Pros

Company is really hitting the market hard and sells you on their year over year growth. Opportunities greatest for go getters who feel they can make a decent impact within 6-9 months.

Cons

Will not work a lot of requirements if it doesn't stack up to what others are bringing in.

Thank you very much for your candid feedback. We are indeed proud of our year-over-year growth, and I'm gratified to see that you recognize the opportunity for go getters to make an impact. I appreciate your advice to management. Its tricky, because I'm obviously not sure exactly what conversations took place, but for the record, I fully agree with you - $1mm in commission, while certainly possible at Softworld, isn't our norm and I'm genuinely sorry to see that you felt "lured" in if it was presented as such. We should have talked with you about our 50+ person recruiting engine, the fact that we have people working for us in 35 states and the fact that more than half our sales team (including 80+% of people here 2 years or longer, spanning every line of business we have) average Gross Profit run-rates ranging from $500 K - $3 MM. Our company isn't for everybody, and I appreciate you publicly sharing your truth regarding your tenure. If there's any more specific advice or thoughts you'd be willing to share that will help us better understand your experience, I can be reached directly at 781-373-8452. Thank you again for your candor.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback! We’re glad you have enjoyed the benefits of a flexible schedule and are working with a great team. You’re correct that consulting positions can sometimes yield higher turnover, often due to external factors that can affect contract work (budgets, permanent positions, project schedules, etc.). We’re not sure exactly what’s caused any specific turnover that you’ve witnessed on your assignment, so if you want to discuss anything directly and/or have any suggestions for us on how we can improve, please feel free to contact me at 781-833-0275.

Thank you for your feedback! You're right that our industry can sometimes slow down, particularly around the holidays, but after a record year in 2020 and a roaring start to 2021, our future is bright and we're glad that you feel excited to be a part of it. If you have any additional thoughts or suggestions for us as a company, please feel free to reach me directly anytime at 781-373-8452.
