Chaotic work environment, you are expected to make 35-40 calls a day while conducting 3-4 interviews and handling constant interruptions. Most people don’t answer your calls and those who do have bad longevity or will be unsuitable in the eyes of PeopleShare. Your branch manager will sit in the office and play on their phone all day while you are stressed out trying to set interviews. Half the time, your manager won’t even send the candidate profile to the client, and then will turn around and ask why you have so few candidates starting on assignment.
When a fellow recruiter was off work, I had to absorb their workload with little to no direction or the available information needed to send to candidates, the branch manager did NOTHING to step in and help. Mistakes aren’t coached, they are opportunities for your manager to doubt your abilities. Asking for help leads to exasperated sighs and ‘you should know this already’ statements, often told to figure it out on my own instead of an answer. Favoritism ran rampant at my branch, my coworkers received light-hearted feedback but mine was always stern and often negative. My branch manager also introduced political sentiment into the work place and loved to project their personal views to employees. Real professional.
This company is unappreciative of the hard work recruiters do, and if you aren’t getting candidates to start assignments every week after the first month they will constantly doubt your abilities and look for signs to get rid of you. This was by far the worst, most chaotic and unsupportive experience of my professional career.
