Kontras
Since ending my employment with Gilmore Partners, I have thought long and hard about leaving a review. I wanted it to be truthful yet not too harsh, as this is a small company that does not have all the tools and resources at their disposal like larger companies in the financial district. You can tell that Andrew is passionate about his work, genuinely interested in his employees and brings a bright and cheerful feeling to the office. However, it seems as though he keeps recruiters in place at the company to generate revenue, no matter how damaging they can be to employee morale and culture. To be honest, this place was downright toxic the overwhelming majority of the time. Recruiters often had no rhyme or reason for the criticism they projected on fellow colleagues. Sure, tensions run high in such a competitive environment but the way that male employees looked down on and spoke to their female counterparts was downright misogynistic. Representation also suffers; there have been no female executive recruiters employed with this company on a full time basis in over two years.
