Ajilon Reviews

Pros

The pay rate for contractors is more than other employment firms in the area. The recruiters are nice but not very proactive towards contractors. I liked the work that was offered, really did have work/life balance. Overall compared to other employment firms, Ajilon does stand higher in this area.

Cons

Only real complaint is benefits. HR will need to redo to make it competitve. With so many people job hunting, recruiters would benefit from developing their contractors. Offering training opportunites without really making it available to employees does not help anyone.

Advice to Senior Management

Check with other companies in the same industry to ensure offerrings are really meeting the market value

Pros

Work life balance, the ability to leverage Adecco resources when the stars aligned properly, and some of the structure of being part of a company the size of Adecco

Cons

The utter lack of professional management, performance and review metrics, or understanding of the managed review space in the e-discovery environment.

Advice to Senior Management

A professional middle management team that empowers employees and supports them in implementing the larger (Adecco) corporate vision was something which Ajilon severely lacked.

Pros

great training and company is going in a more satifying direction after merger

Cons

stuck in place - little advancement opportunities. don't always promote for the right reasons.

Pros

They really do help you find a job. First week I had 3 different positions to interview for.

Cons

Sometimes you must ask for certain information for a certain position.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep up the good work.

Pros

You are given a handful of accounts in addition to your territory.
It's a professional environment so, if your wardrobe is filled with suits and tie you will be fine in this environment.
You are given marketing materials at your disposal.
The training offsite is truly intense and very very informative! The company pays for that 1 week trip.
Exepnse reports are paid consistently.
Direct deposit and benefits are good.
Technologically savvy.
You get to run your own business.
Protected territory.
The actual job itself is fun.
Lots of happy hours and most the company will pay for.
Works smarter instead harder.

Cons

You have to be politically savvy to survive most offices.
High turn-over with most positions but, mostly Executive Recruiters.
Management is very lenient and tolerates high producers with whatever they want to do hence the high turn over due to the dire need of one's politically savvy skills.

Advice to Senior Management

Unfortunately, when it comes to politics there won't be too much resolution that Management can come up with. Take a closer look at each office and really see how it works for the offices that have a high turn over.

Pros

I was contacted by Ajilon after being laid off from my job in 2009 about registering with them for temporary work. I called in every week to let them know that I was available. After 6 months I was presented with the opportunity with an assignment that lasted for 6 months.

      They did pay on time and on a weekly basis.

Cons

It is very hard to get in touch with your representative by phone or email. Or they just do not respond to you at all.

     And after my assignment ended, I have a new representative and I had the opportunity to meet her. After that no further communications or any response back by phone or email.

Advice to Senior Management

What is needed to touch base with the people who sent on an assignment and to let them know how things are going on the assignment and afterwards.
