Pros
- Quarterly parties, lots of giveaways, occasional catered breakfast, lunch, or snacks. - Great coffee machine, snacks and more. - Built a proprietary ATS that's VERY comprehensive - Casual work environment - Top producers have top perks
Cons
- Quarterly parties, giveaways are only great if you're a top producer. I'm a hard worker and I'm making 3 times the money I was making at CyberCoders because I'm not interested in working at a sweatshop where the daily work consists of hitting 5 CA (CyberActions) per day instead of building great talent at companies. 1 cyber action = submitting a resume to a client or posting a job or some other junk that I don't remember. - The ATS is (or at least was until 2012 when I left) EXTREMELY slow and buggy and irritating - Producers at the bottom don't have any support. You either sink or swim there is no training period, ramp up time, or assistance. When a company invests in an employee, they try and help the employee if they're struggling. Not this one. - Nothing but numbers matter. Make the hires. - The strategy is to basically spam every potential hiring manager at companies and contacts found online. CyberCoders teaches you that corporate recruiters are a roadblock even though I'm working as a Corporate Recruiter now and Agency recruiters can only get a contract through me, not the hiring manager. - The ATS automatically spams all potential candidates in the database. The candidates have been obtained through manual entry by the candidate themselves, monster, dice, and other job boards. When a recruiter runs a boolean search in the ATS, a few minutes later, the system automatically emails all the candidates that show up in the system. Great it saves time, but I don't want to work for a company that thinks only about maximizing numbers by spamming people. - MICROMANAGEMENT!!! Micromanagement up the WAZOO! Every single number is tracked - weekly phone time, each and every account, number of "Cyber Actions", number of times you drink coffee (ok, about the last one I kid). - Google them, they have a bad reputation and rightfully so. As a corporate recruiter and even a hiring manager, I Google the companies I am paying thousands of dollars for recruiting support.
