Pros

remote policy is a pro.

Cons

the second the market shows any sign of a downturn, all "culture" goes out the window. no leadership/guidance/direction, it's all numbers. the way people talk and treat each other is awful. morale is super low and has been for over a year now. everyone is just a number to them and more than half of staff from a couple years ago are gone because they either quit or were fired. truly a sinking ship.

Hi- this is Matt (the CEO/Founder). I appreciate your feedback and am sorry to hear about your frustrations. It has been a challenging year within the recruiting industry. Hirewell has seen headwinds, just like corporate recruiting, and other search firms. We've had to make hard decisions as the market has slowed down. I've always prided myself on having an open-door policy - feel free to email me if you'd like to discuss this further. Our culture remains our top priority and we continue to do everything we can to maintain it.

Pros

From the interview process through onboarding and into the day-to-day, the company has been exactly what they presented themselves to be — a group of genuinely kind, supportive, and passionate people who care deeply about the work they do and about each other. It’s refreshing to join a company where the culture you hear about during interviews actually shows up in real life. The transition into the role has been incredibly smooth. The onboarding process was thoughtful and well-structured, which made it easy to ramp up quickly and feel confident jumping right in. I never felt like I was left to figure things out on my own — there’s a real sense of collaboration and willingness to help across the team. What stands out most is the people. Everyone brings a positive attitude, a strong work ethic, and a genuine desire to see their teammates succeed. It creates an environment where you feel supported, motivated, and excited to contribute. Overall, it’s been an amazing transition and I’m really grateful to be part of such a great team.

Cons

Approaching six months here, and I genuinely can’t think of any cons to share at this time.

Pros

- Good leadership and management, no micromanagers - Ability to scale: bring in jobs, and have the team help you fill - They make efforts to invest in technology and workflows for recruiters - Always something to work on, busy group - High Bar for Excellence - Great culture

Cons

- Success isn't handed to you here. You have to proactively seek out opportunities and be agile to get things done. There is no hand-holding, so it can be a sink or swim environment for those who aren't naturally proactive.
