Pros

They paid me for some of the work I produced.

Cons

I've had several concerning experiences at Softworld, including unprofessional and toxic behavior from upper management who often discussed personal information regarding our other colleagues including their DUIs, their personal relationships, in office sex scandals, "drinking problems", rehab visits, and much more, They even went so far as to directly send me videos (which I still have) of Softworld employees drinking at bars late at night on a week day in hopes to persuade me to visit the office all of which is highly inappropriate. The work environment is toxic, with management actively trying to drive out top recruiters to take their commissions. They've admitted the company is not performing well and use misleading tactics to inflate their numbers. These practices include re-entering old deals as new, doubling requisitions, and manipulating recruiter perceptions to present a false image of success. To my personal friends at Motion Recruitment, I will be reaching out to further bring to light what it was like working at Softworld under this person in upper management.

Softworld does not condone the behaviors that you described and takes them seriously. Please message me separately so that we can have a member of the ER department reach out to you to gather additional details to facilitate an investigation.
