6+ year Lead Recruiter suddenly fired over a 3-minute video call. - Lead Technical Recruiter Adaptive Solutions Group Employee Review

Small company that has "closed door" conversations nearly every day, most of the time talking about fellow employees that are in the office. The office politics and company favorites are obvious, and management doesn't treat everyone the same, especially if your numbers are even slightly below the everchanging goal. The micromanagement on the recruiting side can get out of control even if your numbers are fine, and Account Managers have way more overall flexibility and minimal micromanagement compared to recruiters which (at times) causes a rift between recruiters and AMs. Management tends to change things just because and the benchmarks are a moving target. If you don't do all of the thing's management asks of you then they ramp up the micromanagement to a frustrating point. The recruiter expectations are to juggle multiple goals at once and if you fall short on one then that is the focus, not the ones you exceeded expectations on.
