A good place to grow

Pros

Room for advancement. The company has a history of promoting from within. In fact, almost all senior executives started as entry-level recruiters and have worked their way up. RHI also is willing to invest in its people. I've had excellent trainings and opportunities for growth during my time there.

Cons

It's a company with very high standards. It's not for people who don't want to give 100 percent. People who aren't willing to work really hard can struggle. Also, the company tends to be conservative and traditional, especially by Bay Area standards. Suits are the typical attire for recruiters, and it may not be for people who are looking for a casual atmosphere.

Pros

Half provides some of the best training and decipline I have seen in the recruitment industry. It is also a place that rewards production and has the resources to help you succeed. They have the best recruitment tools and also undertsnad that the company fails if the people pounding the calls are hampered with IT issues. They prove technologies prior to ever rolling them out to the field.

Cons

Management could take responsibilities for their decision in changing territiories and how that affects production. Especially those that had a proven history of exceeding quota. Not all territories are equal so having the same quote company wide is not fair to certain territories. They could also respect the staff a little more than treating them as if they can be replaced. They would triple growth if they understood tenure of staff is key.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great place to learn all aspects of the staffing industry, company has a good reputation and constantly looks for ways to improve their processes. Excellent career path for those that drink the KoolAid and like it, excellent compensation plan, sales tracking, and protected territories and target lists, and excellent benefits and time off policy.

Cons

Serious disconnect between corporate and field (branch) offices, management plays favorites and loyalities are volatile. Executives are remote, seldom if ever seen at the branch level. Highly regimented sales and recruiting processes. Sometimes make decisions in a reactive rather than proactive manner. Branch offices are often last to know about policies or incentives directly impacting branch employees.
