Pros

Make good money $$$ Become one of the most technical recruiters in the industry Colleagues are somewhat helpful Commission structure is unbelievably well constructed

Cons

CEO demonstrates sexual misconduct towards his female employees to protect his own interests as CEO. Women, if you TRUST Matt to take care of you as an employee and treat you with respect and dignity, you will be sadly mistaken. Account managers do not share reqs and will only submit their own candidates. Must work from 7am - 8pm or LATER and must work weekends in order to meet Matt's standards. If you DO NOT you will be let go within a few weeks.

Your remark about sexual misconduct is absolutely concerning and egregious. We maintain a very professional relationship with all our current and former female employees. In fact, our HR Director started part-time in the summer of 2008 while still in High School, rejoined the company after college, and for the last six-years has worked her way up to becoming a Director. There is absolutely no discrimination within our company and have an incredibly diverse team from various walks of life. The standard(s) that our CEO holds the company to are actually set on an individual employee basis. At the beginning of each quarter our employees define their own envisioned accomplishments through a process we call "production planning". There is NEVER a moving target, only the target the employee set for themselves. So in theory, working outside of the normal 8-5 isn’t necessary in order to meet our CEO’s standards, it might sometimes be necessary in order to meet the standards and commitment that the individual employee has promised the company and the team they’re part of. The only expectations (and standards) that our CEO has are for his team to deliver upon what they’ve committed and promised, which isn’t an unreasonable expectation for any high performance company. We're serious about building a great culture and company, please feel free to share any additional feedback: verticalmove@verticalmove.com.

Pros

• Technical Training • Plethora of tools provided • You’ll have positions to work on day 1 • Ability to run a full desk and encouraged to build your own brand/business within VerticalMove

Cons

It is an agency environment, you’re given the tools and training, then it’s sink or swim. You either have the skin for agency recruiting culture or you don’t.
