Maxim Healthcare reviews

Extremely low pay, long hours (work 80/week, get paid for 40), horrible benefits (surprising for a "Healthcare company", micro-management (or lack of management completely), cut-throat work environment, no days off, not even on weekends. Company is currently being sued for not paying employees for overtime, which for a recruiter is 20-40 hours a week of overtime. Do some research, they've been sued for far worse in the past. Nurses and families will hate you. Job breakdown: 10% recruiting, 20% sheduling, 10% payroll, 40% dealing with angry families, patients, and employees, and 20% being treated like garbage by your account manager in front of all of your co-workers. (Don't worry, the rest of your co-workers experience this as well.) The average recruiter sticks with Maxim for 3 months to a year. The office I worked for went through 13 different recruiters in a 5 year span. Do the math. On-call is torture. You'll be on the phone 24/7 being cussed out by angry families and employees. You'll be forced to make difficult decisions without any support from management. You'll get no sleep because you'll be called throughout the night. You'll do this every other weekend, and every other day during the week. Did I mention that you'll be doing this for free. You aren't paid for overtime! If you take this job, I would recommend that you continue to look for new jobs and take the first offer you get! Good luck!

Three Words: On Call Phone. Even when you leave the office after 10-12 hours of work every day, you are responsible to answer and log EVERY phone call that comes through to the office cell phone. Oftentimes these calls require additional work on the part of the recruiter during their evenings and weekends--for no additional compensation whatsoever. You will become completely burned out and your personal life can suffer, believe me. Hours spent in the office aren't much better. The recruiters are the workhorses and are expected to be responsible for every aspect of the office without actually running the office. Recruiters are expected to track down paperwork, handle billing issues, cold call for new business, staff cases immediately, process all paperwork, check and double check paperwork, answer phones on the first ring (and they ring CONSTANTLY), negotiate worker salary, and in your spare time hire new people. Just the hiring process should be its own position, but Maxim lumps this all together on their entry level employees. The stress level is astronomical. The feeling of drowning will come up early and often. Hopefully you will have an internal team willing to help you along, because any guidance from upper management is nonexistent. They do not allow you to leave the office to take a lunch break. You are expected to wolf down your lunch in 5 minutes at your desk while the phone rings. You pick up the phone with a mouth full of food and hope not to choke. Also, at any given moment, anyone can walk into the office and you have to stop your lunch and help them immediately. Great for indigestion. To top this all off, compliance is so strict that you can get in major trouble for simple oversights. Everyone in the office is overworked and the environment at times can be very toxic. You will see your co-workers WAY more than your family, friends, and loved ones. That is a guarantee.
