Think Twice - Recruiter Meliora Employee Review

Nice teammates, young team, helpful HR

Imagine working in a prison with minimum salary - exactly what you get. They will draw you with an "attractive" commission scheme to compensate you for a lower than market standard base salary but in truth the overall scheme is set to benefit themselves to the maximum. As mentioned by previous reviewers a lot of the issues stem from the 2 co-founders enforcing toxic rules and micromanagement. You'd imagine for a small start-up/recruitment to have work flexibility (WFH/hours) but instead you get monitored down to the minute - any lateness is highly frowned upon and they are sure they will let you know, this also applies to eating your lunch beyond the given 1 hour. Additionally, co-founders throughout will try to make it sound like they are very supportive/encouraging by emphasizing every single benefit or positive change they make - but in truth many of these changes are typical for any company out there, all just a way to brainwash you to think they are looking out for you. Avoid at all costs. If for any reason you'd want to work in a prison/military camp it'd be better to join that instead at least you'd have committed a worthy crime for it/become a decorated army officer.

Not that I’m aware of

Manipulative management of one of the founders. High turnover rates in his team out of multiple reasons. The core reason is him - distrusting his teammates and ignoring opinions that raised against him indeed objective. The team culture is toxic, nothing different from most of the recruitment agencies - insist on keeping staff to work long hours at office while you can do it at home online for all tasks mostly. If you look for mentorship and career development, don’t fall in such trap.
