      Pros

      Work Remote and a nice headset!

      Cons

      First off-Please make note that the "positive" reviews are asked to be posted by interns. To give a company praise, should not be a requested by people who are just entering the workforce and don't know any better. That doesn't reflect the true company culture. (This is a fact!) Being in the recruitment industry for years, this experience has been a true disappointment. This company is so driven by the dollar, that they disregard what makes recruiting great-the client relations and long lasting accounts. They overwork their employees with very little incentive. (Minimal commission) This has hindered my career growth by accepting this opportunity. Work/life balance does not exist because you have to make up for the lack of tenured employees, who realize this is the wrong company to be a part of.

      Thank you for taking the time to share this information with us. We value all of our Glassdoor reviews, and find this information valuable in order to continue growing and improving as an organization. We agree that forcing staff to give “positive” reviews is unethical. We do encourage all of our staff to get involved in reviewing WilsonHCG on Glassdoor, but have been very careful as to not force positive reviews. Constructive criticism can be valuable as well! I am sorry to hear that you’ve had a negative experience at WilsonHCG. We are a goal-driven organization, and like most recruitment agencies, we function around measurable targets. I would encourage you to talk to your manager directly about some of the challenges you are facing and your hours of work. As a team we can always work together to help each other become more efficient in meeting our targets. Again, we value your opinion!

      Pros

      - Working from home - The other Recruiters on the Account were awesome to work with, great personalities and always willing to help - John Wilson (CEO) Really cares about this company being great and trying to take it to the next level, I personally think they need to get the wrong people off the bus and get the right people on the bus as well as assess people getting in the right opportunity/account

      Cons

      - No merit increases, you have to track and then submit to Leadership for increase - This is 10000% a Staffing Agency, they put a fancy word like RPO on it but ultimately it is high volume recruitment. - Expectations they want you to have 100-150 new outreach a week, I repeat, new outreach - this means finding new people to put in the ATS. They do not care about quality candidates - Some locations are much easier than others, but Leadership does not care, they put the same metrics on all reacruiters. 100- 150 outreach, 10 submits a week, hiring goals per month range between 6-15 a month. - Be ready to run a full desk, TAC helps where they can but be ready to do admin work as well - Leadership could be improved, didn't feel like a valued employee but rather just a number.

      Hi there, thank you for taking the time to write this review and share your experiences. I’m very sorry to hear that your experience hasn’t been positive. As a business, we do our best to ensure we are providing the best service possible to our clients. I completely agree with you that the recruitment process should be about working “smarter” rather than “harder” and, if you are able to generate high quality candidates without outreaching to hundreds of candidates, then of course that is what you should do! The only challenge with doing this is that every client is different. Some clients want to see the volume of activity, whereas others want to see the quality of activity. This is always a challenge because different clients also have different levels of recruitment experience. Dependent upon what experience they have had can impact their expectations from an external provider. It can take a while to educate around and have the client truly understand what a recruitment partnership is. Although I am sure you are doing what is necessary at your level, it may be that more senior stakeholders are putting the pressure on your managers. Have you discussed this with your management at all? A lot of our managers are very transparent and will share details should the employee ask them. With regards to merit increases, we have developed what we feel allows everyone to take ownership over their progression and career advancement. These are aligned with our DNA and require employees to demonstrate them in their day-to-day results. We feel that this allows our employees to control the salary increases rather than the company, and we have seen a number of employees do this multiple times over the past year alone. I want to apologize for the way you felt once speaking with your manager about internal opportunities. I can assure you that this would not have been the reason that you were terminated as we as a company fully support internal mobility and honest conversation. If this is genuinely how you feel, please reach out People & Culture at people.culture@wilsonhcg.com with additional thoughts and feedback. If you would also like to discuss any of this with me personally, please don’t hesitate to contact me at lauren.bullock@wilsonhcg.com. Many Thanks, Lauren Bullock, Global Internal Recruitment Consultant

      Pros

      Built a few great relationships with people inside the organization. Was able to work from home which was nice.

      Cons

      Where do I begin….I’m not going to spend the time writing about all the concerns everyone else has put down because it would just be repeating the same facts, which are 100% factual day to day occurrences at this company. I truly believe the CEO means what he says about employee engagement and recognition however, he does not stand by his commitment and there is no follow through which in turn is why you have unprofessional and vindictive executive leadership. You cannot expect to keep good people with morals and integrity when one of your head executive leaders installs fear in people and puts targets on their backs if you do not agree with what she says. Not to mention, you never know who you are going to get on the other end of the phone as each day comes with a different personality. That is just one example out of many executive leaders and managers but it trickles down hill. If executive leadership is showing managers that this is acceptable behavior, then they too will behave the same way towards their recruiters and sourcers. I left because the only good manager I had ended up leaving because of this. She had integrity and cared about her team. I could not work for any other manager as they are all horrible. It’s sad how the company has lost and continues to lose the good people and retains the bad ones.
