Pros

Man. Where to begin here. Before I begin just wanted to state I came on board as NON experienced recruiter working totally remote and this is my first remote job. Lets start with expectations and training: Management and HR set expectations up front about what the job entails. There is no sugar coating or beating around the bush on how difficult recruiting can be and challenges I would face. My manager in particular is one of the best. I've only had one other person have my back no matter what before. My current manager will move heaven and earth to make sure I have the resources I need to do my job. He even went as far as to have daily check in's to discuss strategy. Some might have viewed this as micro-managing, but that was not the case at all. It was just having someone help hold me accountable and offer guidance when I needed. There is not one person in the company who wouldn't help anyone else on the team especially in training. Lets talk about process, procedures, and culture- Company culture is incredible and supportive. What I love most about BSS is that I have the flexibility to manage my own desk and work as I please. I am not bound to a strict 8-5 schedule. There are many times I am having to put in an extra hour or two in the evening due to clients I have on the west coast. Its also nice that management understands not everyday is going to be a productive and great day. Some days are great, others are not. I never feel like I'm going to be scolded for having "un productive days" as long as my metrics and billings are on track. Lets talk metrics and pay- The company has a pretty lenient metric policy. They really give you the ball and then you have to run with it. It does take some time to get ramped up, it personally took me 3.5 months, but others have been quicker. I personally receive a draw and then once I'm caught up I earn bonus checks. The commission rate for placements is the most competitive I've seen in a sales job. It does not take long to really start making great money. Over all I can't say enough great things. For someone like me who had zero idea of what the recruiting world is/was like, I'm just thankful it has been with Blue Signal so far. I have a hard time believing any other agency out there being better than this. Matt's vision is unreal and he is the best leader a company could ask for.

Cons

Every job has its good and bad, but for BSS there is not much on the bad side. In a perfect world all recruiters could get a standard base salary instead of a draw, but once you get ahead of the draw its gravy. In a way it does stink not being able to pop in the office and see the team regularly. I am an extrovert and feed off that energy of being around people. The last thing I will say, and this really isn't a pro or a con, but who ever comes into this organization needs to have grit, determination, and not accept failure as an option.

Thank you for your thorough review of Blue Signal! We are so happy to hear that your experience thus far has been a good one. A couple points you noted about metrics and "un-productive" days are very true; while you may view them as lenient metrics, we see as being human. As long as you are consistently doing the behaviors it takes to be successful we will always work with you, and it sounds like that was your experience! "Have grit, determination, and non accept failure as an option." - Such a great (and necessary) mindset to have in recruiting! We are so pleased you are finding success and can't wait to see your continued achievements!
