Bad management throughout the company. A large majority of the people in management positions should not be there and do not know how to manage people or run an office. The company is full of good people just not the right people in the right roles. Bad communication. There is little to no communication between levels of management. Bad KPI's/ metrics. Every recruiter in the company is held to the same metrics no matter the industry, office, or realities of the job market. There can be no positions for you to work on and they still expect you to meet the metrics and get placements. They do not recognize that there are factors that go into recruiters success that are completely out of their control. Lack of transparency with recent layoff. They recently had a large layoff and said it was "performance-based" although it is public knowledge that a private equity firm made a significant investment in the company recently and they are cutting costs. It was obvious during my time there that they over hired during the COVID staffing boom. This growth was clearly not sustainable for the company. Be transparent with your employees they deserve that at the minimum.
