Pros

Good location in New Hampshire by the Seacoast. Good opportunity to gain some contacts in the business to use when you move on. Good entry level position for about 6 months.

Cons

Management counts your phone calls, emails, submittals and every hour that you work. Long work days. The real boss / owner runs the show while his manager enforces his rules. You're only as good as your last months performance. Extremely metric driven and behind the times when it comes to present day recruiting. No time to research new techniques to get in touch with people. Do as I say, not as I do mentality.

Digital Prospectors Response

We appreciate your feedback, and although we disagree with your ‘boiler room’ description of the in-house recruiting atmosphere, we agree that our competitive environment is not for everyone. In fact, it is not for most people. Agency recruiting is HARD. At its essence, recruiting is a sales job. It requires courage, smarts, creativity, hard work, determination, persistence and an unrelenting desire to succeed. Our recruiters have real goals, real expectations and real accountability. The payoff for those who have the heart and drive meet these goals and expectations is both professionally and financially rewarding. Yes, we are metrics driven, as are all successful sales organizations. However, most of our recruiters are able to meet their metrics in less than a 37 hour work week. We offer flex schedules, 100% company paid for health, dental, disability benefits, a 4% 401k match, tuition reimbursement, company paid gym membership and paid time to work out during the work day, monthly company parties, free vending machine with unlimited coffee, drinks and snacks, state-of-the-art work space, and we close at 3pm every Friday, and that is just scratching the surface of the benefits that go along with working here. We are growing, and we are hiring. If you are someone who is motivated and thrives in a competitive, hard work/ high reward environment, we’d love to hear from you!

Pros

Jaime Gunning and the team from Digital Prospectors were tremendous to work with throughout the entire process. Onboarding was a breeze and they took the time to keep in touch throughout my assignment and congratulated me on my eventual conversion to being a full-time employee with the company I was contracting at.

Cons

None come to mind after my experience with Digital Prospectors.

Pros

I’ve had a really great experience with Digital Prospect. Everyone has been so professional, helpful, and easy to work with, and they actually make you feel supported through the whole process instead of just treating you like another applicant. My recruiter, Christie Spencer, has honestly been amazing. She’s so caring, responsive, and always there whenever I have questions or need help with anything. She replies super quickly and always checks in to make sure everything is going well. You can tell she genuinely cares about the people she works with, which made a huge difference for me. Digital Prospect has made the entire experience smooth and stress-free, and I’m really thankful for all of their help and support. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for new opportunities, especially if you get the chance to work with Christie.

Cons

Cannot really find a con
