Pros

Remote work options. Some really amazing managers who have somehow survived. If you are working for one of them you are well cared for. But they can only do so much.

Cons

Veteran recruiters methodically happen to be laid off and then magically new jobs come open where they hire young cheap labor. Recruit U went from a training program for coordinators to move into recruiter roles with strong mentoring from vet recruiters to a method to replace the workforce to improve the bottom line.

Hi, this is Marissa Geist, COO. You should know that you made a difference in your time with Cielo – thank you. You really must have seen a lot from the founding a 20-person company to a global organization of today. We do have amazing people, and they are the reason we have had such growth… everyone from the seasoned employees that come with experience, as well as the new-to-talent acquisition professionals that join with an eye to a career here. Recruit U is one of our best ways to bridge experience with enthusiasm and talent to continue to drive success at Cielo, both personal and company. Just as it has always been, we rely on our most tenured people to be mentors to those who are just starting out with Cielo. I am sure you can remember when you joined and we basically had one role - Recruiter. As we continue to evolve with our clients and the industry, this has created new job roles and families and specialty areas that offer opportunity not only to career recruiters, but other experienced people as well. We ask our leaders to evolve with the industry, to create the best client team for the market conditions, and that often means a variety of roles to fully service the client. If our leaders need to make difficult decisions, they do not do so lightly. Thank you again for your time here, your experience and your voice. I am sure you felt an imprint on the success we have had, and wish you well in your next endeavor.

Pros

well established clients. Interesting projects; friendly coworkers

Cons

No bonus, no merit increase pay out over the last 4 years. They say they want to strenghten their customer relationships and allocate more to AI but this is the worst way to do it. If your team went above and beyond and secured continuing business the bare minimum is a small merit increase. Growth opportunities for high performing employees will bring you more business. There is nothing to look forward to aside from a paycheck and contract renewal every 6 months.
