Very Positive Experience

Pros

Excellent communication from my Account Manager who was also very accessible. I was invited to a lunch meeting by my Account Manager every few months to check in on how things were going. My personal experience was that Softworld and my Account Manager in particular genuinely looked out for my best interests, I would not hesitate to work with them again.

Cons

The health insurance options could be a bit better, but that seems to be the story with a lot of companies in recent years.

Softworld Response

Thank you for the great feedback about our Account Management team. They are a talented group that puts a lot of energy into the consultant experience. We are lucky to have them!

Pros

Great Staff that is very helpful and willing to assist you when called upon Great compensation plan

Cons

Feedback takes too long and the Sales Team is real passive Top recruiters have been there between 8-10 years and they are only billing at $10/k You end up trading time for money

Pros

I worked with Softworld for three months and found them friendly, competant, and appreciative of my efforts for their client. They paid for some of my parking, but not all. They paid promptly and without issues, and invoicing was simple. They took me to lunch after a few weeks.

Cons

Considering the glowing reviews I got from their client, I was a little surprised they didn't make much effort to find other work for me. I didn't hear about an opportunity for 6 months and yet I live near DC, which has hundreds of similar openings a month.
