Pros

Kitchen is stocked with food, very good training program if you want a career in recruiting.

Cons

The company is a revolving door. For example they hire a big ERT class every few months because they know not everyone will last or they will be fired. One person in upper management tries using "do this or you'll be fired" type pep talks which is ineffective and hard to take seriously. The company expects X amount of dials in a given period of time because dials lead to submittals which leads to deals. Makes sense, but if you have a day where you have 5 submittals you're expected to still have as many dials as the person who had 0, and you'll be asked why you have less dials. Maybe some need that level of micromanagement but for most I'd look elsewhere.

Thank you for your feedback. While everyone has the right to their own truth, we're not going to get into the details of this review, because the statements it makes are categorically incorrect. I agree with the reviewer in this case - if you want the type of environment as described, you should look elsewhere. If you'd like to learn more about what our environment is actually like, I'd encourage you to talk with our Talent Acquisition team, review our social media, understand who works here and the career paths that they've earned. It is true that we ask recruiters out of training to focus on connecting to many consultants as they are still developing their craft. However any recruiter, senior or junior, who can properly connect 5 quality consultants to one or more client engagements in a day, does not have a problem dialing a phone. We are professional recruiters at Softworld. We are focused on speaking with the best consultants…not the most. I respectfully but vehemently disagree with the person that wrote this - that said, if they would like to share more of their perspective and perhaps clear up any confusion, I encourage you to follow up directly with me. 781-373-8452.

Pros

I don't have any pros. The company made promises when they hired me and my co workers that were not true.

Cons

Work more than 40 hours with no overtime just to make unrealistic goals. It is a terrible place to work.

Hello – I’m sorry to hear you weren't fully satisfied working with us. We do strive to communicate and paint a clear picture of what working at our clients is like and would strongly encourage you discuss any concerns in more detail with your Recruiter or the Consultant Care team.
