Alexander Technology Group Reviews

The contract was temporary, which I knew. This is a good job placement company, but the job I was placed at hired people to finish a business acquisition. As soon as the merger happened I was shown the door, this does not reflect on Alexander Technology Group - as they told me this was a possibility. The only bad part was, I did not see it coming. I was let go over the weekend and presented with 3 reasons (a thesis statement), as to why I was let go. This is not the recruitment company's fault, but by choosing to do business with such a large entity (The Weather Company, IBM) - it makes it possible. They are very aggressive in their placements and I would recommend to people who are looking, but do not forget to evaluate the company they end up placing you with! Ask Questions!

Most recruiting firms have high attrition. But Bank W and ATG in particular has real trouble holding on to managers, leaders, and top performers. Their generous comp plan is something they remind their staff of frequently, coupled with a heavily preached "We're the best" message that stinks of desperation. Turns out, high % commission plans are only as great as the resources (or lack thereof) available to you. My advice if comparing offers from this and other staffing firms: 15% of a watermelon is more than 25% of a cherry tomato. You'll have a tough time billing much of anything here. No matter the lack of resources, be prepared for management to make it clear that they're the ones doing you a favor. Very command and control management style across the board. Inexperienced partners that are terrified of spending money and investing in their people. Don't get on the sinking ship.
