Pros
I had a wonderful time at The Execu|Search Group and can only recommend this company. Everyone here is very motivated and supportive! The culture is great and I felt so fortunate to be part of such a great team and office. It is a fast paced environment but everyone works hard but has fun. I am sad to leave but can't express enough how supportive they have been with my decision.
Cons
None that I've noted in my time here

"Staffing manager"
I worked at The Execu|Search Group
Pros
Created great relationships with coworkers and clients. Learned a lot about healthcare and recruitment because I asked questions and wanted to advance in my career. Good after work events to keep you sane.
Cons
Toxic environment between recruiters and account managers/execs. Basically if you’ve been with the company for over five years, you can speak to recruiters in a condescending way and partners allow it because they make the place money. It’s frowned upon to use vacation/sick days even though you’re allotted a specific amount. You’re questioned when you call out sick and expected to answer emails 24/7 and “put the time in” because it’ll make you more money. Certain people are allowed to work from home while others are forbidden.

I appreciate you taking the time to write your review. Our policies are put in place to keep the firm fair, yet we do believe in flexibility, as evidenced by our liberal Summer Friday’s, work- from-home, etc. However, the recruiting industry is sales driven and often to find success that you want, you must put in long hours in the beginning stages of your career. We take reviews and comments from staff very seriously and absolutely do not condone condescending or unprofessional behavior. Edward Fleischman, CEO, The Execu|Search Group

Disapproves of CEOI worked at The Execu|Search Group
Pros
Nothing unless you’re a white middle aged man
Cons
Micro management across the board. Antiquated systems and processes. Executive team is terribly outdated and most have been here for most of their careers. Benefits are terrible. No 401k for full time employees. Most of what they do is level staffing.

It’s unfortunate to hear about your experience with our firm as it is our top priority to make all staff feel that they can succeed at the firm as many of our leaders have grown their careers, starting as recent college grads and growing throughout the years to become very successful. We are always updating and expanding our technologies and processes, as evidenced in December of last year when we launched Bullhorn, a state-of-the art Applicant Tracking System that has taken our business to the next level. We wish you success in the future. Edward Fleischman, CEO, The Execu|Search Group

Pros
Summer Fridays, beer fridge, occasional perks at work
Cons
The toxic culture at Execu-Search reflects the "churn and burn" atmosphere of the organization. On the job training was destructive rather than constructive. Put your best foot forward by listening and putting into action instructions and guidance from your superiors to and you are still routinely chewed out. Micromanagement was severe. I couldn't get through speaking one sentence on the phone without my manager jumping in and telling me what I was doing wrong. Candidates we recruited were treated as commodities rather than humans. You're instructed to be cold and aggressive in your candidate interactions so the firm can maximize its gross profit billed for each candidate hired. Even when you succeed, their commission model does not afford you much extra income beyond an industry low base salary. When I interviewed for my next job and showed the hiring manager my commission statement he responded ," I understand why you're looking to get out." I can't count how many times I was told, "you must hate making money," repeatedly after grinding on the job day after day. Work life balance was poor and they encouraged working into the night and on weekends to become "successful." Given this attitude, Execu-Search's primary issue was they could not implement a sustainable business model that would encourage many internal and external employees to stay on board.

We are disappointed to learn of your unpleasant experiences at our firm. For over 30 years, culture has been of paramount importance to us, and we constantly look to improve as the work place undergoes changes. We have implemented many trainings and policies to promote a culture that builds our staff up, as well as events outside of each of our offices. We have senior leadership training programs to ensure managers are able to aid their teams so that staff can meet their full potential. During our initial training programs, our Senior Director of Leadership & Development puts a great emphasis on “soft skills”.. Our commission plans are competitive and above market, which allow our staff the possibility to do extremely well financially. I wish you good luck in your career.

RecommendsNo opinion of CEOI worked at The Execu|Search Group full-time for less than a year
Pros
Good agents who line you up with organizations and companies that suit your resume and/or career path
Cons
It took a while to find employment, but got there in the end! The only real complaint I have is their healthcare plan was extortionate. I'd be paying 2/3 of my salary for very basic and VERY expensive healthcare packages with huge copays and out of pocket expenses. It makes no sense because you'd be homeless as you wouldn't be able to make your rent!
