      Pros

      -Worked here for over 2 years and it jump started a career. (Working with a CEO who has a reputation as being difficult, can open doors with other employers ) -Company involved in community -Work with some great companies -If you work hard you will see raises and promotions (at the cost of work/life balance, though. Be prepared for significant overtime with no recognition. Averaged 12 hour days)

      Cons

      -Cofounders do not discuss ideas together, creating confusion and employees get caught in the cross hairs of disagreements; they lack accountability -Micromanage team -If you're good, you will be expected to carry the weight of the rest of the team -Turnover is high (>9mths average tenure); constant scrambling to redistribute work but haven't solved for this problem (have lots of exit interview data on issues but won't take the accountability to solve for the issue like work/life balance and unrealistic workload)

      Thank you for taking the time to write this review. Firstly, we believe we are building the next generation of talent acquisition leaders so it's great to be recognized for that. More importantly, while it is hard to read your feedback without taking things too personally, it is appreciated. We are listening. We have made a number of positive changes over the past 10 months to address workload - including adding company-wide, paid Wellness Days off and adding more people to the team. We have also promoted people into Manager positions and added a new Director and now, with the right people on the proverbial ‘bus’, as founders, we have been able to get out of the way and scale more effectively. We'll keep listening and striving to build the best company we can.

      Left me traumatized and kept me out of recruiting for a while

      Pros

      -dog friendly office -exposure to interesting companies

      Cons

      -founders are extremely difficult to work with. Everything is your fault and we are supposed to bend over backwards to keep the client happy even when it’s not possible. Once the founder berated me for not having candidates already for a role that was fulfilled and reopen in less than a day. I started in the role wanting to do well in it but was quickly demotivated by all this. -high turnovers. almost 100% turnover in one year. The morale is low at all times and the staff regularly get together to vent about the state of the company and its leadership. More than a couple occasions, I have witnessed coworkers crying due to the stress/demands I lasted as long as I could but this experience have left me traumatized and for a while I had to take a break from working just to regain my confidence and work through my anxiety. I wish I could go back and stop myself from ever joining this company.

      As the CEO and Co-founder of TalentMinded this is a very tough review to read. I'm disappointed to learn that TalentMinded was not a good fit and that you experienced stress and anxiety during your time here. We are committed to elevating talent acquisition through our programs like the Coaching Portal, the Next Generation TA Meetup group and other initiatives like the Recruiter Bootcamp that we hope to launch in 2022. We also keep our 'virtual' doors open and consistently solicit feedback from our people to keep improving the employee experience. Most importantly, we do not condone gossip and value transparency at all times - when things are going well and when there are challenges. I would personally welcome the opportunity to connect on how you felt about your work experience if you were willing/open - kim@talentminded.ca or 416-587-1283.
