Pros

I wouldn't say there is any!

Cons

I worked at TalentWorks International as a Senior Recruiter and had an absolutely horrendous experience. I feel compelled to warn others about the deeply problematic culture and practices within this company. The CEO's behavior was appalling. He consistently displayed misogynistic and bigoted attitudes, creating a hostile and uncomfortable work environment. This alone should be a massive red flag. The management team was equally detrimental. They operated through bullying tactics and demonstrated a complete disregard for employee wellbeing and mental health. There was zero support, and any concerns were met with dismissiveness or aggression. Furthermore, the company's business practices were unethical. They consistently overpromised clients, leading to inevitable under-delivery and damage to the company's reputation. I also witnessed questionable practices regarding invoices and employee pay, which raised serious concerns about financial integrity. In short, TalentWorks International is a toxic workplace that I would strongly advise anyone to avoid. The lack of respect for employees, coupled with unethical business practices, makes it an incredibly damaging environment to work in.

No real cons except the clients that TW supports can be a bit of a headache but it’s not a reflection of them.

Pros

You will work with some top clients who are great at their jobs.

Cons

In reading some of the other negative reviews, I feel like I could have written them. The bullying, the toxicity, the mean girl behavior. You will feel like you never left middle school. The US office is particularly awful and is run by management who have psychotic tendencies. Like to be bullied? Belittled? Talked about behind your back? Lied to? Yelled at? Do you appreciate constant passive aggression? Talent Works is the place for you. I have too many stories to share here, and the stories I heard from other employees after I got out were the stuff of nightmares. As others have said here, this job will be very, very bad for your mental health. When I left, management actually thought we could keep in touch and network. You burnt bridges with employees who went on to far better jobs at large enterprises, and you expect sales from that? Get a grip. The negative reviews are the real ones. Move on from any job here. In this market, there are plenty of better places to work.
