Workplace Culture & Environment:
- Predominantly a boys’ club, where women are only respected if they generate revenue for the company. Observed instances of women being spoken to poorly, while men received more professional treatment.
- Lack of real-time support and training—if you’re not billing, you face negative consequences rather than proactive coaching from management.
- Bullying behaviour is ignored; management offers lip service but fails to take real action.
- Minimal support for those with little recruitment experience. Expect to self-teach most of your role. Training sessions consist of surface-level discussions rather than practical learning.
- Leadership promotions are based on revenue generation rather than actual leadership ability. There’s a critical need for emotional intelligence and resilience training.
Management & HR:
- No HR support—potentially by design, as it allows management to continue unethical treatment of both candidates and colleagues unchecked.
- Extremely low salary, close to minimum wage.
- Toxic workplace culture starts at the top with the CEO, creating a high-stress environment that filters down to senior management, who appear visibly unhappy.
- Unproductive activities like weekly quizzes are framed as “business development.”
Upon leaving, I provided honest feedback but encountered zero accountability. Meaningful change is unlikely unless management reflects on their approach.
Extremely high staff turnover—I strongly recommend seeking employment elsewhere.
