Outmoded recruiting philosophy.

Direct hire recruiter

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Wide name recognition in the industry, but not viewed as competent with direct hire recruiting. Hand's off management style allows each recruiter to structure their business as they see fit.

Cons

As soon as I began the Manpower training in Wilwaukee, I knew I'd made a mistake. This was old-school cold call recruiting of the most inhuman kind. No relationship building, just smile and dial.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The training is good. The experience gained is invaluable. I have learnt more in this job than any preciously. Treated fairly with regards to salary. Exposure to global experience and knowledge. This is a great company if you are achieving well.

Cons

A very activities driven environment. Not flexible with regards to recruitment workflow processes and how the day is structured. Very structured environment. Lack of sales initiatives and money spent on client relationship building and team building.
