Not nice - Tech Recruiter Agile Search Employee Review

First of all, thanks for sharing your experience. We're glad you liked the equipment but it's unfortunate that you feel this way leaving Agile Search. It's never our intention for people to feel that they have been treated unfairly. Most of our people would probably disagree about our plans, decisions not being transparent. We involved everyone in defining the values, the vision and mission of the company. We involved people in the long term planning and we always involve everyone in the yearly planning and half year planning review. We also update everyone on the progress in delivery, sales, human resources, recruitment, marketing and even finances on a weekly basis during the weekly meetings. Most of the decisions are made together with the employees. I believe the incident you are referring to that makes you feel so sour about the experience with us relates to the very beginning of your time with us. You were new to recruitment when you joined us and we onboarded you for two weeks and assigned you to work as an embedded recruiter together with a highly experienced tech recruiter (who has been working here for more than 5 years), so you could learn and receive guidance from a senior recruiter. Unfortunately, 1 week into that assignment, you started to question the work of our senior recruiter and acted in a disrespectful way towards them. We stepped in and gently informed you that you should trust the advice and recommendations from your more senior colleague. We also told you that new ideas are good to have and raise, but if someone senior to you listens to you and still refers to the client's requirements and expectations, you should have the ability to listen and follow instructions. Once again, you came into a clinch with the senior recruiter creating a lot of stress and a poor atmosphere with your coworker, putting the client relationship at risk. We then had to have another meeting with you to give you very clear and concrete feedback, so that you would hopefully understand that you need to learn the recruiter job and gain some experience before challenging someone more senior than you as well as the client. Considering the harm done, we decided to switch you out of the case and put you on other assignments to groom you and give you the benefit of the doubt. It seems you never got over that first conflict and lacked the self-awareness to realise how your way of interacting with others affects collaboration with your colleagues. One of our core values is innovation and we constantly innovate. Some of those innovations have led us to start another business unit within IT consulting, an academy and more, in the last couple of years. A big part of successful innovation is also to recognize good ideas from bad ideas and we are quite good at doing so. Unfortunately it means that not everyone's idea is the right one to move forward with. As for "utilizing" international employees, we've always believed in international talent and given people chances, both ones that were already in Sweden/Finland and people who were interested in relocating to the Nordics. We’ve always believed in the value of international teams with people of different backgrounds and experiences, and we offer market based compensation - if not, we would not be able to sponsor the visas and work permits of these employees, so this is simply not true. We're leading the way and have always been challenging the status quo when it comes to hiring international talent. We have been pushing our clients in that direction for years and we're finally seeing some changes. We wish you all the best ahead and perhaps a chance to re-evaluate yourself in your next job.
