Russell Tobin Reviews

Pros

Charles and Jess are a fantastic team. The best recruiters I've worked with! They both have a tremendous amount of expertise and knowledge in the field, and stayed in constant communication with me throughout the hiring process. Taking into account my skill set and salary requirements, they were able to find a position for me which exceeded my expectations. I would love to work with them again in the future!

Pros

The culture was actually great during my tenure with Russell Tobin. I recently left about 2 months ago but I had such a great time with the company the year and half I was there. People get fired for being lazy and given chance after chance and come on here to complain that it's the company's fault when in reality it was them. Sure not everything is perfect, but if you try, you're going to love it there.

- Great Happy Hours
- Fun young culture
- Great outside of work activities

Advice to Management

Just ask the employees what they want and grow & build around them.

Pros

The recruiter I worked with was very kind and professional. She was with me every step of the way, and before each interview, helped me prep with questions they were likely to ask, as well as giving me honest feedback on where I can improve.

More recruiters should be like this!

Pros

Some nice people worked there until they get taken advantage of and leave. The ones that don't leave are too afraid and don't have the self-confidence and thus, reluctantly, stay and drink the Kool Aid.

Advice to Management

Treat people the way you want to be treated. Tell the truth. Don't keep changing people's commission packages. Once they leave because they don't want to continue being taken advantage of, don't sue them and try to intimidate them because you have in-house counsel. That is predatory and extremely unethical. We understand you want to make a lot of money, but when there are human beings involved, please be empathetic. Try to put yourself in the someone else's "shoes" who might not be as privileged as you.

Pros

None - this company is a disaster and not a professional service firm by any means

Advice to Management

Fire your entire staff including the CEO and start fresh
Stop letting managers fire people on the floor IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE STAFF
Kick rocks...

Pros

Hard working, transparent, reliable and extremely helpful - just a few words I would use when talking about Charles Trent. My recent job search was a tough one, but Charles made the entire process easy. He always made sure I was in the loop on next steps and proactively followed up with me just to make sure I was feeling happy with the progress being made. I wish I could work with him for every single job hunt.

Pros

There are some great people and will continue to stay friends with that I met while I worked here. All the good people need to get out!

Advice to Management

Ask the CEO, Leo Russell to step down and hire a CEO. There’s great potential and people-just need a leader who values and appreciates the staffing arm of the business (which can open doors for the rest of the business).

Pros

Jess Forman and Charles Trent were great to work with. They made the job search process so painless and smooth and were incredibly responsive and on top of things. I can't believe I got a new job within a week and I couldn't have done it without them going above and beyond for me.

Pros

What an AMAZING team to work with! I came with very little recruiting/business development experience, but everyone helped me in the best way possible to set me up for success, not only within the team but within the company as a whole. Though the majority of the legal recruitment team sits in Charleston and I sat in NYC, everyone made me feel welcome and 100% part of the team.

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you're doing!

Pros

Cool clients, Nice office, Happy hours
