. Internally, we take a highly collaborative approach - from executive management to each of our staffing center offices - to ensure that we achieve just that. Again, thank you for your review. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors!
