Mission: To recruit and place the best IT / Tech talent with the best companies.
I worked at Advantage Tech full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
The people are amazing, but I think you can say that at most places. What really stood out to me was their commitment to having a solid reputation of transparent and fair.
Advice to new hires: have a voracious appetite for learning your role and be ready to hit the ground running. Your opportunities will be infinite if you do.
Cons
Very little! I would say the only con I saw would be driving through rush hour. But that’s going to be most places if you aren’t nearby. The management team will really work with you if they know you are committed.
For recruiters and AMs you will likely work before/after and over lunch a decent amount. That’s to be expected in the industry, but if you aren’t able or willing to do that then you will have a hard time. I did talk to other recruiting agencies and wholly believe Advantage Tech is going to be far more reasonable and balanced than many competitors.
Advice to Management
I don’t think I need to give this because you guys have it down pat. But, keep up the great work being committed to your people!
Application
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Advantage Tech in May 2017.
Interview
Pretty standard across the industry but I would say they took the time to really understand what I was looking for. Really focused on the tech stack that I was looking for and didn't try to sell me on anything I wasn't interested in.
