Worst Recruitment Agency for anyone

Business Outlook

Pros

Global company branding, some genuine colleagues.

Cons

Ancient ATS system to track your productivity, zero training (unlike competitor agencies that provide quarterly BD / sourcing strategy training / systems training), Inefficient HR that fails to leverage on system to streamline processes and very weak industry knowledge , ZERO care to employees and required to report to office daily despite Covid restrictions (using audit as an excuse). Constantly obsess with recruitment awards when marketing should be focused on branding company for internal employees and not just clients.

Used to be the best staffing firm in the world, but failed to properly manage company-owned branch offices in the USA.

Business Outlook

Pros

60 years of expertise in the industry, used to be a major innovator in large scale staffing services. Had excellent resources. Used to have first rate training programs. Used to hire the best people in the industry. Has been run by three very smart CEOs. Has one of the very few universally recognized brand names in the staffing industry. Has a very impressive foot hold in many countries outside of North America.

Cons

The CEO was too busy on long range global projects to mind the store with the USA branch operations. Franchise operations, which operate on several continents had management teams that were much more accountable, produced revenue consistently. But the corporate-owned branch operations in the USA were, for many years, crippled by teams of inept senior managers who weren't fired fast enough, causing the massive loss of their best talent. A corporate culture that demanded deference to anyone with a Director or higher title guaranteed that the complacent stayed in charge. Although in recent years, the corporation made changes, throwing out some of the worst managers, the damage was done, with market share within the USA markedly reduced.

Pros

The benifits are great. The local management is wonderful. They treat the client and contingent workforce with respect .

Cons

Director level and above is broken, they seem to be insecure, unclear on direction (a bit A.D.D.) and they seem to fear job loss.
