Hireology Reviews

Pros

I have never worked at a company before this one that really honors, interrogates, explains, exemplifies, and lives their core values like this company does. Not only does every employee know them, but we know they are valued from the top, and we act in ways that uphold those values. It's actually pretty cool. As far as my job goes, the pros are that the engineering team is thoughtfully organized with process kept...

Cons

We work on Chicago time. I wasn't sure how that was going to go, but it has actually gone pretty well. But it's definitely something one should know coming into the job. Benefits didn't start until after 30 days of employment. That kind of sucked. The sales department style (numbers, encouraging words, celebratory graphs) is prevalent during the company-wide meetings, and while that isn't necessarily a common engineering...

Advice to Management

Honestly, I'm pretty impressed with the management here. I suppose I'd hope that they'd stay true to their commitments to stay true to the core values and to work real hard to ensure things stay cool as we get bigger. Because we're getting bigger. Also, remote/virtual work is totally something to keep in mind as we get bigger, but it's just something to plan for rather than to see as a barrier. So far, management...

Pros

- Office views - Weekly company meetings - Some really nice, smart and caring people work there

Cons

- “Own the result” is a company value but very rarely do you find the right people owning process, communication or strategy - It’s a young company, so there is quite a bit of juvenile behavior on the floor for everyone to experience whether you want to or not (loud music being played at all hours despite people on the phone with customers, people vaping at their desks and drinking in large groups at 2 or 3pm any day...

Advice to Management

Recognize the assets you have based on their hard work and eagerness to innovate. If you put even a fraction of the energy behind supporting your CSMs as you do your sales reps, you can reduce churn and have a shot of hitting your financial goals. Train your sales people to understand what they’re selling and stop rewarding the awful ones with better books. Appreciate your biz ops team -they are overworked and overlooked...

Pros

No micro-management, very flexible work hours, competitive comp plans

Cons

Mediocre base-salary, training when I started was awesome but since the company has grown exponentially the training has gone downhill

Advice to Management

Would be beneficial to hire a sales trainer.

Pros

Have you ever been part of a group or team that challenges you to be the best version of yourself? That's what Hireology has been for me, a lot of professional and personal growth by being part of an ambitious team that is solving interesting problems at warp-speed. I learned more here in one year than I learned in 4 years of college and they encourage that learning and growth by giving you the space to try something...

Cons

I love the coffee and cold brew, but could we get some iced tea? ;)

Pros

I have been working at Hireology for close to 4 years now, and this is the second 5 star review I will be leaving. I have been promoted 6 times since my start, which is a true testament to how much opportunity this company offers to their individuals. Hireology truly cares about their employees on a granular level, which is tough to come by now a days. Leadership is not only incredibly transparent in all aspects of the...

Cons

Can't think of any

Advice to Management

We are currently in a high growth stage (as expected) which has a lot of the managers stretched thin. My advice to management would be to delegate tasks (if possible) to their individual team members to allow managers more floor time as well as offer more experience to those who may want it.

Pros

Culture Room to improve (move up in roles) Transparency in the company on all aspects Core values implemented in every area Excellent leadership in management Snacks Birthday cake every month for employees’ birthdays Core value shoutouts Team huddles - the entire company meets on Tuesdays

Cons

Hot coffee is a little weak but that’s the one and only complaint I have ever had. Everything else about this company is spectacular.

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you’re doing. Love the ability to easily connect with any form of management.

Pros

Hireology provides the culture and energy of a fast growing start-up, with the stability and security that comes with being backed by large private equity firms. Upper management, starting with the CEO, is transparent in their vision and effective in their execution. The people who work here are hard working and truly abide by the company's 5 core values. Objective criteria for promotions ensures that everyone has the...

Cons

The Auto industry, where the majority of Hireology's revenue comes from, is a very unique and sometimes stubborn industry to work with. While there's definitely money to be made there, its not an industry everyone will enjoy working in.

Advice to Management

Keep up the great work

Pros

A great culture built on transparency and accountability. Adam is a CEO who leads by example and is one of the hardest workers at the company. The leadership team he built is top notch and has taken the company from a small startup to one of the fastest growing and best companies to work for in Chicago. Most companies brag about having a great culture but Hireology actually lives up to it. The people are great and make...

Cons

Nothing outside of the normal growing pains any company experiences.
