Hire Velocity

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working remote and laptop provided. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management. The company fabricates numbers to keep clients but when the client realizes, they terminate leaving employees without a job. There is no PTO bank. They promote anyone. Several payroll issues. Never get credit for referrals unless you complain. Overall, the worst job I’ve ever had and I’ve worked in fast food. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
No integrity. Boys club. Men are highly paid even without experience. Profanity used in meetings. Managers only like people who comply with unethical practices. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Log in and attend a meeting 
Try to do your job, another meeting 
Try to take a break, another meeting 
They wonder why numbers are low but constantly have unnecessary meetings.

A typical day as a senior recruiter was standard (see below). I learned how to manage a team of seven, remotely, when I was promoted to a manager position. Management style was very much rooted in micro-management due to being a staffing company that was dependent on results / metrics. There was often this culture of fear and mass lay offs one to three times a year, usually one major and one or two silent lay offs. The work life balance was pretty good as a senior recruiter, as they did not want you to work over time. As a salaried manager, I was constantly working 50+ hour work weeks. The hardest part of the job was dealing with the emotional aspect, never knowing if you were going to be laid off (even if you were meeting or exceeding your metrics.) The best part of being a manager was supporting my team, learning, and growing! 

John West has the best 'EQ' of any senior leader I've worked under. He's very invested in implementing training, professional development, and mentorship programs for employees at all levels within Hire Velocity. It doesn’t matter what position you start out in at Hire Velocity. If you show initiative and ambition, you’ll have opportunities to build the skills you need not only to advance within your department but also to expand into other fields, taking on leadership roles.

While John’s principled leadership is the core of what makes Hire Velocity a successful company, Marques Smith deserves so much credit for embracing these principles and putting them into practice on a day-to-day basis—which is what makes Hire Velocity not just a great company but also a great place to work.

I worked at Hire Velocity for 4 years, and it was truly a roller coaster of emotions. My team lead, "The Big M", often put our team in unreasonable situations and set unrealistic demands just to satisfy leadership. As a result, our work life balance suffered greatly. I often felt like I couldn’t be myself because navigating office politics became necessary just to keep my job. Every few months, employees were laid off due to so called “lack of work” or budget cuts. The hardest part of this role was constantly trying to meet their demands. In the end, I burned out just as many others at the company eventually did. If I were you look for another company that is not Hire Velocity.


Worst company I have worked for in my entire career.  Lacks professionalism and upper management enjoys talking about people behind their back.  Office politics and it goes on from there. Sadly, Hire Velocity will never make it to a Tier 1 and with the big dogs in the Bakers Dozen. When considering someone to help with your hiring needs please review others before doing business with these people.  If you are looking for a career, keep looking.  The intention is to make money not to see employees grow their career.

Hire Velocity invest time training and developing the best team! The company has continued to grow significantly across the past few years! The company offers paid holidays, employee benefits, and incredible earning potential. If you are looking for somewhere to get your foot in the door because you feel like you cannot grow where you are, this is where you should be. There is so much room for advancement and great earning potential! 

Restructuring again?  Laying people off saying lack of work, but you're growing like a weed? Which is it?!?  If you are looking for a company to do your recruiting, keep looking.  If you are looking for a long career, hit the next button and apply for another company.  This place restructures every 2 years.  

Look deeper into upper management before you hire them.  Consider promoting your Director of Strategic Development and your longest running Client Delivery Manager.   Both are smart and have in mind the company growth, not just their pocketbook like the others.

This company is a complete joke! You are given unrealistic goals to achieve and a Team Lead that doesn't have your best interest at heart. They hire a load of people weekly but turn around and fire people on a daily basis. They promote unqualified people who are not fit to be in the positions they hold! And they base promotions on favoritism and who fudges the most numbers. No recruiters at this company has been there for more than 2 years and it is because of the unprofessional, unorganized and lack of competency from upper management. Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time!!!!!! 

It looks like the office is closing-HV has lost major contracts.

Your experience depends on what manager you work under.Some are really cool depending on your productivity and some micromanage to death. Many of the upper management are either related or former co-workers/friends.

I was a contract recruiter there for 6 months and saw 13 people get let go or quit. Most of the contractors are paid lower than industry standard.

I am very disappointed with the way I left this company. It was very underhanded and sneaky. Cannot trust the co-workers. Hearsay and gossip is taken as fact by management without any proof or investigation. Very nasty and incompetent people promoted to lead positions. The office politics is disgusting. Overall, leaving this company has been a blessing and my mental health has benefitted from not being such a toxic work environment. Also, absolutely no job security unless you are one of the people related to management. Seek employment elsewhere.
