Pros

Kforce has some of the best people I’ve met in my short career. Pay is solid for early in career or start of career. Most of team is in mid-20s to mid-30s. VSD team is more of a parter to recruiters than an actual recruiter. Very far removed from clients. Work-life balance is definitely achievable here. 1 day in office as of now. Probably the best part about this position but you’ll have to prove yourself a little first.

Cons

Growth depends on if you’re wanting leadership route or performer route. The market is extremely saturated so you’ll be competing with the literal managers helping you to train. On top of that, to no fault of Kforce, the general technical talent pool is suffering which makes it really difficult to excel. Definitely a political landscape that leans into favoritism, so just keep that in mind.

Pros

Decent salary base, probably could be a really good paying job if the job market was better

Cons

Definitely a typical, corporate sales culture where you are defined by your metrics and your metrics only. They are money grabbers, and their commission structure isn't that great. After 2 years you lose 50% of your commission from contractors and they eliminated early release days before holidays. My office started becoming a "bro culture" and the leader was clearly trying to act like "one of the guys" with the males in the office. If your market is slow with reqs, they expect you to reach out to other offices for subs which is hard to do when other offices favor their own teams' recruiters. They'll likely give you a picked over req or one not close to the money that their own team didn't want to work on. I had to reach out to other offices daily to basically beg for a req to work on to hit my metrics. To add to it, the PTO structure for salaried employees is not how they described it when I joined. 17 PTO days total (including sick/personal time btw) and it is actually accrued throughout the year. I had to use PTO for sick time and a vacation, so when I left I had to write them a check for my balance! Talk about a way to really give someone the boot when they're on their way out the door.
