      Pros

      Blue Signal is the only recruiting agency for which I have ever worked, so naturally, I'm biased. I have to say that if you're looking for a place that gives you the flexibility to manage your own schedule, work fully remote, earn well over six figures routinely and help people in the process, then Blue Signal is the place for you. Having basically no professional recruiting experience prior to Blue Signal, I can say that the training and support they have provided has been top notch. With the help of caring account managers and realistic KPI's, I was able to quickly learn the ropes and have seen early success. As a fully remote company, Blue Signal's non-recruiting departments (People and Culture, Marketing, etc.) have created actual culture, which is quite remarkable. I genuinely enjoy "going" to work (virtual meetings), though I have the unique advantage of being able to work from the Blue Signal office (Phoenix, Arizona). I think most within Blue Signal would agree that we have a tight knit group that is sad when people leave and excited for people to join! Everyone is genuinely happy when others in our firm succeed, which (I hear) isn't exactly par for the course in other recruiting agencies. Our founder/ CEO is a world class recruiter and holds himself and everyone else to a high standard of ethics, honesty and integrity. It is a team-focused recruiting firm that has an ethos of collaboration, helpfulness and care for one another. I have never been made to feel bad for needing to take time to drive my kids to school, attend a doctors appointment or anything like that. It has been a great experience working for Blue Signal thus far. I would encourage anyone looking at getting into recruiting to start with Blue Signal.

      Cons

      Recruiting is a difficult industry anywhere you work. You have to manage your own time, be willing to fail and receive feedback, receive and deliver less-than-ideal news often and much more. This reality does not in any way reflect negatively on Blue Signal, but those looking to get into recruiting should understand the nature of the business, it's challenging! Another potential con for recruiting as a whole is that there really isn't "growth" in the sense that, at the end of the day, you will always be recruiting candidates or managing accounts. Sure, there is team leadership and other titles/ responsibilities that one could take on, but one can never really graduate from the basic to do's of recruiting. Again, this isn't so much a reflection on Blue Signal as a company, but rather, on the recruiting industry itself.

      Thank you so much for your thorough and honest review! We are so pleased that you have experienced early success and that you have a work/life balance that meets the needs of your family. It is important to us that our team members can have autonomy while doing excellent work. Thank you for recognizing and adding to our culture; as you mentioned it is difficult (but imperative) to maintain in a primarily remote workforce. We look forward to a long and successful partnership with you!

      Best Company I've Ever Worked For

      Pros

      Man. Where to begin here. Before I begin just wanted to state I came on board as NON experienced recruiter working totally remote and this is my first remote job. Lets start with expectations and training: Management and HR set expectations up front about what the job entails. There is no sugar coating or beating around the bush on how difficult recruiting can be and challenges I would face. My manager in particular is one of the best. I've only had one other person have my back no matter what before. My current manager will move heaven and earth to make sure I have the resources I need to do my job. He even went as far as to have daily check in's to discuss strategy. Some might have viewed this as micro-managing, but that was not the case at all. It was just having someone help hold me accountable and offer guidance when I needed. There is not one person in the company who wouldn't help anyone else on the team especially in training. Lets talk about process, procedures, and culture- Company culture is incredible and supportive. What I love most about BSS is that I have the flexibility to manage my own desk and work as I please. I am not bound to a strict 8-5 schedule. There are many times I am having to put in an extra hour or two in the evening due to clients I have on the west coast. Its also nice that management understands not everyday is going to be a productive and great day. Some days are great, others are not. I never feel like I'm going to be scolded for having "un productive days" as long as my metrics and billings are on track. Lets talk metrics and pay- The company has a pretty lenient metric policy. They really give you the ball and then you have to run with it. It does take some time to get ramped up, it personally took me 3.5 months, but others have been quicker. I personally receive a draw and then once I'm caught up I earn bonus checks. The commission rate for placements is the most competitive I've seen in a sales job. It does not take long to really start making great money. Over all I can't say enough great things. For someone like me who had zero idea of what the recruiting world is/was like, I'm just thankful it has been with Blue Signal so far. I have a hard time believing any other agency out there being better than this. Matt's vision is unreal and he is the best leader a company could ask for.

      Cons

      Every job has its good and bad, but for BSS there is not much on the bad side. In a perfect world all recruiters could get a standard base salary instead of a draw, but once you get ahead of the draw its gravy. In a way it does stink not being able to pop in the office and see the team regularly. I am an extrovert and feed off that energy of being around people. The last thing I will say, and this really isn't a pro or a con, but who ever comes into this organization needs to have grit, determination, and not accept failure as an option.

      Thank you for your thorough review of Blue Signal! We are so happy to hear that your experience thus far has been a good one. A couple points you noted about metrics and "un-productive" days are very true; while you may view them as lenient metrics, we see as being human. As long as you are consistently doing the behaviors it takes to be successful we will always work with you, and it sounds like that was your experience! "Have grit, determination, and non accept failure as an option." - Such a great (and necessary) mindset to have in recruiting! We are so pleased you are finding success and can't wait to see your continued achievements!
