Pros

No pros what so ever. I learnt how horrible people can be and how many lies they can tell looking into your eyes. All in all, educative to see how low people can get:)

Cons

It was very entertaining to read agile search's response to the negative reviews. That exactly shows how incompetent they are at receiving and giving feedback. Horrible feedback culture although they constantly talk about it. Very interesting place. They are also lying a lot! They were never ever gentle in any ways, let alone giving feedback. They actually yelled at me couple of times. I wasn't disrespectful to their senior (5 years experienced, as you can see they have to mention this because if you are 5 years experienced in agile search you can be rude to others in their world) person at all yet she was absolutely micromanaging and rude to everyone in the company. It is mentioned before that everyone is disturbed by her and also the upper management, yet employees can't do anything about it as they feel in debted to the company. In my opinion, even if someone starts a new position in tech recruitment or any field with no previous experience (I have previous software engineering experience btw), one can still listen to any person respectfully (even if she has 5 whatever years experience). Beacuse this is common sense it's how it should be in a proper work place. You can't justify not ever exchanging ideas by saying I've 5 years experience... Of course I question if someone claims that something obvious is something else... What a circus... I can't even believe I have to explain this to anyone, especially to someone with 5 years experience. Leave it there, there's no point trying to justify how horrible of a work environment you've created. There's no point to it. I also witnessed senior management scolding a software engineer candidate during an interview. So they can show their true colours to not only to their own people but also to anyone else... I only wish good luck and patience to the current employees.

Pros

When I first joined Agile Search, I was scared because I came from a different area and with little tech and recruitment experience. Tech recruiting sounded extremely interesting and a great fit for what I wanted to do but, at the same time, there was (and there is) plenty to learn. Regardless of this, these months have been amazing and everyone in the team is helpful and supportive. What struck me the most: - Transparency - we all get weekly updates on every area and plenty of freedom to ask anything from anyone. - Flexibility - no one cares what time you clock in, or leave. You have your job, your tasks, and your goals. Time and place don't matter. - Incredible support from the team - you are never alone! - Managers and team leads truly care about everyone, are always available to talk, open to feedback and discuss anything. - We all come from different countries and we all truly care about creating a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace. - When we discuss ideas or plans, there's no person who is not interested. We all wanna make the company a better workplace day after day. - When you join, regardless of your role and seniority, your ideas are heard, appreciated, and taken into account. You feel part of the company from day 1. I can only be thankful for the great opportunity, for the constant support, for everything that I have been learning and for giving me the opportunity to work on different projects from the first day!

Cons

None in particular at this point. Clearly, there are processes and aspects to improve but we continuously work to make that happen.

Pros

Hires both Senior recruiters as well as Junior recruiters and facilities virtual coaching sessions and online learning. There is an environment of trust, transparency, progression, and flexibility. Interesting clients in the Nordics such as Klarna, Shibsted, Kivra. There are people from all over the world on the team. It is a truly diverse team, around 30 different nationalities and everybody is inclusive and friendly as a company should be. Provides great opportunities to foreign newcomers academics in Sweden and Finland Celebrates good annual results with non-work-related-company trips to a foreign country. Very flexible with remote work and hybrid work.

Cons

When working in-house with clients the workload can get intense at times depending on the case. The agency is growing fast lately as well as all the clients. I would not recommend it to someone that likes a strict working structure and have many processes in place, you need to have the initiative to do things yourself while still knowing when to reach out for assistance or advice.
