BairesDev reviews

The HR and the management is not trustworthy - before joining I had clarified from the HR about my job security and asked that if their recruitment efforts in India do not become fruitful then what will be their plan of action - the HR said that in that case, they will absorb me in the company at their HQ in Argentina. However, one fine day, while working my Manager calls me & says that they are closing India project due to cost constrain and that I will be relieved in 15-days. I thank my husband who at the time of joining had guided me to get the 15-days notice period increased to 3--days, but my Manager did not even know this, thus there was no communication b/w the HR and the Manager on the terms of hiring. Additionally, I would further add that the company never had good intentions because even after 1 month of relieving, I used to receive calls from candidates saying that they were offered a job by the company, while they were in the shortlisting phase when I was in talks with them - it was sort of that they created a pool a candidate from India with my help, and when their quota was met, they removed me from the equation without giving a 2nd thought that they are ruining someone's career. In short, if you're being offered a work-from-home option, then please don't join this company at all as they will leave you hanging after 6-months. I had a decent job in a big MNC in Gurgaon, and went with this company only because of WFH option, but the company backstabbed me & did not fulfill their promise.

I was told to outright discriminate against candidates - they don't like people who are older, or those who are Indian American (even if you're second generation American and have no accent - I literally saw a great candidate get rejected for his name/ the color of his skin!) It's one of those jobs where you feel like you need to shower at the end of the day because you feel so gross. Staff is mainly young and inexperienced - they make you pass a series of math tests to get a job, but they don't really care about your actual skills or experience. Metrics are a joke - they literally want you interviewing unqualified people just to say you did X amount of interviews per week. They don't want you to do any real screening at all - only test scores. It's terrible to be a recruiter and KNOW you have no job openings for someone, but you have to interview them anyway because they passed the test. You're not allowed to be honest with candidates at all. You follow a script and nothing more. It's basically a telemarketing job. Recruiting isn't even under HR, it's under Operations - so they don't care about compliance, risk, or legal issues. They force you to ask questions that are illegal in the US because they have absolutely no idea what they're doing. I literally felt like I was doing busy work every day. It's not a sustainable recruiting model, and that's why 90% of the staff just sits around figuring out ways to fool productivity software and metrics, while griping about how horrible the job is to their coworkers on Skype.
