Recruitment is a cut-throat industry. They hire naive, fresh grads, and take advantage of them. Low pay, long hours, impossible promotion criteria. Very mentally draining to see all of my peers outside of this field be promoted while you can be stuck in this job over a year in and 0% closer to promotion. They do not value you as an independent person. You are truly a cog in the machine. At this firm specifically, management looks out for their own self interests, takes credit for others work, and plays favorites. I would specifically steer clear if you are a woman -- the management at this firm highly favors the men at this job! Be prepared for constantly being told 'no' by clients. It can be mentally draining and is a huge part of why the turnover rate is so high in recruitment. During my time here (less than a year) I saw 13 people leave.
