Pros

Unlimited vacation, ability to work from home, central office location

Cons

HireBetter is a recruiting agency ran by former accountants. They have no knowledge of recruitment and recently laid off about 50% of their staff. The layoffs included the majority of employees that actually had a background in recruiting - smart move. Fairly confident that the company is nothing more than a way for the CEO to ensure his investments do well, as a little research shows the majority of his clients are companies he has personally invested in.

Pros

Working under the leadership at HireBetter was enlightening. Even after leaving the company, I still share with others great examples of their leadership. I praise their authenticity, their drive to be - and help everyone else be - the best they can, and their willingness to listen to everyone on the team, regardless of seniority. Especially for a fully remote team, I found them to have an excellent culture, and truly practice what they preach: full transparency, working with grit and tenacity, having good team cohesiveness, and always working in true partnership with our clients. I found them to have fair wages for employees and to truly deliver the service as advertised to our customers. I saw the leadership team work through tough times and make tough decisions together, and I will always think very highly of them because of it.

Cons

As with any remote, salaried position, you can easily allow yourself to overwork. The leadership team does not encourage it though you do have to be self-aware and step away from helping that client on the weekends in order to have balance. The industry is ever-changing! If you need consistency and change makes you nervous, this would be a tough place to work.

Pros

Pay was good, benefits good.

Cons

They let go of a whole department of recruiters and sourcers just to rehire them and outsource for lower cost.
