Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, we are disappointed to hear that it was a negative one. Culture is everything here at Brooksource, which is why we strive to create a welcoming environment where all our employees feel empowered to be the best. This includes the creation of our employee-led connection groups, joined together based on common backgrounds, identities, or interests to provide a safe space for conversation and development. We also have quarterly DEI Workshops led by our Director of Diversity & Alumni Engagement, to educate our employees about the different organizations and initiatives we are working with to further our development in the areas of DEI. As of 2020, we are proud to announce that our consultants have a diversity of 52.6% along gender lines and 52.7% racial diversity. One’s work is never done when it comes to DEI but to say we have a culture that does not welcome all, regardless of background, would not be accurate.

Pros

Brooksource was my first job out of college and at first it seemed like I got my dream job at first. They truly do invest a lot of training and "perks" into working there. The management is fun and has lots of one on ones with you and everyone in the office is so willing to help. There are insane promotion parties, great training/learning opportunity, and the office culture is chaotic but fun.

Cons

The starting salary of a recruiter at brooksource is too low to live on. It takes about 3-6 months before you can start making commissions but even if you close deals at a rapid rate it isnt a lot of money until you build up a decent list of contractors which takes 6 months to a year. I ended up leaving because i couldnt afford to live on the change they give you. You will survive if you can get help from your parents the entire first year you work here before any real money comes along.

Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience. Culture is everything here at Brooksource, which is why we strive to create a welcoming environment where our employees feel empowered to be the best. We love hearing that you are happy and are glad to have you in the family! It is worth noting that we structure our pay based on a commission supported scale with no caps or limits on the total amount our employees can make. Plus, we promote all our leadership positions from within, which means that starting salary is just the beginning of all the opportunities that a career with Brooksource can provide!
