      Great place to recruit but could be better

      Pros

      - You are not micromanaged - You are given reasonable expectations - Big name clients - Leadership is committed to retention of employees - Remote with travel to HQ once or twice a year - Base pay plus generous commissions

      Cons

      - Depending on the team you are hired into, you could be very heavy on VMS or retail - You either work contract or direct hire, not both - Rarely get feedback for candidates from VMS accounts if they aren't hired - Company structure makes it hard to specialize, you work everything

      An experience with nothing bad to say about them.

      Pros

      never any pay issues. I was always paid on time and they always communicated Holidays and which of them are approved pto and not approved. Their payroll team I dealt with is top notch and if you ever are dealing with an issue within submitting your time they were always available via text and response time was always quick and they never failed. Very flexible working for them as a contractor.

      Cons

      having to do what they have to do after the pandemic and the amount of changes that I am sure they had to make within how they have to manage their contractors, it was never their fault. That's how their clients want it and they have to abide by it so I hold no ill will towards all of the accommodations/exemptions I had to submit. It was inconvenient to say the least but again, that's out of Ektello's control so they did what they had to do but at the end of the day my contract was never in danger so this is not an Ektello con but a client specific con.

      I can't imagine a better setting to work as an agency recruiter

      4 Mar 2022 - IT Recruiter

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Everyone is involved. The President of the company still works in Sales every day. 2. Healthy competition. The company is segmented in small teams, and we have regular competitions against the other teams or other individuals. 3. They embrace remote workers. They pivoted when COVID hit and there has been no mention of going to the office. They make remote work. 4. You aren't on an island. Your team of coworkers is communicating with you every day. But at the same time - you aren't micromanaged. 5. They compensate recruiters well. Competitive base + commissions. It is feasible to make 100K here. They also have annual reviews where your base salary is renegotiated.

      Cons

      1. No 401k option for recruiters that I am aware of. 2. Some teams have better clients/accounts than the others and that can cause some resentment

      Pros

      - The team at ektello is great and keeps in touch during assignment! - There's health insurance and PTO included in packages. (insurance a little too much $$$ w/ not so great coverage but it's offered I suppose) - I love the company I'm contracted to work with.

      Cons

      The big con I think is the lack of proper benefits, which I mean kind of comes with being contracted out to any company.
