At Brooksource, we strive to break the stigmas associated with our industry by using a relationship-focused approach to managing our consultants. We have found that by focusing on your needs, we can empower you to thrive. That is why we recognize six paid holidays for our consultants each year. All employees, including consultants, are eligible to participate in our 401K plan after one year of employment - if they have worked over 1,000 hours.

It’s for this reason that we love hearing your experience with Brooksource has been a positive one.

Not What I Expected

Pros

Mostly all of the other AE's and Recruiters are seriously awesome! They are all so supportive and are the reason I stayed so long. I learned so much from my peers and have so much respect for the ones that stuck around and really want to make a change in the company. The problem lies with leadership.

Cons

Brooksource was my first job out of college. Now that I work for a new company, my eyes have been opened to the gaps and problems Brooksource needs to solve before returning to the positive, rapidly growing org it was 10 years ago. The base salary is an industry low (and I mean LOW), there is little to no work from home flexibility, and from a coaching standpoint they are behind the rest of the industry-- which is sad because Brooksource actually has a great service that in theory should be really successful. After I quit (mind you I was here for 2 years) they didn't have the decency to even give me an exit interview and all my MD had to say was "When are you coming to drop off your stuff?" Brooksource sells you on the promise that in 2 years you'll be rolling in money, and then blame you when that doesn't happen. The company has so much potential and it's really sad what it's turned into.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. All leadership positions are hired from within which means that our leadership has personal experience in the positions that they oversee. Usually, this opens the door for thoughtful leadership and mentoring, but the scenario you have described does NOT align with the culture we want to create. We are deeply disappointed to hear that you had such a negative experience at Brooksource. Would you be willing to contact us at success@eightelevengroup.com so that we can learn more, as we are always striving to better ourselves?
