It is an Agency, there is a focus on billable hours. Burnout is always on the table. There's a sales focus on design and tech that doesn't provide growth for the core dev team

Fun, flexible, rewarding

Creative recruiter

Business Outlook

Pros

Leadership doesn’t micro manage around outbound calls and arbitrary activity metrics, all metrics for directly into production, flexible with time off, company trip for top performers. Generous commission and bonus structure, open door policy with leadership all the way up to the owners Great office (hope to be back soon!), fun team outings They are looking to continued to grow so it’s a competitive atmosphere where high performance is the expectation, but you feel very supported by leadership, training, operations, etc...

Cons

Recruiting/Staffing by nature is really difficult and challenging. That’s not an indictment of Horizontal Talent
