Blue Signal reviews

Most managers are primarily out for themselves and don't genuinely support their teams. Many account managers (AMs) operate unethically, often persuading recruiters to prioritize their jobs without disclosing that multiple recruiters are already working on the same role. AMs frequently dump low-quality roles onto recruiters, expecting others to do the hard work for them while they avoid the heavy lifting — all without being transparent about the roles themselves. In reality, if you want access to good roles as a recruiter, it’s more about internal politics than performance — you have to kiss butt and build personal relationships with AMs to even get a shot at decent business. Things are great if you’re billing — you get left alone. However, they make it unnecessarily difficult to bill consistently. The entire system feels like a circus, where AMs handpick who they want to work their roles, regardless of fairness or ability. New recruiters often get locked out of good opportunities and are left to fend for themselves with scraps. If you’re not tied to a team where AMs consistently bring in roles, you’re out of luck. On top of it all, the ATS is a complete mess — outdated, inefficient, and makes every part of the process more frustrating and disorganized than it needs to be.
