Adaptive Solutions Group Reviews

Upper management felt very separate from the rest of the company. I can admit my weaknesses, and I was let go because I was not meeting my sales goals. I know now and can recognize that sales is not my strongest skill. However, as a new college grad with zero sales experience going into it, I felt that I was not supported and encouraged to grow as a salesperson or given any tools to improve. I was simply told I wasn't meeting my goals and I needed to work more, harder, and longer to catch up. There is VERY much a culture of "If you want to do well in this business, you're going to have to get used to working well over 40 hours a week." I was also very much thrown off by the lack of diversity in the company. When I left, there was not one employee that was not white.

I’m utilizing this space to highlight some easy to fix issues that, if addressed, I believe would lead to longer tenures with the company. Commission - The tiered levels are convoluted and frankly just too lean. Especially considering how much time and energy goes into each placement. Great segue into my next topic. The Process - this is actually both a pro and a con. There’s multiple, in depth conversations/meetings with each candidate so you do really get to know them which is important when offering career advice and presenting them to clients. BUT the process is so drawn out that a lot of time is wasted when the same sequence of events needs to happen with every single person you attempt to submit. Plus, clients want to see their options quickly and will likely have a multi-step process of their own. The relationship building is great when you get that candidate a placement or get them multiple interviews with different companies which hopefully leads to a placement at some point. Prioritization of Job reqs/Clients - this is an evolving issue that I did see management working toward a clearer stance. I think a look at how companies are hiring today will illustrate where to place prioritization.
