Management Recruiters Reviews

Pros

You really learn the recruiting business in all facets.

Cons

There are some industries they don't recruit in, but that's typical of most firms.

Advice to Senior Management

Diversify by at least having one recruiter who looks to build opportunities in another industry.

when candidates dont say yes! high stress, but nothing that cannot be tolerated. I LOVE it here!

Advice to Senior Management

keep the good stuff coming! Love it here!

Pros

A business owner handles the everyday workings of owning the business. You do the recruiting and pay them at least 50% of your incoming billings for the privlege of working there. They do have great training, motivational trips, and opportunities to interact with other recruiters.

Cons

No long-term opportunities for advancement, when you gain experience and no longer need access to the training/support benefits the value of trading your incoming dollars for the support goes down.

Advice to Senior Management

Find value for the experienced recruiters in your group or you will lose them to a decision to goe out on their own.

Pros

Solid training with desk specific assistance. Large company resources. Advanced reporting and analytics. Great vacations for top performers. Reputable alliances (i.e. postings, database, etc.)

Cons

Franchise office connectivity. Web site. Resources available from a company of this size aren't on par with what you might expect.

Advice to Senior Management

Do a better job of communicating with account executives. Assist franchises with issues they are facing. Don't approach each offce with a canned answer.
