iPlace Reviews

I am very sorry, but your view of how our senior management operates is far from accurate. Perhaps as someone who has been with the company less than a year, you may not have the historical perspective of many of our experienced employees. In January 2017, we reorganized senior management responsibilities to ensure better performance for our clients as well as support our employees with improved training and new benefits. The new benefits include automatic salary increases and promotions based on achieving weekly performance goals. We are not aware of any other company in India that puts compensation and promotions directly within the control of its employees. We also expanded into several new business ventures that have a high growth potential. Many of the heads of these ventures have histories in the company, some having worked in several positions across the organization. You may not understand the depth of experience some of these individuals have. To you, it could look like they were specially picked instead of having earned their positions, but they have certainly earned their positions over the years through their hard work and dedication.

As for LaunchPad, if your team cleared the line, your wing would have split into two with two new Captains named. Your old Captain would have automatically been made a Team Lead within 45 days. Your new Team Lead would then have two wings that need to clear the line. For the rest of the team to move up, you may be waiting for the other wing to clear that line as well, making your new Team Lead into a Manager. Please review the LaunchPad rules on the intranet for more details on how the program works. It has been an excellent business model for managing a company that is adding between 30 and 40 new employees each month to keep up with client demand.

I am also sorry that you felt that you could not reach out to the senior staff. Our success depends on making our clients and employees successful. We are all about sharing knowledge and supporting each other. Feel free to come up to the CSO or CFO. We are available across both shifts just for that purpose. Please reach out and we will be happy to help you.... MoreLess

Thank you for the positive review. We are always looking for ways to improve, so please share your thoughts and ideas through our iMakeaDifference program on the intranet. Cheers.

Thanks so much for your positive review. :-)

Thank you for your feedback. Working night shift is a decision you made when you accepted the position. We try, during our interview process, to detail the realities of working a night shift and expect our candidates to think carefully as to whether that shift works for them. We have a number of employees who have worked this shift for several years, are married and raising children as well. Some fathers on the night shift say that they actually get more quality time with their kids than if they were working a traditional work schedule.

As to professional development, every entry-level sourcer and recruiter is required to complete our acclaimed iPlace Academy that covers US culture, the US staffing industry, US labor compliance, job boards and other sourcing topics, interviewing, full lifecycle recruiting, and so much more. We also have a great iLead Leadership Development Program that just completed its second cycle. We will be opening up applications for the next cycle by the end of this quarter. There are also plans in place to conduct monthly open enrollment courses on advanced topics for all of our employees. This should also start in Q2 of 2017.

As to hierarchy, there isn't much of one here at iPlace. LaunchPad is built to ensure fair measurement across all different business models, so as long as you are generating even a minimum of one placement each month, you will quickly move up, regardless of the size of your existing team. For smaller teams, your score is doubled or tripled to ensure your team's performance is compared equally to every other team. Also, we never consider any of our clients as difficult clients, only ones who have not yet understood how we can create value and make more money for them by openly sharing our ideas. Yes, some are more challenging than others, but we try to think of them as opportunities to share our knowledge and help them become more successful. If you feel that your client is "difficult", please see your supervisor - they may have suggestions on ways you can maximize profits for your client. That way, they can become more successful, and so will you. :-)... MoreLess

Thank you so much for your positive feedback. Cabs are always an issue. If employees want to double their cabs costs, we could certainly add cabs, but each empty seat costs money. (Personally, since I work a split-shift and do not share my cab, I pay the whole thing in entirely by myself!). Our Shared Services staff work very hard to arrange the shortest travel routes possible with the maximum number of people in the seats to keep your costs down. One other thing to consider is to arrange your own transport. There are many options, from carpooling with someone coming from your local area, Uber or or other ride-sharing services, or simply drive yourself. You do get a fuel allowance as part of your pay package. The cabs are not mandatory for you to use, but are meant to be a convenience. Use if you like or seek alternative options.... MoreLess

Thank you for your feedback. As a current employee, please come and see me. It can be a confidential conversation just between us. I would like to learn more about what you consider bad targets and incentives as you give little information order for me to help you understand the business. We pay the highest placements incentives in India and targets are typically agreed upon by our leadership in accordance with our clients' goals. -- Jeanne... MoreLess
