It's the real deal - Anonymous employee RockIT Recruiting Employee Review

I spent over 2 years at RockIT and was able to take advantage of my surroundings and what they have to offer. Some things I really enjoyed was being able to work with so many of the hottest and coolest startups in the Bay Area. Having a working relationship with CEO's and CTO's that have had a number of successful exits was an experience that is hard to top. Some other things I really enjoyed: 1). Having a closer relationship with my clients than other recruiting agencies 2). The ability to be able to travel all over the world for tech conferences (if you hit your goal) 3). Autonomy to work how you feel best suits your work style. There is no micromanagement here 4). Close relationship with the founders and team leaders...At the end of the day you get out what you put in.

The agency recruiting life is not made for everyone. It requires hard work, long hours, and a thick skin.

- The founders have massive networks in tech which keeps the client pipeline consistently strong. New clients and new roles come every week. It's gonna keep you super busy! And you make good money from it:-) - A great place to learn recruiting fundamentals. The company invests a lot in training, tech conferences, and networking events. It's a healthy environment with tons of resources for individuals to grow. - Very different from the 'recruiting agency' you usually would imagine, people are NOT intense at all and the office is quite relaxing. The pressure is always from yourself (when you don't perform well...), and your mentors will for sure help you do better as long as you are motivated and willing to try.

- I really liked the people I worked with at RockIT, but the company culture was a bit too 'young' to me at the end of the day. It's definitely a fun place for juniors to 'work hard, play hard' together though. - Too many team managers/partners. For a small size company like RockIT it is absolutely unnecessary. In addition, some of them are not quite qualified in my opinion. - I wish across the board members and founders could have had more transparent communications without the manager layer. I personally did a lot which helped me stay motivated and happy.
