You'll get mediocre experience (my review is lengthy, but is utterly truthful and revealing) - Recruiter Wheeler Staffing Partners Employee Review

Pros

To those seeking employment with this company, my advice: fake it on a daily basis. I've done that since day one when I started a month or so ago. Use this crappy place (if desperate) as a spring-board to a future, actually professional position. Get the experience, put it on your resume, and forget your ever worked here. Hard to see any positives with this company. I guess a pro is the lenient dress code (business casual). They'll also hire literally anyone that comes dressed up (but they'll also fire and let go anyone). A monkey could do this job (and do a better job than the all current management staff).

Cons

As the majority of prior posts show (read the negative ones, they are actually truthful), they are not a company any young professional wants to work for long term or really at all for that matter. The "positive" posts are those from HR and/or management and are solely their to bolster/improve the company's lacking Glassdoor ratings. Don't expect a professional, a fully useful, a beneficial or a rewarding experience from this position. You'll sadly be disappointed. There's a high turnover rate. The pay is inadequate. You will not be properly trained, so expect to learn on your own (which could be good and bad I guess).

Pros

They will hire you if you have no previous recruiting experience. The interview process is very easy; I was offered a job on the spot. Most of the coworkers are nice.

Cons

Context: I was hired for a contract recruiting role, estimated to last around a few months with a potential extension (which was discussed during the interview process). Notes from my experience: 1. Leadership/team lead support changed multiple times during my time here. 2. Turnover appeared high. This contributed to some uncertainty and inconsistency in workflows. 3. Communication style was often urgent and high-pressure, which could increase stress. 4. Performance metrics were emphasized heavily. Feedback was often delivered in group settings rather than privately. 5. Training was minimal and lacked a standardized structure. There was no formal training manual. New hires were expected to perform independently very quickly. 6. Grace for early mistakes felt limited. This was despite new hires still learning systems and expectations. 7. New hires were asked to train other new hires without clear guidance or training resources. 8. Leadership encouraged questions, but responses to questions could feel impatient or inconsistent, especially when access to resources was limited. 9. Time-off requests were not always clearly communicated or acknowledged, making personal scheduling difficult. 10. This is a highly numbers-driven, high-pressure environment. While thresholds were discussed during the interview, actual desired performance was higher in practice, and progress toward these thresholds was emphasized in meetings.

Wheeler Staffing Partners Response

Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback. We appreciate hearing about both the positive aspects of your experience and the areas where you believe we can improve. We'd like to provide some additional context regarding this particular assignment. This was a high-volume Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) engagement where performance metrics and productivity expectations were discussed with every recruiter during the interview process, onboarding, and throughout the project. Because this was a client-driven engagement, the client retained the right to remove recruiters who were not meeting the agreed-upon performance expectations. Our responsibility was to coach, support, and communicate those expectations as clearly as possible. This project was originally expected to last approximately three months but, due to the overall success of the program, it was extended to nearly eight months. During that time, more than 100 recruiters worked on the engagement, with the overwhelming majority remaining through the completion of the project. We're also proud that several members of the recruiting team were ultimately hired directly by the client as full-time employees. We recognize that fast-paced, high-volume recruiting environments are not the right fit for everyone. They require frequent communication, performance coaching, and the ability to adapt quickly to changing client needs. We also understand your comments regarding training and leadership continuity and continually use employee feedback to improve our onboarding processes and management practices. We appreciate your contributions during your time with Wheeler Staffing Partners and wish you continued success in your career.
