Pros

Ability to work from home. Fun outings for local employees in Phoenix.

Cons

They pay a "salary" but it's smoke and mirrors. You have to earn your salary back in commission before you make commission on top of it. Otherwise, you stay at the base of $40K. Managers play favorites and hand out better jobs to who they perceive to be stronger recruiters. No support of work-life balance - they encourage the opposite.

Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with Blue Signal. We are happy to know our culture initiatives make this a fun place to work! As for salary and commission structure, there are other options that can be worked out with a recruiter’s manager. The current format we utilize is most popular due to higher commission percentages and quicker pay times. Most companies require a quota is met (a.k.a., cover your cost for the year) prior to paying commissions. Although we also have that option, we prefer to pay out sooner and only ask that cost get covered YTD prior to payout. This structure is heavily demanded in the 360-recruiting world. We do cover this concept in the interview process and again extensively during onboarding to encourage anyone with questions regarding salary to reach out. Account Managers do like to reward the recruiters who fill their jobs with repeat business. We try to make it a goal for everyone to bring in business as well as recruit. Job distribution/bandwidth continuous improvement is ongoing, thank you for sharing. Even with the unlimited PTO, fully remote options, flexible work schedules, continuous training, open availability from CEO down, and only 2 mandatory meetings per week, we agree that 360 degree agency recruiting is a demanding job and can be taxing. We strive to offer as many resources and flexibility as possible while also trying to stay in business but do agree at times it is not everyone. We appreciate your feedback. We wish you the best in your new opportunity!

Pros

Fun and engaging atmosphere! The CEO (who is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet) and upper management is very nice and the metrics are pretty achievable if you have enough roles to fill. Unlimited PTO was super nice even though you stay so busy I couldn't in good conscious take it. I was working 10-12 hour days and weekends. Not great work life balance. Fully remote which was really nice!! The training was also really great and lunch and learns every Wednesday. Overall its a wonderful place to work if you are one of two types, young and single and willing to work your nuts off for 18 months to get ramped up or an established recruiter who also has their own accounts to run.

Cons

The starting salary is 40k and its a draw. The jobs to fill really aren't well distributed and it can be very challenging to actually get a commission check. Especially when roles are taking 2-3 months to fill. HR said there were other compensation options but when I asked my manager about it they weren't offered. 40k for an adult with a family is ridiculous. Not applicable to me, but there is also only 2 weeks of maternity leave unless you take FMLA and no benefits besides health, 401k, and the pto.

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us. You are right that it does take a lot of hard work and dedication to be a successful recruiter! Blue Signal believes in transparency and throughout the interview and training process with new recruiters, the time and commitment expectations are fully addressed, on multiple occasions. Our CEO also speaks to the expectations during every weekly company meeting. Additionally, the options to change compensation structure do exist! Please touch base with the HR team directly if you are wanting to make a change and we can discuss further. Currently, Blue Signal is not a large enough organization to qualify for FMLA. The company has developed policies surrounding time off. If you are in need of any time off beyond typical PTO, please contact HR regarding your options.
