Weird Tactics - Search Consultant gpac Employee Review

While there are a few pros to this company I spent a year here and billed 80k in my first year. Not very impressive to their standards because by the end of my year I was almost 10k in the draw. I was recruited to the company by a friend who had done rather well there and was well liked by the management, but when I joined I realized it wasn’t the fact they liked you, it was how much you could make them. I did my job; Made calls, sent emails and even text messages when that became an option through their software. At the end of the day it didn’t matter. Their tactics are slimy and vindictive. You are calling promising talent about jobs that don't exist and giving them hope while turning around to use their background to pick up potential clients that are protected under an NDA clause for gpac themselves. Not to mention you are also posting job postings that don’t exist to try and get these talented professionals to call you in the first place. It’s the same on the flip side you will call a company with a background given to you by “teammates” called ghost candidates (they don’t really exist) and market them to the hiring managers in hopes to sign their companies to us. It’s all very manipulative and while you’re using slight of hand tactics on companies and candidates while your own place of employment is doing the same with you. How is it that 1,500 dollar paychecks get reduced down to 1,000 to 900 dollars(bi-weekly)? Well you’re paying for everything. Your tools, your laptop, your hourly wage when you first start. You basically net zero or negative because gpac doesn’t have the decency to take less cash for themselves. Their crazy incentives and very rich board pocket cash and pay minimums to their people. If you fail in their eyes you just couldn’t hack it but there is no taste of what it could be. They just say “Trust the process fully even if you don’t understand it”. I spent too much time here to know that when you fail their more tenured members get all of your hard work none of which is given to new employees. The company is a bunch of vultures looking to cash in every month based on the work of others and that goes for everybody not just the upper management or coaches but even the senior recruiters as they will get your companies and territory you worked sooner or later. If you hear “Gpac is a family” you are being lied to the secrets of the industry are kept by the high billers. What they do to get their companies or get their candidates is not shared with you and will never be shared with you. Overall just stay away from this place they have no love for anybody but themselves and how to pad their pockets more. And that friend who recommended me here left because they wouldn’t give him a week off to reset even after he’d billed well over 300k.
