Pros
They say GOOD leaders make you feel like THEY are important, but EXCELLENT leaders make you feel like YOU are important. That's exactly what comes to mind when I think of my team at Lock- excellent leaders at all levels. The collaborative and supportive environment that LSG has is unmatched by any previous employer I have ever worked for. Your ideas, input and opinions are always accepted and that is the only true way that a business will continue to develop and innovate.
Cons
There is nothing at this time.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Lock Search Group full-time for more than 8 years
Pros
Great culture, great reputation, nice diversification of business both by industry and function, long-standing clients, deep candidate network, hard-working/performance-driven/fun/friendly/supportive/familial/down-to-earth employees, significant autonomy to build out your business within Lock with solid support.
Cons
As a profession, recruitment is not for everyone. It can be taxing, emotionally-draining, and sometimes frustrating...but it can also be incredibly rewarding, fun, and stimulating. Typically those that do not succeed within Lock, are those that discover that recruitment is just not a fit for them. For those that do enjoy and excel at it, you couldn't find a better place to work than Lock. Honestly.

Pros
From my first interview to months later I can truly say this company is like a family. Everyone I work with locally and associate with nationally is helpful and encouraging from my day to day task to the bigger picture of my position. Richard has passed so much knowledge down to his team and continues to support everyone through their growth with Lock.
Cons
There is nothing negative to say about this company.

Pros
Location, parking, access to gym, many years of experience behind them, work hard play hard mentality.
Cons
I worked for LS for less than one year. I was promised that I would gain exposure to their strong client list, I would benefit from introductions to their clients and that I would have their full support in building up a brand new division. NONE of this happened I made many attempts to reach out to LS's internal recruiters for assistance that was simply put ignored. I went to upper management the same person that made all of these promises that was flat out ignored with a shrug of the shoulders because simply put this was not his problem.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to hear about your negative experience working for Lock. It is never our intention to make promises we cannot keep. Our upper management does its best to be accessible to all employees, however, granting all requests is not always feasible. We have made a conscious effort in recent months to ensure new Recruiters that join our team benefit from our existing relationships and clients through regular conference calls meant to facilitate the sharing of information and connections. Thank you again for your feedback as we are always looking for ways to improve.

RecommendsI have been working at Lock Search Group full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
I've seen a postitve change in the past 3 years at LSG. The Coordinator role has been elevated; the Recruiters are now in a positive partnership with the Coordinators to create a synergie between sourcing and recruiting. We offer a real 360 degrees in the recruitment process to our clients and candidates. The new hires are now better onboarded and there is a willingness from everyone to share best practices and information on a national level.
Cons
LSG has been lacking on a technological level, but we are working on "being out there" level and rebranding our presence on all social media platforms. We are working on a mobile friendly website as well.
