Pros

We're a small but ambitious recruiting firm in Ottawa, Canada, with a mission to make our client companies better at attracting talent. It's new, it's different, and we are very excited about where we are going. If you share that kind of excitement, then this is the place to be!

Cons

We're unconventional and we are constantly changing. If that scares you, or if you are the type of person that doesn't embrace change and constant testing of new ideas, then this place may frustrate you. Also, we aren't entirely "coin-operated", so you have to be driven by a common purpose to help companies - sounds fine, but sometimes we give up short term dollars to do the right thing.

Pros

Good coworkers who cared about the work and one another

Cons

Lots of turnover of employees (either leaving or being let go), no clear guidance from management, and unclear expectations. I see you commenting about taking the comments seriously. It has been a while since I worked there and the situation hasn't seem to have changed. Please take your employees seriously and invest in them.

Pros

The all-remote, digital model offered great work/life flexibility without the uncertainty that comes with the hybrid models adapted elsewhere. A good place to hone your skills as a junior recruiter.

Cons

When I was around, there was very high turnover in both employees and clients, extremely limited onboarding and training framework, strong resilience to new ideas or constructive feedback. And the company's value prop was hard to believe in because the service offering didn't feel ready.
