Pros
- Continuous learning and training (could be good or bad - there is A LOT of change) - You're able to see the success of the top billers and most of them are approachable and will be nice enough to help you and give you advice - Most of the people that work here are young, down-to-earth, and have great personalities. - Flexible time off (because you work for free) and freedom to pick your schedule depending on your manager - They do their best to make the work environment fun. Team building events such as elaborate luncheons, holiday events, parties, free pizza on rainy days, and free ice cream and in-n-out in the summer, etc. - If you have zero experience recruiting, or you just graduated, they will take the time to train you. - The technology here is advanced and does the job for you. There's a ton of bad recruiters here that rely on this.
Cons
I was there for two years and as great as the company could be, the pros didn't outweigh the cons. - Cybercoders has a bad reputation in the recruiting industry. Many companies don't take Cybercoders seriously because they have been spammed so many times by inexperienced recruiters and have acknowledged unethical recruiting practices like sending resumes without candidate's knowledge or lying about a candidate they have, but really it's just bait to get them to respond. - This is a sales job, not a recruiting job. Most of your time will be spent getting new leads because it's extremely transactional there. You will spend maybe 10% of your time doing recruiting. If you're a legit recruiter who cares about building long-term relationships, it'll be hard to survive here...you need to close anything you can as fast as you can because you work on a draw, which means you work for free. - It's competitive, highly stressful, and if you don't close a deal within 3-6 months of being there, you will probably get let go. - Working on a draw reallllly sucks. You can close deals and do everything right, but if anything happens beyond your control that delays your client from paying the fee, you're at their mercy and won't see your commission until they pay. All the while you're draw is still accumulating. By the time you catch up on your draw, this situation can put you right back into the negative. Anyone who is an experienced recruiter knows that our job is tough already....but then add working on a draw? It's horrible and just not worth it unless you're super transactional and don't care about ethics.
