      Hi there - thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback! I'm thrilled to hear you felt supported and checked up on while working with us. As for our benefit offerings, you'll find most contracting firms follow the model of paying a higher rate of pay for time worked on a project rather than provide all the benefits you'd typically find as a full-time employee. However, Softworld does offer a Staff Consulting option for longer assignments that can provide a full benefits package with PTO, paid holidays, multiple healthcare options, 401k and variety of other benefits found in traditional “permanent” positions. We provide multiple employment options so we can better meeting the individual needs of each consultant we partner with. We sincerely apologize if this was not made clear during your interview and onboarding process. We would welcome the chance to review these with you before your next consultant engagement with us. If you have any questions as to why that is or want to talk about your specific situation a bit more, please don't hesitate to reach out to your Recruiting contact or the Consultant Care team. We would love to talk about how to make your experience better.

      Pros

      I was able to work primarily remote. As an Account Manager, it might not be a bad gig

      Cons

      Take this with a grain of salt since their director of recruiting was let go, and that was a major issue up until 2024. I'm sure some of the feedback still applies though In short, it was the worst experience I've had in staffing. Constant negative feedback, unrealistic goals, and dealing with recruiting management that had no experience, or likely success, anywhere else As a recruiter, you were probably given 95% system requirements from DoD employers with 60 other vendors (Black Holes). Their idea of "manager contact" would be if they knew the managers first name, and intake calls had those 60 other vendors on them You would also have to make 30 documented cold calls on old jobs each day, before you could even work on something new. Then they would just pass the job back to someone else after a month and keep going. Having jobs with 500-1000 VM's attached to them were normal. Again, these are system requirements, and not even good system requirements.

      Thank you for your candor. It appears from your review that your tenure occurred years ago, and you're right that there have been personnel, parent company integration, and process changes more recently. Furthermore, some of those changes have reflected pieces of the business prioritization and particularly older job categorizations that you're alluding to. That said, many of the most successful recruiters in the history of the company worked within the same business structure, customer base, and opportunities that you refer to. Dozens of recruiters have built combinations of 10-plus year careers, leadership achievements, multi-million dollar GP portfolios and ground-up growth paths under the same model. Those numerous success stories respectfully would have been impossible under a primary staffing model that you describe. Our model has never been perfect, and we've always operated in a "what's best for the business isn't always easiest for recruiting" mindset. That has yielded some frustrating assignments, particularly for senior recruiters accustomed to other environments that may have featured less individual accountability. While some of the job order assignments and tasks you're describing doubtlessly occurred, our years-long double digit growth and individual success stories paint quite a different picture for many people. Our model (both then and now) wasn't for everybody, and we wish you best success in wherever your professional travels have taken you since your time with us. If you have anything more to add, including anymore specifics you think would have improved the business, I can be reached anytime at 781-373-8452. Thank you again for your review.
