"Great team to work with!"
StarStarStarStarStarRecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOPros
Julia Povolny is very pleasant to work with. She's very enthusiastic about matching candidates with employers and really listens to your needs. Some recruiters focus on placement alone, and in the process push candidates towards roles that they may not be 100% comfortable with. Julia goes the extra mile to ensure that her clients are happy - both candidates and employers.
Cons
Nothing specific to note. My experience so far has been good

"Highly recommend Rachel Gutson"
StarStarStarStarStarRecommendsPositive OutlookI worked at Russell Tobin full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
Rachel Gutson at Russell Tobin was instrumental in advising me to hire for my LA team. I have run my business for over 20 years and repeatedly encounter the same challenges in finding quality talent. After consulting with Rachel on the current talent landscape and the best ways to 'woo' top talent, I was able to fill my open requisition within two weeks. Thank you for your succinct and impactful guidance.
Cons
I have no cons, happy with my results

Pros
I've really enjoyed the people I've spent time with here at Russell Tobin. Dale DeSteno is very supportive and an effective work coordinator. Everyone here is friendly and pleasant, and the technology being used is modern and easy to pick up and run with.
Cons
An open office floor plan has its ups and downs.

"Puffery and narcissism runs rampant here"

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Russell Tobin full-time
Pros
Some nice honest people work there.
Cons
‘Puffery’ is a term used to describe wildly exaggerated or vague claims about a product or service that no one could possibly treat seriously.
The symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder include: grandiose sense of importance, preoccupation with unlimited success, belief that one is special and unique, exploitative of others, lacks empathy, is arrogant, and is jealous of others. These symptoms cause significant distress in a person's life.
Puffery and narcissism run rampant here!
The leaders at this company love to promote how great it is to work for them (ie. #WhyRTA social media campaign), The hashtags they should be using #shameless #selfpromotion. The reality is they are a BOY'S Club and Mr. Leo Russell is narcissist and not a good guy. He is a greedy man who lies and bullies people. He consistently changes peoples's commission packages for the worse to pay for his over-the-top lavish lifestyle.
Mr. Russell speaks to people in a condescending manner because he thinks he's a level above them. He also "conveniently" forgets the truth when it serves him and uses his in-house attorney to threaten and intimidate people.
Again, not a good guy.
Also their pattern is to have lots of people write bogus "positive" reviews here right after someone writes an honest negative reviews so the negative a review gets pushed to the bottom and not read easily. You'll see with this review.Advice to Management
No one is buying what you're selling. Treat people the way you would like be treated.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Russell Tobin full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
They have a very nice office space
Cons
Numerous; they lead by FEAR. Leo Russell acts like a tyrant who sends out weekly emails to the company threatening to fire employees for sneezing in his direction. Everyone is afraid to look at yet alone talk to him. They conduct shady practices (sharing licenses so they do not pay for multiple users) and promise employees the use of Recruiting tools (LinkedIn Recruiter) and then make the employee pay for them out of commissions. You will need a MBA to stay on top of and correct internal Accounting mistakes made. This is not a place to go for the long term as they are loyal to NO ONE.
Advice to Management
FEAR is not a way to manage a company.
