Great flexibility but no pay raises for promotions - Recruiter Connect Search Employee Review

Recruiters were responsive and helped place candidates with client companies. Good exposure to finance and operations environments.

Contract roles can vary depending on the client company and assignment length.

On paper, the comp plan looks great. Early on, the company actually felt like a place people wanted to build something. Before shifts at the top, the culture was collaborative and motivated. While it is staffing and this job is nonstop at every company, they do provide flexibility for family obligations. However, remote/hybrid policy is constantly changing and different for every office.

Everything runs on favoritism. Performance doesn’t matter nearly as much as whether the people in charge personally like you. If you’re in the inner circle, you can get away with anything and everyone else is expected to fall in line. Collections are terrible. Clients routinely pay months late and nothing is done to fix it. The comp plan rarely works in your favor because money just sits in collections with zero urgency. The company was created to escape Robert Half style bureaucracy and politics, then proceeded to hire a wave of people from Robert Half. It quickly became the exact corporate mess it claimed to hate. What used to be a great company no longer exists. Behavior from people in charge is unprofessional. I’ve witnessed people being screamed at and cursed at. Concerns raised by strong performers are often dismissed rather than addressed. Accountability is nonexistent. Some people barely work and nothing happens. When high performers raise concerns, the response is, “what do you want me to do about it?” Meanwhile the people carrying the workload burn out and leave. The goalposts constantly move. Expectations change whenever it’s convenient and only benefits those at the top. Example? Too many people made club trip one year so the rules were changed and made incredibly tricky to qualify. Unless you’re liked enough, then you’re brought along even if you didn’t qualify and the rules somehow don’t matter. They’ve lost nearly every strong producer who refused to drink the Kool Aid. The ones who stay are stuck with golden handcuffs and afraid to start over or are just as bad. The drinking culture is intense and pushed by those running things. You’re pressured to drink at company events and made fun of if you don’t. Politics dominate the office and professionalism has eroded significantly over time.
