Pros

They are not too competitive on base pay but they work very hard to have a great company culture, morale, benefits and competitions to keep you hungry! They always strive to stay current with recruiting programs. Most senior management is very open and helpful. The CEO and president specifically work hard to speak with everyone.

Cons

Pay increase and commission is often not as competitive. In some markets there is no incentive for recruiters to pipeline new candidates or help with new potential business which leaves BDMs doing a lot of recruiting and vetting for potential clients all by themselves. Similar companies work harder and spend to get retain. We clients.

Thanks so much for this feedback! Our team has recently restructured and made changes to our commission program in order to better align incentives with the behaviors that help our people match incredible creative talent with new jobs. New Hires will find our total rewards package to be the most competitive we've offered since inception. We are always seeking to iterate and improve on the things that help make it easy to #LoveWhereYouWork. It's feedback like this that helps make us stronger- thank you!

Strong entrepreneurial mindset with real ownership and autonomy. Leadership encourages initiative, creative problem-solving, and building new ideas from the ground up. Great environment for self-starters who want to make an impact.

Must be quick on your feet! Priorities may shift quickly, requiring comfort with ambiguity and rapid change.
