Pros

I used to think there were some pros, but after working at Goodwin, I have found the ownership and leadership team to be liars. To be fair, the trainers are the best part of the company.

Cons

Favoritism, the owner is fake and phony, and the CEO lacks integrity. When you lose 100 people in 3 months, that tells a story. When more than 1/2 the team has zero income in February, that tells a story.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. While we strongly disagree with several of the statements made, we do appreciate your recognition of the business launch resources within our organization, as we invest heavily in helping Recruiting Partners build long-term success. Goodwin Recruiting is built on integrity, accountability, and relationships, and those values remain non-negotiable for our leadership team and organization as a whole. As with any entrepreneurial and performance-based business model, there are periods of transition and evolution, particularly within a changing recruiting market, but we remain focused on supporting our partners, delivering results for our clients, and continuing to strengthen our culture and business for the long term. We recognize that recruiting is a relationship-driven industry, and we agree that attracting, developing, and retaining great recruiters is critically important. That focus continues to be a major priority for our leadership team as we grow and evolve.

Pros

You run your own desk and make your own success

Cons

heavy on the side of hospitality but they are opening other areas but for those who are not in hospitality a bit of a down side at lease for me.

Thank you for the great feedback and for recognizing the entrepreneurial nature of our Recruiting Partner model. One of the things we value most at Goodwin Recruiting is giving partners the freedom and flexibility to build their business and define success on their own terms. We also appreciate the feedback regarding industry diversification. While hospitality remains a strong foundation and core expertise for our company, we have continued to expand into a wide range of professional recruiting verticals across healthcare, finance, technology, legal, construction, manufacturing, sales, HR, and executive search. We are excited about the continued growth and opportunities ahead across all of our specialized recruiting sectors.
