They say you haven't made it until the fake Glassdoor reviews start flooding in
|
|
A wise man once said never to argue with fools, because people from a distance can't tell who is who. I very seldomly opt to get involved with mudslingers because, in the end, all parties, right or wrong, end up dirty. I'm not really bothered at all by fake reviews, but I'm pragmatic and understand that perception is reality.
But as a current full-time team member at HireKeep, I felt it important to address a recent review from an invidual who's no longer with the company (I know this because we are a small, close-knit team).
Let's align perception with reality, shall we?
Glassdoor's greatest strength is its greatest weakness: individuals can review anonymously without needing to verify current or past association - as such, there are very little barriers for individuals with malicious intent (who may or may not have dealt with a given company) seeking to destroy via libel. These are negative, brooding inviduals who relish in tearing others down. Worse, they could be desperate attempts from bad faith competitors to elevate themselves by tearing a superior rival down.
In either case, I, personally, don't understand the mentality. The name-calling, ad hominem slinging, and unsubstantiated claims don't amount to genuine criticism, but rather sour grapes - there is zero proof or evidence to back any of these bogus claims up.
Here's the truth: HireKeep is an amazing work environment cultivating an incredible culture that helps salespeople find incredible, high-paying jobs on literally a daily basis. It's a fast-paced, nimble, extremely progressive and fun startup. The CEO, Paul, is a passionate winner and leader who does all in his power to lift up his team of fellow winners and forward-thinkers. We win, celebrate one another's wins and elevate one another positively. We all work remotely and convene according to mutual convenience to work, break bread, or have fun together. Should we so choose, we all have the ability to walk away at any point and we'll have Paul's support. We are building something special, something we're quite proud of.
Yes, we are competitive and we go above and beyond to ensure our clients and partners are happy. Our goal is to become the best of the best in our field and, frankly, we like our chances. The future is extremely bright for us. And a couple laughable, slanderous, 100% false Glassdoor reviews can't change that.
Not even a little bit.

Still sorting out my tax situation for this year - I'm finding it difficult to track all this money I'm making.

you certainly get an experience you'll never forget...

no work from home, required to be in the office, forced to sign an NDA, everyone is a 1099, zero ethics, a black hole of culture, constant manipulation directly from the CEO, toxic work environment.

Great Opportunity, continues to get better
|
|
Working with the CEO Paul has allowed me to learn and grow every day. Paul is straight forward and doesn't waste time, he is dedicated to his clients and always goes the extra mile. The whole team is easy to communicate with and understanding. I am truly grateful for this opportunity and look forward to where it will take me!

The worst kind of startup culture
|
|
Startups are fun. Would've been better if this one was run well.
|
The worst kind of startup culture. Before hiring a woman the employees would pass her social media profiles around to be rated on attractiveness first. One time a highly qualified woman was passed on because she was "kinda chubs." If you're not a frat boy and yes man, they don't want you and you know it. Your opportunities come depending on how much the people above you like you, not how good you are at your job. People talked about each other behind their backs.
When I was there the CEO made everyone write fake Glassdoor reviews and reviewed them before they were posted. If every other review looks abnormally cheery - that's why. I was told by a couple of employees that the CEO stole money from them by withholding bonuses and heard he's intimidated others into taking less.

Great culture and growth opportunities
|
|
I learn every single day. The team is extremely close and even for a "startup" the goals are very clear and the structure allows me to excel. Yes, there is a lot of change and we pivot regularly, but a lot of it is for the better. The team cares about the clients, they care about the candidates they work with, they really want to make a difference. I have worked at startups before and many times - they build a business just to build a business. The gang here really wants to make an impact in the recruiting space and bring technology behind all the noise. Quarterly evaluations provide growth along with free education from sites like udemy and treehouse. Great office with regular happy hours. Leadership gets it and wants people to be happy and excited about what we are doing, putting some data behind the madness.
|
You have to put in the hours. Some later nights and weekend work, just to get stuff done and meet deadlines. Food and drinks are provided during those periods but there is definitely a sacrifice. Definitely still a young company so even though there is a level of structure, things are not necessarily departmentalized all the way.

All around awesome place to work. Doing some big things.
|
|
The whole team at HireKeep is really friendly. The workflow is really collaborative and it is really easy to communicate with the CEO and other co-workers. I'm always excited to go to work in the morning, but a few days after I started we adopted a company puppy which makes coming into work even more awesome. 3.5 weeks after I started working I got my first performance bonus!
|
This place has a startup work style. We all work hard and everyone here is seriously passionate about what we do. If you want to just 'put in your hours' then it would be a challenge to work here.

I started working at Hirekeep not having a great understanding of the problems as a company they were fixing in the world of employment. The CEO Paul has a clear vision about how to attack these problems and was able to effectively communicate it to me, which made my job of updating the website's front end much more simple. At Hirekeep, the team's best quality is the lack of ego. Everyone is always brainstorming ideas together and willing to listen to other team member's opinions. The hired chef the makes breakfast and lunch everyday makes me look forward to coming to work as well.

I have not experienced any cons in my time at Hirekeep.
