Avoid Peak Sales Recruiting at all costs!

I had a very bad experience with them recently. I interviewed with one of their clients, things went well, and the recruiter informed me that an offer letter was being created. The recruiter then disappeared for a week, no contact at all, and finally comes back with the update that the client is moving in another direction.


I understand that things change but not at the point of an offer letter is being submitted. Add to the fact that this recruiter really did not have a grasp of details on the comp plan and position, was hard to get ahold of, and was really not that professional.


Don't repeat my mistake of working with them. There are far too many recruiting agencies out there that will treat you better.

Going through any agency can be an "experience"

Thanks! It is obvious that due to all of the layoffs there has been a power shift. Recruiters/hiring mgrs should remember that this can change soon and they will not always have such a "wealth" of applicants for positions. People have long memories and I am not going to forget this experience anytime soon.

Had this happen a couple of years ago, but it wasn't through an agency, it was with the actual company. Recruiter emailed and said I got rave reviews from the hiring team and that an offer would be sent out the next day. I don't hear back until the following Monday and it's a rejection email. No response when I emailed asking what happened.

Always remember recruiters are just sales people. Some of these big firms like Peak churn through tons of recruiters so they can be very hot or miss. If you find a good recruiter, stick with them!

75% of agency recruitment firms are bad. Would love to have data to back this up. Don’t but would love to.

As a sales recruiter, this is very dodgy. And, I'll be the first to say it - recruiters can be some of the sleaziest salespeople out there.

We aren't all bad though - I have amazing relationships with all my candidates and still keep in touch with most of them after they've been hired. Definitely depends on the firm!
