Pros

You have the ability to quickly build a network of talent and connections within the NYC startup space You can learn the basics about recruiting Free Lunch once a week Cool office

Cons

Where to begin, SingleSprout is in the business of pitching companies to candidates and as such they've become incredibly good at selling a vision for their own company that just doesn't exist. The volume of turnover is incredible and there are only a handful of employees who have been with the company for more than a year. Do a quick search on Linkedin and you will find that the number of former employees far surpasses the number of people currently employed. Your work serves no purpose other than lining the pockets of the founders who create a borderline unhealthy working environment by constantly trying to pit employees against each other and creating a culture of fear. They create a fantasy that this is a dream job and if you don't work hard enough theres a line of people out the door who will take your spot. The only thing that matters is how much money you bring into the company and they shame people who are not willing to give up your days, nights, and weekends. In the past whenever negative reviews have popped up on this site there is a suspicous suddent burst of positive feedback that can only be attributed to certain higher ups terrified at the word getting out about how miserable of an environment this place is. Don't just take my word for it, if you are considering a job at SingleSprout do your research. Reach out to former employees and get the real story

Pros

Pay is fair that’s about it

Cons

The company's culture has drastically changed. They no longer value their employees; their sole focus is on generating revenue. While it's understandable for a recruiting firm to prioritize financial success, it seems that even if you are a top performer, you’re merely a number to them, and they’re ready to let you go at any moment. Many long-term employees, some with over five years at the company, have left due to this cultural shift. The company has been forcing employees who live hours away to come into the office with no flexibility or consideration for their situation, seemingly as a tactic to push people out. This policy has affected even those who have consistently performed well and contributed significantly to the company’s success. The work environment now feels akin to a call center, with an emphasis on quantity over quality. It's become a numbers game—throwing candidates at numerous companies in hopes that one will succeed—and internal competition is fierce, with colleagues competing intensely and even poaching each other’s candidates within a 24-hour period. It’s disheartening to witness such a decline in company culture and to see how things have deteriorated.

Unfortunately, this individual chose to quit and is making conjectures about unrelated employees being "let go". Like the majority of companies, we've evolved to a mostly in-person culture. We have made an effort to work with employees who originally worked remotely. They’ve been grandfathered in, and continue to mostly work remotely. We've ensured they are accommodated financially (i.e gas, fast track reimbursement) with unique onsite flexibility. We’ve been transparent and upfront about these gradual changes, and we continue to be open with potential hires about in-office expectations. It's important for employees that can commute to the office to work in person so they receive support, are integrated with the team, and receive adequate resources to be successful.
