Epitec reviews about "people"

work environment was stressful, high turnover from people quitting and getting fired

Very low pay with little room for growth.

Being a nation-wide company, lots of team members work remote so you need to be self motivated. However, if you work in a non-office location were we have customers and field employees, Epitec encourages staff to get out and meet them frequently.

Poor, unhealthy, passive-aggressive, fear-based work culture that may minimally differ at a team level, but dominates company-wide. People ARE afraid of losing their jobs here. Favoritism is evident even when working remotely. Senior leadership at times can be inappropriate with comments and cussing. There is little to no professional development outside of the initial training period. You WILL be overworked. It does not matter when the work is slow or redundant (reworking orders numerous times), I found myself working 9-10 hours at times trying to meet numbers despite the pay. Micromanagement is prevalent company-wide. BIG emphasis on the inconsistency amongst account managers and how they support their recruiters. It may be important to consider, that they too may be overworked, but the disconnect is there. There's a large focus on candidate experience and management, but it doesn't translate. Personally, some things didn't align with me ethically, for example, stringing candidates along or normalizing white lies. Feel free to reference prior reviews that elaborate on this further. If a candidate doesn't accept an offer or changes their mind, you will take the fall for it and your screening and listening abilities will be questioned. Overall, numbers are all that they value and you're treated as such. Unrealistic expectations don't change despite limited sourcing resources and external factors like the economy or candidates changing their minds. Understandably it's business, but it's counter-intuitive for individual and team performance and morale. I made the mistake of ignoring the reviews before accepting my offer from the company and I'd highly recommend that you DON'T if you're considering working for Epitec. I hold the belief that there's always something to learn from our experiences, personally and professionally, and though this has been one of the worst professional experiences I've had, I fully understand now that no job is worth sacrificing your mental health for.

Growth is not biting off more than you can chew. The naive nature of their employees did not know how to deal with the clients we had when they took over. They were baffled that devise type of people exist in the world, some that are not nice and cozy, or PC. They would not listen to us, even people that were there for decades. Lucky for them its a corporate supplier deal, the client would have fired them. If it was executive level schmoozing and feel good awards, I can't see how they are a viable company

This is a hard working job, great for single people who are workaholics, but may not be the best environment for married/family oriented people-since the job is hard work and requires many hours outside of work (pay is salary NOT hourly). There are lots of different processes/components to recruiting that can get overwhelming. The reason why I left was because I was working more hours outside of normal working hours (7am-6pm). There were times I worked 7am to 2am up to the next day. This job is for people who enjoy a challenging and fast pace environment.

They’ll fire you within the year without any warning or support. I understand any job faces the hard decision of letting people go; but in the time I worked at Epitec, around 15 people were let go in less than 6 months. They expect you work extra time (unpaid) to meet your goals and if you still do that, you’ll get fired. People are very disposable to them in every sense; they lie to candidates and use them for their numbers. If you are hitting your calls, getting the people, they’ll still fire you. At the end of the day the only thing they care about is numbers, if you are trying everyday meeting your metrics but it’s not up to their liking you’ll be gone. If they want you to do something a certain way; they’ll twist your words to their liking. they’ll lie to get whatever they want which is, you guessed, numbers. If you work here, be constantly looking for a job and actively interviewing, they do not appreciate effort.

Their expectations for metrics jump quickly
