If You're a Recruiter, STAY AWAY! - Anonymous employee Celerity Employee Review

If you're being contacted for a recruiting opportunity at Celerity avoid it like the plague! Celerity does offer very attractive compensation plans for most of their recruiters however what they don't tell you is that it is nearly impossible to make a placement. Many of the reqs. that they are working on are long shots or proposal based....which you don't make commission on. On top of that Celerity really struggles with their identity. They like to claim that they are a high end consulting firm focused on the "digital economy" (whatever that means) however almost all of their clients are just looking for them to sling bodies. Also they are using an ATS called JobDiva which is archaic and extremely difficult to source from. Don't count on being able to make any placements using that as your main source. Also some of the people I interacted with were down right hostile and very resistant to providing any kind of advice or assistance as to how to be successful. Combine all of that with hiring managers that view the recruiting department as a complete failure and you have the perfect combination to create a recruiting department that acts as a revolving door. Over the last 6 months one of the teams has seen 6 recruiters turn in their notice (not good considering the team is made up of 5 recruiters).
