Pros

Easy to use platform. Relatively good communication with internal Reps

Cons

I was a recruiter for several years previously in the medical field, after having a child, I was looking for a position I could work out of my home. Unfortunately a virtual recruiter at Relode is not it. After 6 months, have had enough. Apparently they now have about 950 TA’s talent associates, as any one who has done any level of recruiting, would know, its mandatory to have a relationship with the client. At Relode you wont ever. You will not ever speak to the client or be able to promote your carefully sourced candidate to them. The jobs for the most part feature clients who at best have a vague interest in paying a recruiter and aggressively solicit and list their jobs with multiple others agencies at the same time. Often times the clients aggressively hire on their own. You will send your care fully prepped candidate into to Relode and then wait, and wait and wait, usually the job closes- job filled by client themselves. Or after several weeks the job will be closed as the staff at Relode got frustrated and closed the job as the client was a poor communicator. Often times the jobs are like a game of wack a mole, Jobs opening and closing and opening and closing again. They also feature the lowest commissions, I have ever seen for a experienced recruiter right about 2%, after a time I figured out they really don’t have experienced full time recruiters making money, most of the TA’s make a few dollars a month referring their friends and leads. Try to find someone who has been there several years working as a virtual recruiter full time. I have tried Stop promoting the job, as a valid recruiting position. 950 Virtual recruiters filling the jobs makes it “virtually” impossible to make a living at it

Thank you for sharing your experience with Relode as a virtual recruiter, and providing feedback to our team. As you mentioned we do have a virtual community of over 900 Talent Advisors on our platform varying in levels of time and effort they spend in Relode, actively recruiting as we do not require a certain amount of hours or hires to use our system. Our mission is to change the traditional staffing model, and one of the ways we do this is having an in-house team of Account Executive's whose exclusive job is to manage client relationships and help our virtual recruiters make hires with those clients. We apologize if there was any confusion as a virtual recruiter with Relode that you would be actively managing the clients in our platform. We would be happy to speak further to help address your specific concerns and experience with Relode, you can reach our support team by emailing support@relode.com or giving us a call directly at 844-773-5633.
