Kforce reviews

First, they seem to come close to meeting my base and I accepted on principal. However before starting, I was advised that their actual compensation is actually all on commission and the base is actually a non-refundable draw that is applied against 50% of your "base" and all commission are held for the first 6 months; 100% after 1 year. Why not just be up front with that. A bit of a bait and switch hiring practice. Had to do required online training that was voluminous, took 8 days to complete. Placed someone within first week going live and all the team leads we're kvetching about we're how many calls I made and overall "numbers". After less then two weeks live! Online training does not even go over their CRM workflows, you have to ask busy people under their own gun, how to properly record and execute a submission. Training mentor was mostly hands off and addressed me as if I was right out of college rather then Sr. Recruiter. Tried to do everything for me and get it out of the way rather then guide through a cumbersome submission process. The fixation on meeting their overall submission numbers was more important then actually filling their clients needs in a manner that flew in the face of their metrics, i.e. X amount of average submissions ='s placements/revenue. The metrics do not really apply to human capital management so it,s basically a "coverage shop". Good luck meeting your compensation goals if you have to submit the first available candidate, as opposed to seeking the best candidate. Rates are low due to SLA's, so getting someone to take the role or be retained over the duration of the contract is a crap shoot. Be prepared to work with a lot of 3rd parties and a 4 month ownership rule in this crowded field of recruiters, where another recruiter can block your submission or you have to split a low margin.... Walmart Body shop...:-)

-Extremely poor management decisions (all they care about is money and will do everything in their best interest, not their team's) -Lots of bureaucracy -Endless amounts of pointless, unproductive meetings, which are toxic to any corporate environment -Expect to work from 8am-8pm if you want to make money -Any changes that you suggest have to go 32 chains up for approval, and most of the time their responses will be that their "hands are tied" -They do not provide LinkedIn Premium accounts, so it sucks if you want to search for passive candidates -Benefits could be better, but are standard -You'll have about 3 months to prove yourself (seriously) and produce something, otherwise they will cut you like a steak.
