office culture is toxic...recruiters come here to end or stall their careers
lack of sense of urgency and "work hard, get rewarded" feel within the Chicago team
account managers playing favorites with recruiters
the midwest market leader cares about more hitting SLA's and impressing people than the developing the people under him,
there is a lack of organization / disconnect from upper management to account managers to recruiters (nobody is skill aligned or location aligned
lack of development for employees (only way to develop yourself is on your own or to hopefully gain something from the terrible presentations put on from other employees on topics they researched an hour before hand)
account managers do not drive new business.....i hope you know how to recruit on large VMS vendor lists because that's a large portion of their accounts
most deals (within the chicago office) are extremely margins and do not allow recruiters to make decent commission (anything over $500)
CORE Recruiters vs Regular Recruiter
- zero candidate ownership,
-working on a different commission structure, which forces their recruiting style to drastically affect the regular recruiters ability to recruit on popular skill sets without having CORE interfering with your candidates your working with...and their manager at headwaters in Milwaukee and the Midwest Market Leader will not help you overcome this
I was at Experis (Chicago Office) for over a year and my biggest issue was the Midwest Market Leader. From his lack of leadership and development to his lack of follow-up and follow through on things is just unbearable to see witness and be affected by first hand. I would highly suggest to stay away from this place unless your planning on ending your career or you simply like to "get by".
