Great Company and Great People - Senior Recruiter ContractRecruiter.com Employee Review

I have always liked my job as it's part of my day. After getting hired by CR, I, for the first time ever, am loving my job. I wake up every day excited to find the best candidates for my clients. The communication in the team is just amazing! Whenever anyone needs help, we meet, think, and brainstorm together to find the best solutions. Working 100% remotely is one of the biggest pros, the flexibility is amazing.

You might get a gap between clients. Sometimes it's a couple of days sometimes it's a couple of weeks, which is understandable. As long as CR has clients, we have jobs :) For me, this is the best option I could ever ask for. No PTO which is, as far as I know, something the management is working on.

Very good leadership and excellent recruiting tools. As long as you produce and keep the clients happy (they use the RPO model), they leave you alone and let you manage your desk. Definitely one of the best virtual teams I have worked on in a while. We have weekly calls and you would think we all work down the hall from each other (most of us have never met in person!). Andy, the owner, is always looking for the next best thing in recruiting technology. He listens to his employees and takes their ideas (and criticisms) seriously. They are VERY honest with their clients. They respect work-life balance - rare is the time I log on in the morning and have after-hours emails from colleagues/management (quite refreshing!).

There was some micro-management in the beginning, but looking back, it was only due to the fact that you are working virtually. Once you pass that hump and earn their trust, they give you as much responsibility as you can handle and let you run your own desk. If you are looking for benefits/401k, etc., this may not be the place for you. This is a consulting gig that is quite fulfilling.
