Altis Recruitment Reviews

Thank you for your post. You are absolutely correct in saying that we are fortunate to have a team of long-standing employees, of 5, 10 and 20 years plus. That said, our leadership team consists of a range of individuals who have been with us for a little has 6 months, and some up to 25+ years. This breadth of experience blends historic knowledge with fresh and innovate strategies to help our business develop and grow. It is clear from your comments that you have not worked for our firm in recent years. We run an extensive education program called Altis Academy for team members to build their early knowledge. The training consists of a blend of one-on-one learning, and group training via-Zoom, job shadowing experiences and pre-recorded videos offered via our Learning Management System. It’s very popular! As well, mental health has been at the forefront of our efforts, especially throughout COVID. We have an Employee Family Assistance Program, have offered FREE days off to allow for digital detox, and routinely reach out to offer one-on-one support - all in an effort to support our team’s mental wellbeing. Our teams are loving remote work, and many are opting to remain fully remote by choice. We do strongly believe in setting KPIs and individualized goals for each team member to inspire growth. These are tailored specifically to each person - in fact we call them “personalized success plans” because we recognize that it’s not a one size fits all business. Each person has their own unique set of goals that require strategies specific to their skill-sets. And clearly that method is working because in our most recent engagement survey we saw a 94% employee satisfaction rate. As for gin and tonics, well 18 months ago, these may have been served at social events – along with non-alcoholic beverages. Adults make their own decisions about their drink of choice! Of course we realize that this business isn’t for everyone - and clearly we were not the right company for you. We wish you nothing but the best in your future endeavours and encourage you to speak up sooner if you are dissatisfied in your role. The only way change can occur is through open communication.

Thank you for your post. Some of the points you make lead us to wonder if you are speaking about the correct firm. Specifically, you mention that the work envionrment was “toxic and micro managed”. This is in direct opposition to our most recent engagement survey which indicated a 94% employee satisfaction rate. You then refer to being let go prior to a probationary period so your severence would not need to be paid out. It’s important to note that we pay out termination notice according to the Employment Standards Act, therefore it is not tied to the probationary period that someone has with our firm. In regards to parting ways, if a person’s skills do not align with the role we have available, we would have an open discussion to review their results and seek ways of improvement. Our goal is for each person to thrive at our company and we invest considerably in our team’s success. The comment regarding an “officer manager” is confusing given that we don’t have anyone in this position. When you use this term, it leads us to believe you have not worked in our organization. You go on to say that the office manager was “getting drunk with people” which is perplexing since our team members have been working remotely since March 2020 and are now managed virtually. There is something not connected about this review, and we would really love to hear from you directly. Please do reach out to any member of our team in HR or leadership, so we can discuss the ways in which we can do better and if in fact, this review is related to our company given the discrepancies.

Thank you for all of the Pros you indicated regarding our firm. We pride ourselves on creating an inclusive and diverse culture and invest considerably in each person’s growth and success. We’re glad to hear that you felt our training was strong and that you were able to create balance in your day. We’re sorry to hear that you felt surprised by our decision to part ways. We aim to be as transparent as possible when things are not working and pride ourselves on a stepped approach to performance coaching which includes multiple verbal conversations, as well as written follow up. There are instances where we observe that the role we have available, does not align with the skill set of the person we’ve hired. In those cases, we aim to be in service of them when it comes to their job search, resume and networking. Our goal is to part with positivity, assisting them in finding a position where they will thrive. We appreciate that you shared these concerns with us directly as well in your Exit Interview and we want to reiterate that we are available to support you in your future job search in any way that we can. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
