Pros

Good location in New Hampshire by the Seacoast. Good opportunity to gain some contacts in the business to use when you move on. Good entry level position for about 6 months.

Cons

Management counts your phone calls, emails, submittals and every hour that you work. Long work days. The real boss / owner runs the show while his manager enforces his rules. You're only as good as your last months performance. Extremely metric driven and behind the times when it comes to present day recruiting. No time to research new techniques to get in touch with people. Do as I say, not as I do mentality.

We appreciate your feedback, and although we disagree with your ‘boiler room’ description of the in-house recruiting atmosphere, we agree that our competitive environment is not for everyone. In fact, it is not for most people. Agency recruiting is HARD. At its essence, recruiting is a sales job. It requires courage, smarts, creativity, hard work, determination, persistence and an unrelenting desire to succeed. Our recruiters have real goals, real expectations and real accountability. The payoff for those who have the heart and drive meet these goals and expectations is both professionally and financially rewarding. Yes, we are metrics driven, as are all successful sales organizations. However, most of our recruiters are able to meet their metrics in less than a 37 hour work week. We offer flex schedules, 100% company paid for health, dental, disability benefits, a 4% 401k match, tuition reimbursement, company paid gym membership and paid time to work out during the work day, monthly company parties, free vending machine with unlimited coffee, drinks and snacks, state-of-the-art work space, and we close at 3pm every Friday, and that is just scratching the surface of the benefits that go along with working here. We are growing, and we are hiring. If you are someone who is motivated and thrives in a competitive, hard work/ high reward environment, we’d love to hear from you!

Pros

I had a great experience working with Ana Chesley that got me a contract position at Guardant Health. She very responsive throughout the entire process, always answering my questions quickly and keeping me informed every step of the way. The onboarding and interview process was smooth and well-organized, which made everything much less stressful. She set me up with a wonderful company with a great work environment and such a supportive team. I appreciate all of their support and would highly recommend working with her and them.

Cons

I don’t have any issues or concerns!
