Breath of fresh air compared to previous staffing employer

Business Outlook

Pros

Was only there for a short amount of time, but Softworld was very welcoming. The company has a great culture, strong structure, and fair compensation. They were a breath of fresh air coming from a larger staffing firm, which offered a less-inferior service to their clients. I also completed Softworld's sales training, which was comprehensive and well-put-together. I would absolutely recommend to anyone seeking a position in staffing.

Cons

Nothing negative to say here

Softworld Response

Thank you very much for your feedback; very glad to hear that you had such a positive experience in a relatively short amount of time. We take pride in all of the things you mentioned, including how our environment compares to much larger companies in our industry. We are additionally constantly expanding on our training programs, for which our entire company and leadership teams play major parts in. -- Softworld Vice President, Professional Development
