Desventajas
Model - There is a reason no highly successful reverse headhunting firms exist--it takes too much man power and time to effectively run a reverse headhunting search, much less if you only charge a $5,000 retainer. The Client Services division is not large enough to provide all the services outlined in the membership agreement, and customers become very upset. A pay up-front for service model is a slippery slope and always something to be prudent with, and many executives see through this. Turnover - There was a nearly 80% turnover rate for the year, and that was before 2 USC, 6 UC Berkeley, and 1 UC Davis graduates walked out on the company. Management was presented with a manifesto about the inherent cost of employee turnover and more or less spit on it. Management - Although management has had a couple successful small exits, talent is not managed well in the firm, as highly qualified individuals are appropriated tasks which could be saved for an intern/assistant. Every single position in the company is revenue generating - again, not a sustainable endeavor.
