Pros

Culture - such a supportive enviorment, positive, inclusive, nurturing Work/Life Balance - being 100% remote is a dream come true. As a recruiting partner, you have full control of your schedule! As long as you hit your sales goals, you can work whenever! (Traditional 9-5 business hours are still best times to conduct business) Unlimited Income - You can work as much as you want! Many of our partners have incredibly high sales, which means high income

Cons

Working from home is not for everyone! If you are you used to being around a lot of people and relying on the social aspect of a job to motivate you, you may have an adjustment period. Personally, I have always worked better on my own and enjoy being able to concentrate without distractions at home. You have to be a self starter and keep your own motivation going. Sales are also not for everyone. If you work hard and understand what you're doing, success will come. You have to stay laser focused on the job at hand and you will be successful!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. While this role is fundamentally focused on sales and business development, it's also incredibly rewarding in that it gives us the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of our candidates and clients. I'm truly sorry to hear that your experience didn’t reflect that. That said, I’d love to offer some additional context. While everyone contributes through outreach to clients and candidates, more than 85% of our placements are shared between two or more team members. We truly value collaboration and do our best to foster a supportive, team-oriented culture within a competitive environment. I appreciate your feedback and would be happy to speak further if you're open to connecting.

Pros

Excellent company culture – collaborative, supportive, and team-oriented. Uncapped commission – earning potential is high for those willing to put in the effort. Extensive resources & continuous improvements – the company invests in tools, training, and technology to help recruiters succeed. Opportunities for growth – ability to take on additional roles, expand into different industries, and build a strong book of business.

Cons

Lengthy ramp-up period – success takes time, and it can take a few months to start seeing significant income. 100% commission-based – no base salary, so income can be unpredictable initially. No benefits – healthcare, retirement plans, and other traditional benefits are not provided to independent contractors

Thank you so much for being part of the Goodwin Recruiting team and for taking the time to provide this feedback. I am happy to see your list of pros and the last one pointing out the opportunity for growth. We are trying to bring in more experienced producers with to lead small teams to all for quicker ramp-up to offset the number one concern. As you mention in your advice, we are all over the plan to bring in experienced recruiters to build out teams. Thank you again for sharing your feedback.
