Hivewyre Response
10yThis review failed to mention the company’s torture chamber.
We’ve done a couple of other responses regarding the transition the company has gone through. We feel it’s always important to provide transparency into our company, our performance and the decisions we make. If you’re interested, please read those to understand the company’s perspective.
We make no apologies for only wanting A-players to be part of our team. We offer a flexible environment where you can set your own schedule and vacation time is not tracked. It takes a specific kind of personality that can self-motivate with that level of freedom. It’s true, our targets are aggressive, but they’re also doable. That said, while hitting your targets is obviously the goal of any team member we bring on, we are not a house of monsters (contrary to the reviewers post)! If you’re not hitting your goals but are showing the ability to self-motivate, build a proper pipeline and have an excellent work ethic, you will be given the time to succeed.
o Since our recent changes, we’re happy to report the following:
o Freedom to do your job the way you see fit. One of, if not, the most important aspects to happiness is having autonomy in the workplace. We haven’t lost a team member that wasn’t asked to leave.
o Last month we were at 125% of our budget and anticipate similar results going forward. See our recent posts on this and check for future posts as we are as transparent as possible with our performance.
o We are hiring contrary to this post. We have approximately 8 positions open now and we anticipate starting a third sales team very soon. We have implemented new practices with our hiring with the goal of ensuring team members we bring on board are a fit.
o We are not in the process of selling the company and our founder does not have a history of downsizing in order to sell. In fact, when his last company was acquired we had an aggressive hiring schedule. This market does not reward cutting expenses to increase the bottom line, it rewards growth.
o We have increased salaries for sales positions across the board. Income levels for our team members have also increased significantly. If you’re interested in making 6 figures, you’re welcome to interview and talk to our team members who are hitting this mark and learn how they do it.
o We are a profitable company and will continue to be, even with the hiring schedule we have.
We’re passionate about our product and the value we provide our clients. Our core team is excited about welcoming new team members who have a passion and drive to meet and exceed their own personal goals…We just make sure we keep the torture chamber hidden for the first couple of weeks ☺
