Don't allow the Hiring Managers or Recruiters to 'woo' you with tales of a "fast growing, 15-year-old startup". Recruiting.com was launched out of desperation, nothing more than a reincarnation of another failing company, Jobing.com (who cut their dedicated sales team late in 2015 - it is now all ecommerce). The existing sales reps were transitioned to other teams. The company has hovered between 50-60 employees for the last 3 years, unable to gain traction due to the company's resistance to embrace change in response to data and feedback from current or previous employees. Unfortunately, an organization of such small size is subject to the will of the CEO. He has a stronghold on every minute detail. His impact is pervasive and fosters an environment of intimidation and fear. Aaron gets away with behaving like an insolent child as there is no safe haven or HR team to report to. Additionally, this behavior is allowed due to the failings of middle and upper management, who refuse to stand up for what is right. For fear of retaliation, I was unable to disclose this information to a trusted source while I was employed. Below I've outlined examples of disturbing behavior I observed/was subjected to: -Physical Misconduct: At a company dinner, Aaron grabbed an employees arm during a heated discussion. -Verbal Intimidation: At the same event, Aaron told employees that their salaries were a waste of company money, questioning why he should be paying them. -Physical Intimidation: On two separate occasions, Aaron punched nearby structures when employees gave notice. -Discrimination: Aaron has made comments to/about homosexual employees regarding his negative feelings about their sexual orientation & lifestyle. -Discrimination: Aaron has made comments to myself and other employees about our age & marital status and his negative opinions regarding the two. -Verbal intimidation: Aaron will use profanity, yelling and derogatory comments when dealing with the termination/resignation of employees. Hopefully the above information has illustrated my reasons for leaving and I do not stand alone. In my short time, I watched droves of employees (entry to VP-level) walk out the door. Read the reviews and listen to your gut. I chose to believe that the negative reviews were just disgruntled employees - I was wrong. *Note*: Jobing.com, Recruiting.com, Hire Story & Recruiting Ventures are all one company operating out of one office. Read the reviews on them as well.

Pros

Everyone is willing to take on any task no matter their title or tenure. Truly a collaborative team environment.

Kontras

The only con (which I feel is not significant) is that workloads can be heavy at times since everyone does wear multiple hats.

Pros

Modern office setting, "start up" feel, great location Get to use latest technology, access to whatever tools you might need Unlimited vacation/sick time Free drinks and coffee are a nice touch Leadership training Ability to (mostly) make your own decisions and use best judgement Very little meetings Growth opportunities are there if you stick around, if not, it's a fair stepping stone to the next place

Kontras

No communication, everything is secretive, no transparency Since everyone (mostly) makes their own decisions, there is no general schedule of when things are needed or completed, no official project launches, etc. Leadership training is intense and isn't everyone's cup of tea (it's presented as optional), but if you decline you are singled out and treated differently. Even though there is unlimited PTO, the expectation is that you never use it. I was literally told to try and never take a vacation on my first day. Basically you are married to this place, and family/personal life comes second. CEO is not exactly approachable, have to choose your words very carefully. Turnover is very high
