      Pros

      - Uncapped earning/commission potential - Endless roles/clients to work with - Ability to learn from some of the best recruiting minds in the industry on both the recruiting & sales side - Ability to work with one of the top Recruiting Directors in the industry. She knows exactly how to turn your weaknesses into strengths and gives you the right coaching to make money and succeed in this industry as she has already done it herself as a recruiter previously. She will fight for your opinions and candidates and go to bat for you. She will also find ways to utilize your talents in areas that you might not have explored yourself otherwise, which opens you up to more ways to make money. - Your opinions are heard and addressed - You will not be thrown into the fire - you will have a constant support system to answer questions and offer help/coaching. - The Softworld Accountability is something that will make you more money and better at your job. - If you're a SERIOUS recruiter who wants to work hard, make money, and have a fun work environment - this is the place to be.

      Cons

      - Commission structures can shift - Presidents Club goals not defined

      Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts - glad to hear that you've had such a positive experience, and thank you for all you've accomplished over these years. You're of course right that we've had some commission adjustments this past year, but they've hopefully been articulated as changes that better reflect the specific types of business to yield accelerated payouts. Our base commission plans, and the myriad opportunities for additional incentives over and above those levels, have remained consistent. I do absolutely agree regarding Presidents Club definitions; the business conditions of this past year have made all things President's Club too uncertain, for too long into 2024. Better/earlier clarity on Presidents Club qualifiers is definitely a goal for 2025! If you have anything additional that you'd like to share I can be reached anytime at 781-373-8452. Thanks again.

      Pros

      I was able to work primarily remote. As an Account Manager, it might not be a bad gig

      Cons

      Take this with a grain of salt since their director of recruiting was let go, and that was a major issue up until 2024. I'm sure some of the feedback still applies though In short, it was the worst experience I've had in staffing. Constant negative feedback, unrealistic goals, and dealing with recruiting management that had no experience, or likely success, anywhere else As a recruiter, you were probably given 95% system requirements from DoD employers with 60 other vendors (Black Holes). Their idea of "manager contact" would be if they knew the managers first name, and intake calls had those 60 other vendors on them You would also have to make 30 documented cold calls on old jobs each day, before you could even work on something new. Then they would just pass the job back to someone else after a month and keep going. Having jobs with 500-1000 VM's attached to them were normal. Again, these are system requirements, and not even good system requirements.

      Thank you for your candor. It appears from your review that your tenure occurred years ago, and you're right that there have been personnel, parent company integration, and process changes more recently. Furthermore, some of those changes have reflected pieces of the business prioritization and particularly older job categorizations that you're alluding to. That said, many of the most successful recruiters in the history of the company worked within the same business structure, customer base, and opportunities that you refer to. Dozens of recruiters have built combinations of 10-plus year careers, leadership achievements, multi-million dollar GP portfolios and ground-up growth paths under the same model. Those numerous success stories respectfully would have been impossible under a primary staffing model that you describe. Our model has never been perfect, and we've always operated in a "what's best for the business isn't always easiest for recruiting" mindset. That has yielded some frustrating assignments, particularly for senior recruiters accustomed to other environments that may have featured less individual accountability. While some of the job order assignments and tasks you're describing doubtlessly occurred, our years-long double digit growth and individual success stories paint quite a different picture for many people. Our model (both then and now) wasn't for everybody, and we wish you best success in wherever your professional travels have taken you since your time with us. If you have anything more to add, including anymore specifics you think would have improved the business, I can be reached anytime at 781-373-8452. Thank you again for your review.
