Maxim Healthcare reviews

The actual work was enjoyable and what I did made a difference

*Positive culture and fun office environment *Consistent support and recognition from office operations & recruitment managers *PTO is 17 days per year + 2 floating holidays *Rewarding industry Overall, I had a good experience working at Maxim HC. I was a Recruiter for almost 2 years and the position WITHOUT A DOUBT has its ups and downs at times. Healthcare staffing is a challenging industry, but the work is rewarding and it's so gratifying to be able to help medically disabled patients and their families. I always had an interest in social work so I loved helping the patients and families we serviced. All the office staff work together "in the pit" which basically means we sit together in an open setting and not in cubicles. Even managers would sit with us at times which was nice to see. I liked this a lot because we could all work together and talk to one another whenever we wanted. It was a team environment and the culture was fun. In my position I primarily hired nurses which isn't easy, so the work was tough at times but when doing well I was always recognized by peers and managers for my hard work. I worked really hard, but some of the other recruiters I worked with did not work as hard so it was frustrating at times. If office staff were not producing results and were slacking, the managers challenged them to work harder which is expected. I saw some negative reviews about the managers and those must have been from the recruiters that were just in there not working hard and trying to coast by and collect a pay check. This is NOT the company for coasting so if thats what you want to do STAY CLEAR OF MAXIM! You need to work hard and if you do your recognized for it. Being there 2 years, I witnessed some turnover in the office but other offices had turnover too. My position was more of an entry-level role, so others would leave if they were not doing well and didn't see promotional opportunities in their future. The office manager and the recruitment manager were very supportive and focused on my development. I was on track to most likely get promoted but an opportunity came up to make more $$$$$ and to work from home so I had to take it. Maxim is always looking for sales-minded employees who work hard and are hungry. You don't see a lot of recruiters at Maxim stay in the same position more than 2 years because if they are good then they'll get promoted and if they aren't good enough to get promoted the recruiter position is tough and demanding so it's tough to stay in that same position for a long time. I couldn't see myself working as a recruiter for a long time so I had to take the opportunity that came up and who doesn't want to make more $? I'd without a doubt recommend Maxim (and especially this office location) to anyone who is motivated to work hard but also likes to have a good time in the office making friends and has a sense of humor. The industry can be tough at times but the office environment made it fun and the work is rewarding. If you want to make 6 figures, Maxim isn't for you but if you want to make decent money and gets some good experience I'd recommend it.
