Options Group reviews

Our leadership is exceptionally strong from the CEO and President on down. This person worked at the Options Group prior to its rebranding which is reflected in its website (www.optionsgroup.com). While the comments are in no way reflective of the firm’s atmosphere at that time, it has become much more than a recruiting firm, with an enhanced critical intelligence function benefiting both recruiter and clients. The people who work at the Options Group - and there are many who have years of experience in the recruiting business as well as at the firm - are talented and well educated. Some even have doctorate degrees in the sciences and quantitative mathematics. All of this makes for a collegial working environment. Regarding cold calls, they are part of recruiting process; if you don’t want to make them, don’t work in recruiting. We also have an in house university for training and development for all employees. Most importantly, our pay structures are competitive with industry standards along with bonus rates.

If the Options Group is overworked and underpaid, why is there low turnover? Your income is determined by the commissions you bring in which is common place among comparable recruiting firms. As for the partners taking in all the money, let’s just say that there are a good number of recruiters in various practices whose commission rates are higher than partners and management.
