Nakupuna Companies

This company loves to micromanage its Recruiters. Even though this company is low pay as an experienced Recruiter coming in & starting at $75k salary. The "senior recruiters" that have been there since early stage only have 3-4 years of experience but they love to micromanage the new recruiters that come in with more experience than them. Senior Recruiters that have been at this company a long time also get away with everything & mistakes they make but they blame the new recruiters for every mistake that they make. And fire new recruiters if they make a minor mistake without putting anyone on a performance plan or speaking with them by going over minor mistakes. They also play favoritism, my last 4 hires I had done that I actually sourced on job boards were never announced or celebrated like they do with other recruiters on the team. They celebrated certain people and totally ignore other people in the team’s hard work. We’ve all noticed it a couple of times. Favoritism and toxic work environment is what you will get at the Recruiting Team here.

They make you type up Be Right Back and inform everyone on your Microsoft team’s chat when you are taking a lunch break or stepping away from your desk. Even if it’s for 5-15 minutes away from your desk. So ALL DAY every day M-F you are getting Microsoft Teams chat going ping ping ping all day with “brb grabbing a coffee” “brb getting lunch” “brb making a smoothie” “brb restarting my computer” “brb getting an energy drink” and BRB, BRB and etc. Because god forbid you are not responsible enough as an adult/employee to take your lunch break or step away from your desk for a few minutes without having to notify anyone on your team. Not to mention the “back” “I’m back” “forgot to say I’m back” messages as well. This is not a joke 5 days a week and each and every single day your chat message is going ping ping ping all day and distracting you to a point that you have to mute the whole recruiting chat group. We have all worked at big tech companies nationwide and even worked/supported remotely for global companies as Recruiters and non of those companies we have ever worked at ask you to notify everyone by typing BRB to everyone on Microsoft Teams chat when you take your lunch break or step away to chat with an employee at the office. Also some people on the team are allowed to be 100% fully REMOTE and other people on the team have to go into the office 2 Days a week. You are also constantly asked what days you go into the office even though you have already notified them. They like to control recruiters at this company.

If you are wanting to be micromanaged about every little thing you do as a recruiter even with experience and anything you are doing on a daily bases and not have an opinion or a process of your own as a recruiter then this place is the right place for you. There is also no actual training besides the senior recruiters showing you the ropes. They won’t tell you certain things but if you mess up or make a mistake the first time you are reprimanded even though it was never discussed or gone over during training.

The old senior recruiters that have been there for a long time/initial stage at this company also get all of the easy hires such as the many referrals that come in or hires that the hiring managers have already chosen/identified a candidate on. But the new recruiters are supposed to get 8 hires a quarter. New recruiters though are ask why our hires are low while we are doing everything we can to actually source for candidates. They love to fire new recruiters! Also just look up on LinkedIn of how many recruiters have left this company within a couple of months of working here. Only the initial “senior” recruiters have stayed that long.

You are not allowed to have your own opinion or speak up when you believe something doesn't work even if you have a ton of experience and background. It’s pretty much Nakupuna’s way or no way. Even if you come to this newer company with experience, they don't care. HR team is also clueless and don’t really have a process in place. 2 people have been fired for saying they micromanage us and for speaking up at the Recruiting Team department and 2+ other Recruiters have quite within a couple of months working at this company on the Recruiter side as well. New Recruiters be aware!!

Check on your Recruiting side and why 2 people were fired and why 3+ other new recruiters have quite the Recruiting team & company within a couple of months. Probably why the company keeps hiring more and more junior and recruiters that don’t have much/years of experience.If you look on LinkedIn non of the recruiters hired in 2023 - 2024 have stayed long or even made it to 1 year at least, we all only lasted a couple of months at this company. The micromanaging from the Recruiting team is nothing I have ever seen in my entire years of experience/career, it actually makes you hate working here and your job. No other places, at least Recruiting team side operates like this at other companies or staffing companies. Senior leadership needs to look into why the newly hired Recruiting team members tenure is very short lived and only a few months long at Nakupuna company.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The “Ohana” belief is intricately woven into the company from leadership to every employee. The best part about working for the Nakupuna company is how much value is place on each individual is valued. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part of working for the company was not deadlines but each team was willing to assist and complete the deadline. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Leadership gave each employee the sense of  trust and ability to perform their role. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Open dialog about how can we best serve our customers and communities.

Employment at this company has proven challenging due to inadequate management and a deficiency in credentials. Regrettably, addressing harassment or voicing concerns has led to reprisal rather than resolution. It's disheartening to witness such disregard for employee welfare and professionalism. Companies must prioritize establishing a secure and encouraging atmosphere for all staff members, highlighting the urgent need for improvements. Moreover, the perception of qualified individuals as threats is concerning and counterproductive to fostering a collaborative workplace culture.

Was at the company for almost 5 years and over my first small incident I was immediately leg go. They act like they care but ultimately it is a corporate business even if they claim small business and they dont care about you. I've met the CEO 4 separate times and he never knew or remembered me. The culture seems to be very caustic and you can be not working for months and then be working 80 hour weeks. Balance is the worst and I wish I never put that much time into this terrible business..

The company is a nonprofit, which means it must provide some benefit to the public. The company intends to get this accomplished through FREE work from its employees. This item is included in annual reviews where they warn that you have to contribute or suffer a lack of advancement and bonus money. This makes your performance at work 1/3 of their rating system. I find this sort of thing unacceptable. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The company had great benefits and the ppl were great

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?

What is the best part of working at the company?

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Uncertainty of the future and lack of communication 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The office in Denver was good. Just a lot of pressure.

The culture here is absolutely the worst. Women have zero ability to grow with this organization. The senior managers don't even have the credentials to lead, but because they have military experience, they're put in positions of power. Then everyone below them has to do their job for them. If you're female or want any opportunity for growth or security, do not work here.

Remote office experiences will vary and Defense Contracting always has its caveats, but Corporate leadership always keeps employee physical and mental well-being in mind.
