Pros

Kforce is a good firm to start a career in Recruiting at if you're out of school or making a career transition. They primarily hire entry-level Recruiting and Sales professionals, and the training program isn't bad. The commission plan is also quite good compared to similar firms and high commissions are very attainable. Until recently the firm was fully remote, but they've started to slowly implement RTO policies.

Cons

Churn and burn culture. In a class of new hires, the majority don't last more than six months. Very KPI-heavy and lots of micromanagement. The firm monitors everything from daily dials to the amount of client meetings you set, and that information is shared publicly, mainly to foster internal competition. Very young and and fratty culture, which can be off-putting for age 30+ workers with families, especially since the booze flows freely at most company gatherings. Inefficient technology and processes lead to lots of time spent on data entry and duplicate reporting. For example, recruiters report candidate subs in the CRM, the daily afternoon report, the morning meeting, and the End of Week report, when all of that can easily be pulled from a report in the CRM. Shady hiring and firing practices. The firm announced a round of layoffs the day of a poor earnings call, and two weeks later was hiring again. The firm also mandated a return to office after repeatedly assuring staff that wasn't going to happen. Way too many internal meetings without a value add, which combined with the data entry and KPI tracking requires extra hours out of your day. Might work for folks in their 20s but very difficult for people with families. Additionally, the firm has a very weird evangelical Christian underpinning. They have an on-site Chaplain, fund a number of problematic Evangelical charities. The firm isn't very public about this, and has many non-Christian employees who are surprised to learn about it.

Pros

Remote work (which has now been modified for certain roles)

Cons

- Blatant favoritism. Leaders will ignore emails and contact from associates while responding and publicly answering to others. - Racially biased senior and executive leadership and their rumored participation in racially motivated hate groups. - Below-average pay across the organization -Awards to pacify associates. They will let go of top performers and award earners with little to no explanation or warning. - High turnover - Severance packages based on a "program" instead of your impact or your contribution to firm growth
