I made the right choice!

Pros

This is a company on the rise. Lots of opportunity as a recruiter. Tons of great positions to work on and lots of room for advancement. There have been a number of promotions since I have been here. Recruiters are treated as equals with the sales team. Management is very engaged and involved with the business. I feel like I can go to my manager or any manager in the company for help. I have weekly meetings with my manager, monthly training, and even monthly meetings with my VP! All of these are focused on training and getting better at my job. My last company I maybe talked to my VP twice a year. Here he will actually jump in and help me with a search! I have learned more here this year than the rest of my career combined. I'm also making more money than any other job I've had.

Cons

The company has grown so fast that it looks like we are out of space. They just expanded the office but it looks like that filled up pretty fast. Feels cramped at times but it's not that big of a deal.

Subpar Management

Pros

Commission structure is solid, great earning potential for top billers

Cons

Coming into the company after the merger, we thought it’d be a great partnership, but it’s been pretty disappointing. The place feels like high school, with cliques everywhere and not much accountability. Sales is tough to reach, and rather than pushing for results, they seem to protect people who aren’t pulling their weight. Leadership tried to smooth things over, but the effort came across poorly—there was visible drinking and some unprofessional comments made during work events. Since day one, it’s felt like they didn’t really want our team here, and that attitude hasn’t shifted.

Thank you very much for your candor, and apologies for the delayed response. I'm glad to see your positive thoughts about the earning potential at Softworld, but I'm sorry to hear about your disappointment on other fronts. For what it's worth, I've been actively engaged in ongoing conversations, decisions, and actions over the past year, involving all levels of the organization and both legacy teams. Our shared goals have been about growing and succeeding together, as its the only way to build on our foundations. However, if the environment we've created isn't fostering that spirit for you, then we clearly have more work to do. Rather talk about the complexities of the past year, or listing specific business, cultural, and accountability efforts that are underway, I instead want to emphasize that your candor and good faith are appreciated. Our goal is to constantly increase satisfaction with the direction of the company, regardless of which team, group, or organization anyone came from. If there's anything you'd like to add, including any specific suggestions that would address some of your concerns, please feel free to reach out to me anytime at 781-373-8452. Thank you again for your thoughts.
