Pros

RHI rewards hardwork, and recognizes people as their best asset. For those who are able to deliver, there are clear career opportunities. Additionally, RHI continues to invest in employee development, and continues to provide new tools to support employees. The company has been in business for 60 years and the leaders in place have led us through economic downturns in the past. Employees are confident in the managment teams ability to lead us during challenging times, and to act with integrity which is something we are proud of. Additionally, RHI has been very communicative with employees about the current situtation/environment which is appreciated.

Cons

RHI has made adjustments over the past year to add benefits, that employees have requested for several years, to the benefits package. However, the one area that is still a work in progress is adjustments to pay rates/salaries. Once you are in the organization and have been in a position for a while, it can be difficult to get your salary aligned with the current market value. In the current market it is understandable that adjustments may not be made, however this is an area that the organization should seriously revisit and address in order to ensure they are able to retain their best staff.

Pros

Room for advancement. The company has a history of promoting from within. In fact, almost all senior executives started as entry-level recruiters and have worked their way up. RHI also is willing to invest in its people. I've had excellent trainings and opportunities for growth during my time there.

Cons

It's a company with very high standards. It's not for people who don't want to give 100 percent. People who aren't willing to work really hard can struggle. Also, the company tends to be conservative and traditional, especially by Bay Area standards. Suits are the typical attire for recruiters, and it may not be for people who are looking for a casual atmosphere.

Pros

Half provides some of the best training and decipline I have seen in the recruitment industry. It is also a place that rewards production and has the resources to help you succeed. They have the best recruitment tools and also undertsnad that the company fails if the people pounding the calls are hampered with IT issues. They prove technologies prior to ever rolling them out to the field.

Cons

Management could take responsibilities for their decision in changing territiories and how that affects production. Especially those that had a proven history of exceeding quota. Not all territories are equal so having the same quote company wide is not fair to certain territories. They could also respect the staff a little more than treating them as if they can be replaced. They would triple growth if they understood tenure of staff is key.
