Pros – Good people, strong understanding of RPO, variety of clients, good workplace flexibility - I worked here on the Virtual Recruiting Team, which was part of the RPO division. It provided great flexibility and access to work on numerous Fortune 100 accounts. The management on this specific team (I can't speak for others), was very fair, and I thought they looked out for the best interest of their employees. The pay was less than competitors, but I also felt in exchange, they tried to keep their recruiters busy during lean times where many competitors, just had lay offs.

Cons – Issues integrating different lines of business, a lot of turnover on the Executive level which often resulted in many changes of philosophy

Pros – The interview process and screening is conducted professionally.

Cons – Poor rapport between worksite and home office. Completely disengaged from employee concerns. No electronic time-clock. Late with uniforms.

Advice to Senior Management – Allocate management of employees better. Your client is capable of being dishonest about employee performance. Hiring then firing on a whim and being dishonest to recoup unemployment funds is in no way acceptable behavior for a company entrusted to provide employment.

I worked at Spherion full-time for more than 8 years

Pros – Independent, responsibility, shared resources, training, recognition

Cons – tough to get in, communicating change of direction, Management focused on the bottomline vs. the people that get the bottomline for them .

Advice to Senior Management – continue to get to know your people and who they are vs. what they do .... knowing who they are gets them to do what you hired them to do ...
