Pros
Good Colleagues but that is it
Cons
Management feels completely disconnected from what’s actually happening on the ground floor. The constant message is just “do more, do more,” without any understanding of the workload recruiters are already carrying. I’d genuinely like to see leadership try to do this job for even a day before pushing unrealistic expectations onto the team. What used to feel like a recruitment firm focused on relationships, both with clients and candidates, has turned into a cold-calling factory where the priority is volume over quality. Recruiters are expected to constantly cold call until people are practically telling us to leave them alone. That’s not real recruitment. Another major issue is the constant rollout of new policies, processes, and expectations with little to no explanation. Changes are introduced with a “just trust us, it works” mentality, but there’s never transparency around results, reasoning, or strategy. There’s no collaboration or effort to get recruiter buy-in, just more pressure from management. The hierarchy within the organization is also extremely discouraging. Recruiters are treated like they’re at the bottom of the barrel, and no matter how much effort or success they bring in, it never feels like it’s enough. Overall, the culture has become exhausting, disconnected, and heavily focused on metrics at the expense of people.
