Pros

This review is specifically for the Chicago market - In such a large market, there is an unlimited number of staffing firms to work for. All will promote themselves as having great commission structures, opportunities for growth, etc. but at the end of the day, the majority treat employees as nothing more than a foot in the door and a source of GP. Harvey Nash is unique in that it functions as a boutique firm but has the backing of an international publicly traded company. The culture of this office is unbeatable - everybody supports each other and we come to work hard and play hard. The Sales Team develops meaningful relationships with clients and this drives business in a way that allows the Recruiters to work independently on numerous positions rather than competing against each other to fill one job order. The offshore sourcing team provides candidate resumes so that Recruiters can spend more time speaking to candidates than searching the job boards. Management is directly involved in all aspects of the process; supporting the Sales and Recruitment Teams with client and candidate relationships and actively engaging in the professional development of all Harvey Nash employees. The Harvey Nash CEO is also very involved in all of the 7 U.S. offices, in the past few months, he has traveled to Chicago numerous times for conferences and always makes sure to take us to lunch or dinner in order to stay up to date on everything going on with the market and how he can help with clients, job orders, or any other support we may need. When you first start at Harvey Nash, you spend a week in New Jersey at the corporate offices, getting to know the executive team and receiving hands on training on best practices. Aside from the culture and management, Harvey Nash's commission structure is the best there is. Everyone in this office has come from other recruitment firms and our jaws dropped when we learned how much money we're able to make. And after being here for a while, I can truly attest that it's not the empty promise that we're all so used to hearing, my starting commission is 10x what I was making in my last position. Not only is the commission incredible, but unlike companies that expect you to work until 8 or 9PM, work life balance is something that management values - work hard during the hours you're here, but make sure to have fun and relax after 5/5:30PM! Overall, this is the best, most supportive team that I have ever worked with and I look forward to continuing my career at Harvey Nash in Chicago.

Cons

I have no cons. I've never felt more valued in a company than I do with Harvey Nash.

Pros

Location, commission structure.. thats about it

Cons

Keep in mind that this is only for the Chicago market. Some of the other markets hire great talent and breed success..The turn over Harvey Nash faces in the Chicago market is horrible, so much so that the CEO has flown in a few times to do some damage control. The turn over is a direct reflection of poor management, lack of motivation and hunger. They are the type of staffing company that says yes to every requirement, regardless of if they have the capability to fill the role. The office is small and outdated. The commission structure has potential to be great but only if you have consistent, steady business and good relationships... both of which are not present here.

Pros

Not often do you find a company with an environment like this one. While we are all in fairly early stages of our careers, it's obvious our company is setting us up for long term success. That doesn't mean the job is easy, because it's not. It means that if you are motivated to find value in whatever you're doing, you can find it here. Recent management has done an amazing job of branding Harvey Nash in Seattle to fit well with the current tech climate. The recruiting industry is changing everyday and it's going to take more creative people to stay ahead of the curve. Of course there is risk in recruiting, maybe more so than in other sales positions given the volatility of the product (people), but that is not specific to Harvey Nash. If you want to keep developing your skills of resilience, persistence, and accountability, the structure of this company magnifies a solid work ethic.

Cons

Transparency is sometimes an issue, although personal goals and successes are still the highest priorities.
