Don't work here - Technical Recruiter OneSparQ Employee Review

Working here feels like a humiliation ritual. The office operates like a weird high school cafeteria with an unspoken social hierarchy between Account Managers and Recruiters that everyone pretends doesn’t exist. Every morning starts with a pointless 8AM meeting, followed by someone being chosen to “send out” the team by standing in front of everyone and yelling forced motivation. Sounds fun right? Not. If you don't do it "correctly" it's frowned upon. If you are excited about it being friday or looking toward the weekend, frowned upon. "Monday is the best day of the week." Ok? Weird. On top of that, if you get a start locked up you have to bang this giant gong in the middle of the office that is not only startling to everyone but you have to high five every person in the office! It’s embarrassing and wildly unprofessional, especially since most people are on calls. Celebrating wins is great but this is not the way to do it. There is something on Friday's called “Power Hours” where everyone in the office crams into a tiny conference room and cold calls while music plays and drinks beer. Again, sounds fun. But it's incredibly overstimulating and unprofessional all together. Not to mention this takes away time from getting subs (your money) and meeting production expectations. The CEO is overly invested in everyone’s personal relationships, pushing the idea that we all need to be friends. This is a workplace so who cares as long as people work well together? Now onto the homework. There is always something. There is always an email to send that recaps a meeting we had that everyone who is on the email, was in. It's busy work. They will make you go to dinners or activities with your Account Managers because again… they are obsessed with the idea of Account Managers and Recruiters being best friends. It's a waste of time. They will give us odd tasks throughout the day to complete that have nothing to do with our actual job and then question why you haven't met your production score. Also, production expectation changes constantly so don't expect to ever be in the loop or successful because you'll never be doing enough. I forgot to mention, they make you take quizzes until your 26th week and they grade you.... sorry? I'm just confused. Is this supposed to be a serious company? In addition, they make you schedule multiple meetings a week (after work hours) with account managers to "roleplay" which is where you pretend to take a phone call with them. And yes, it's mandatory. Everything is always before or after office hours. There is something called “Plus Deltas” where everyone in the office meets after work for two hours and telling each other (in front of everyone) what they have been doing well and what they can work on. I love some construction criticism but this is inappropriate and embarrassing for so many reasons. If you take a job here, be prepared to have zero free time and to have someone breathing down your neck constantly telling you that you are not doing enough. You will make no money in comparison to how much work you are putting in. They say you will earn based on the amount of work you put in but it's a lie. There is zero incentive. They ask for feedback and when you give it to them they say nothing is going to change and that you are not a hard worker. 12 people alone have quit in the past 2 months (and counting) and they still don't get it. I would rather not have a job than work here. All these other reviews are lies from people who respect Lenny or have a partner that works there. They won’t even care about this review. They won’t care until everyone has quit and they start actually losing money. Last I will mention is that this company hires young people with no corporate experience and takes advantage of their lack of knowledge. I hope everyone who is so loyal to this company will see that eventually and go get themselves a real job who values them and their hard work. There is honestly much more I could add but I don't have the time nor the energy as this job has taken both those things from me. Don't work here.
