Avantages
- It's a great place to start your career in recruiting. The more senior recruiters that are still there are very skilled and know the industry like the back of their hand - most of them are willing to take the time to help with recruiting techniques or just answer general industry questions. There are also weekly trainings that may seem tedious at times but are very helpful for newer recruiters to learn the ropes. - The people are great. It's a true "work hard, play hard" mentality. They have spirit days, happy hours and other get togethers to boost morale. I still consider many of the people friends even now after I left. It's important to like the people you're surrounded by on a daily basis, especially working a job that has highs and lows like recruiting. - Redbock has a good reputation in the industry and can be a good selling point when talking to candidates. Many agencies have made a bad name for all recruiters so it's nice to work for a company that has risen above that stigma. - The Managing Director is top class. Many of the senior employees who have had a lot of success are where they are because of what they have learned from him. As the company has grown, he has become a little more hands off, but his door is always open for those who need help.
Inconvénients
- Management runs a tight ship that can be seen as micromanaging. There is little flexibility when it comes to working from home or the hours that can be worked. KPI's are tracked and displayed on big screen TVs throughout the office. There is also a "professional" dress code even though clients never come into the office. - While it is a great place to start one's career, there is definitely a ceiling as well. There isn't a clear path for career growth. One can move on to be a Lead Recruiter but there aren't any other incentives or bonuses other than a title change. Their model has become a revolving door of college grads with some of the more senior recruiters leaving. - The CEO is very religious and is not afraid to bring his beliefs into the office. This can be a pro or con depending on who you ask but it did make people uncomfortable during my time there. - Management does ask it's employees to write reviews on here so I would recommend taking all current employee reviews with a grain of salt as they might not be truly anonymous.
