Pros
We have a direct positive impact on candidate's lives, providing feedbacks, helping them improve their performance and, finally, helping them realize their dreams moving to a different country: this is a really meaningful part of what we do. It's always satisfying whenever a candidate has been committed, working hard and gets hired We get to work and interact with people from all over the world everyday, it's a 100% remote company, so we have plenty of flexibility As a recruiter, you don't have to source for candidates in several platforms: we have our own platform, work with our candidate base and there's a sourcing team focused on bringing new candidates to the platform as needed The company is still small, so your voice and ideas are heard, including when it comes to ideas to improve the platform
Cons
Recruiters have a base salary + comission per hiring. The base salary is not great and the comission is highly affected by the type of client you're hiring candidates for (some clients are committed and invested and you can close a position pretty fast, but others are not that invested and might drag the process a lot, so there's just so much hard work you can do: it's almost like a lottery anytime a new client appears) Not having to source candidates from other platforms is great, but it means that the database of candidates might be limited, so sometimes you have a really strong finalist candidate that gets hired by another company, through another recruiter - which, of course, is great for the candidate, but not so much if you're after your comission or want to achieve your monthly hiring goal Sometimes, some people from the sales team focus too much on getting new client companies abroad and might leave some important steps of the selection process behind. Also, some of those clients might not be too committed on hiring someone from abroad and we have to put a lot of hard work on engaging the clients Our online platform might get buggy or really slow at times which can be annoying given it's our main working tool, however we have a tech team that works hard and is always available to solve these issues
