Pros

Product is doing well and it's ridiculously easy to find talent interested in the team

Cons

The whole team believes dying for ElevenLabs is the only possible route. Only hire from "thE BesT UniSS" (which is like.. 3), whole countries considered "lazy", people with kids considered "too interested in having a life". 5 recruiters were fired before the end of their probation, and more keep on being fired. They have no idea what they're doing but are so convinced they are right People are lowballed if they don't negotiate

Thank you for the time you put into writing this. The picture you describe is hard to read, and not the experience we want any recruiter to walk away with after their first year here. What you describe is not the team or the company we want to be. Hearing this from a former recruiter, with this level of detail and pain in the framing, is feedback that needs to be heard, not skimmed. What you have raised deserves more than a public reply can offer. If you would be open to a conversation about your time, we would value it. We appreciate the depth of what you have shared.

Pros

I love the whole vibe of the company, it’s fast paced but not in an insane way, but in a motivating way.

Cons

It’s contracted, would be nice to be benefited, but honestly overall, very happy.

Pros

High inbound volume, name carries weight with customers

Cons

Pay is below market and equity for GTM is basically nothing Sales is treated like a necessary evil, you feel it constantly Comp plans expect a never ending stream of hype that will fall apart at the first bump in the road Agents product is falling behind and models are commoditizing fast
