Pros
Sales training. The Robert Half model is based on activity and connects. You have a real opportunity to connect with amazing people in the respective industry you represent as well as having access to a large database of candidates. All recruiters need to come with relevant work experience to be in the role. This is truly an advantage when you are developing your business, and understanding your candidates technical skill sets.
Cons
Not really downsides per say but this what I would tell someone considering a field sales role with RHI. The environment is structured and management heavy which pushes their employees to keep up activity which is a plus, however, if you don't like to be micro managed then you would be hard pressed to be successful in their culture. Additionally, recruiters are in sales and not every candidate is placeable which is the unfortunate part of the business. Don't be fooled this is not an environment where you have a lot of time to counsel candidates that aren't highly placeable. This is a sales job through and through, which I can't really say is a downside per say, it is just good to know that going into the role.
