Pros
You gain experience in a field that never dies out. Recruiting in an RPO and recruiting on the corporate or industrial levels are compatible. You are not micromanaged unless you are seriously messing up, depending on your supervisor. They have great people working there, it is a place where genuinely nice people are abundant, and the few who are not don’t get far (hopefully dear God please) This is a constantly growing company, if you make yourself known, and you make the company money, good things will come your way. They take the top producers every month to Whirlyball or a sports game, or another fun activity. It is easy to meet these goals.
Cons
High turnover (Read: easy to gain seniority on the RPO floor) Not organized Short training Sometimes vindictive managers (never been a victim) Sometimes the hiring process is handled by essentially trainees, but it is an entry level position. This may get better with time. Little to no commission structure Depending on the season, a little too frat boy for my tastes. This may get better with time.
