The Porter Group

I was contacted by The Porter Group earlier this year after I had applied for a position online for one of their clients. I had the opportunity to go into the office in Princeton and meet with my adviser. It was actually a very thorough meeting where we discussed the good and bad about the previous positions that I held as well as setting and managing expectations for landing a new role for me. Nikole was very helpful with the process and did a great job working for me. I felt as though my best interests were taken care of by Nikole. There was extreme professionalism and even though I was told that it could take up to a month or longer to find opportunities, it took just about two weeks to present me with several opportunities. I attribute this to the hard work and dedication that my adviser had with regards to trying to get me placed. I understand that they make their money on placing individuals, but I will say that I felt a personal connection and that my adviser actually cared about placing me in the type of position that we discussed in our meeting and not just any job to get paid.
I would recommend The Porter Group to any sales professional that is looking to make a switch.

At first I thought the company was extremely professional. I have 14 years of sales experience and have been a past recruiter. I know what hiring managers look for and of course came in wearing a suit and professional. I have a great background representing high end products. WHen I first met the Porter Group, I thought they were great. I was told about a position they would get me in for, they did. However, after going on the interview, I truly felt it was not for me. There were things about the position that I was not presented. I was honest with the recruiter at the Porter Group that I wish I was interested, but it just wasn’;t for me. After that, I could hear the disappointment in her voice, because I know they make commission or has to make a certain amount of sales, so never heard back from her again! There has been plenty of positions I was absolutely qualified for, however, she became unprofessional the minute I heard the attitude/​disappointment in her voice!!! I am sure there are more professional recruiters there, however, she is representing the agency and that was my experience!!!
