Pros

I have worked at multiple staffing firms and there has never been a company that compares to Onward. The culture, the benefits, leadership and most importantly the passion/ love for what we do. 4 weeks in I knew I wanted to stay here for the remainder of my career and grow internally. Highly recommended!

Cons

Company is still growing so there may not have as much perks as other larger staffing firms -- not that important though.

Pros

attracted me with promise of lucrative compensation package, but they change it as soon as you get to the point where you can actually start to cash in

Cons

Dishonest, all about numbers. They just want to force candidates into roles, even if they don't fit at all

I am a bit confused as we don't have a role in the company called Candidate Liaison, and this does not sound like our company at all. I’d appreciate an opportunity to talk in person, so I can get more details on what you’ve commented on here. My email is ken@onwardsearch.com. Let’s set up a time to chat. Thanks in advance.

Pros

Onward Search is a family owned company and that has set the bar pretty high with regards to working environment and culture for me. As a company we have the infrastructure and funding in place to make strategic hires and expand into new markets to better serve our clients / candidates as we continue to grow as an industry leader in our space. On a personal level Onward has afforded me the opportunity to relocate my family and continue to grow as an employee with multiple promotions and increased management responsibilities over the years. Virtually every year that I have been with the company we have seen increased focus on Training and Employee Development programs as well as better benefit offerings with regards to Health, Dental, and Vision benefits. We've added Short-Term Disability, increased Maternity Leave Coverage, increased Vacation Time and PTO, Summer Friday programs, company sponsored Breakfast and Lunches, Holiday Parties, and countless sales competitions focused on putting more money in your pocket or more time off on the calendar. This company has gone out of it's way to remove most of if not all of the negative aspects of many staffing organizations in an effort to focus on what really matters: Helping People Find Work and Servicing Our Clients. You will 100% get out of this Company what you put into it!

Cons

This is a challenging industry with good days and bad days, just like anywhere else.
