Terrible management and low pay

Pros

no pros working here .

Cons

-Unrealistic expectations when our team got reduced by 3 people and management still expected the rest of us to produce the same results causing us to be overworked -They pay way under industry average with benefits that barely covers anything . -There's more managers than recruiters - remember this is a RECRUITMENT agency. Turn over is so high that even a manager only lasted one month before calling it quits. Would not recommend anyone to work here, employees are overworked and undervalued.

Hi there! It is really unfortunate that you have this perception of your experience. We wish we had the opportunity to hear your feedback before your departure. At TalentWorld, Recruiters always have a clear understanding of their individual goals and we believe these align with industry standards. It is vitally important to us that we provide this type of transparency because we believe that clarity is kindness. We prioritize mapping a growth path with each of our team members so that they understand what skills are needed to get there. And then we work with them to ensure they get the experience or training they need. We are building something different at TalentWorld. It requires a different way of looking at the business. This new way of thinking isn’t for everyone. And we would never hold it against anyone for realizing that sooner rather than later. The exact opposite actually. Because we know how important the right fit is for both sides! If you are interested in continuing this conversation with our Associate Vice President, please email us at hiring@talentworld.com and we will find a time to make that happen.

Pros

Prior to the acquisition of the company, it was a amazing.

Cons

- There is no such thing as overtime/time off in lieu. If you work in excess of your contractually paid hours, you will not be paid for it nor will you be given time off in lieu. I asked the General Manager about time off in lieu and I was told "they do not believe in it". So I worked 50 - 60 hours some work weeks to make sure all that needed to get done, got done for their client. I never saw any of the time back. If I was a manager I could see how they would get away with that but I was not a manager. They had me in a position that should have been at least 2 people. But they took advantage and kept me alone doing the role until I quit. It wasn't until I gave my notice that they added a second person. - The ATS is a waste. The amount of wasted time because of how slow the system was or how click heavy. We has the perfect ATS for our business before the acquisition. Then we were forced to use Garda's which was nothing but a major downgrade. The training was barely training then we were thrown into it. Just for them to make an updated version of it a year later that required training that wasn't training once again. - I was on a pretty large team and not one of them are working there now. They either quit or got fired. Mostly the former. They even temporarily laid off a few of my colleagues near the beginning of the pandemic, and never brought them back to work. Some had been "temporarily" laid of for over 6 months with no communication from the company. Also, there was quite a but of turnover. - salaries are well below the average, and they go 50/50 on benefits. You will need to pay out of salary for the benefits package. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend working for this company.

TalentWorld recognizes the importance of a work-life balance. Because we know people are at their best when rested. And that is what we want for our talent community and clients. The nature of our business sometimes requires that we work outside 9-5. We recognize the pressure this can have, so we’re flexible with the schedule. We work with our team to accommodate on a case-by-case basis. Solutions range from a shorter workweek, lieu time, or perhaps even additional support. What we ask is that these conversations are had ahead of time. Change can be hard. That’s why we have a team dedicated to making change easier. This team offers group training, 1:1 training, weekly touchpoints to discuss questions and concerns, and complete toolkits to support self-directed learning. Gaps in your training would have been addressed had there been open communication of your challenges. Because ultimately the system is the system. And like all technology, it will always evolve. Transitioning from a small to medium business to a large global organization can be overwhelming. There is a lot of change happening around you – colleagues, systems, processes, etc. It is a strong leadership team that allows you to grow with the change. And we are always looking for opportunities to improve change management and address any gaps in our process. It is unfortunate that you didn’t feel you had the opportunity to have these conversations before your departure. We wish you all the very best in your career. Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We recognize that we cannot grow without it. If you are interested in continuing this conversation with our Associate Vice President, please email us at hiring@talentworld.com and we will find a time to make that happen.
