Hey. I'm seeking information from someone that actually works for or has worked for in the past for this company. It sounds like a great company, but as a contract recruiter, not a salaried employee for them, what is it really like? If you do work for them, which option did you go for, the $200 per appt., or the full fee for completed employments?

Thanks in advance!

I applied to work for them, but never got a callback. I did the follow-up, etc, seemed to match up to what they were looking for. Just curious, did they call you back?

I wasn't able to find much info on them, either.

Actually, I haven't even applied yet, I'm still researching them atm.....there's plenty of good to read about them, but I've yet to come across the viewpoint of someone who is doing this for them......still waiting on that.....

Let ya know when I know......

I have worked for RJ & Makay for the last several years. Both as a contracted recruiter and on some special projects as well. I have really enjoyed my experience so far. Being a contract recruiter, I have been able to set my own schedule, which is still pretty much full time, but if I have to take my kids to an appt during the day, that is never a problem. The RJM management team has been very professional as well. I have worked under several different directors and have enjoyed them all. Your question about what payment plan to choose? I have done them both. I started out on the pay per appt. plan and then switched over to the full fee plan because the payouts can and have been large for me. It just takes a few months to build your pipeline on the full plan, but well worth it in the long run.

Hi there - Yes - I work for them! I love the company - after seeing the number of non-legitimate "opportunities" out there, this is a breath of fresh air. I work in a different division, but did spend some time in the one you refer to. Either pay advantage has its benefits - so choose what works best for your situation, and you can change your mind later. I encourage you to visit their website (www.rjandmakay.com) to read about them, check out the "contact us" page and call anyone on the list. You'll be impressed by the professionalism of the group, and willingness to be forthright and candid with you. RJ&Makay will never ask you for a dime...they really do pay the commissions you earn, and they provide exceptional training!

I have worked for RJ & Makay for several years. It is for real and a great opportunity for the right person. It does take persistance and dedication but if you follow the plan you will make money. I have been very impressed with the level of professionalism and support provided by my management team.

As a contract recruiter for RJ & Makay, initally on the side you are speaking about, I can tell you that it is NOT a scam. Like any recruiting, it is not for everyone, and it is difficult. I too was thinknig that it HAD to be a scam... did research to find out about them... and spoke with them at length. Found out that it was anything but an upfront, sound business model. The training you are given (no cost) is top notch, the tools you have at your disposal (no cost) is state of the art in recruiting and the highly professional management team is accessible and actively recruiting as well. I highly reccommend anyone considering either transitioning over from a "brick and mortor" shop or a mom and pop shop to check them out. Having worked for both of the above, I can honestly say that the management, top to bottom and beyond, is not only the most ethical group, but the most straightforward and honest. Like any contract recruiting job, you have to be willing to put in the time -it is not "easy money", but it is worth it. 100%. I have my bank account to prove it. The CEO is highly accessible and the teams are dynamic. PLUS there are many divisions - if one is not right for you, or you "outgrow it", or if management views you ready to move, you can do so. No fees for getting going - it's a contract job, not a scam. I've been with them for quite a few years....

Anybody else concerned that there are 4 responses from brand new posters who all happen to work for this company? Maybe it is just me, but I would be very careful dealing with this company these responses just seem a little too coincidental.

Yup. And recruiterone and tabdir posted identical responses, within the last couple of days on another message board, too. Oh, and they're newly registered to that message board as well.

The person asked for people that actually work at RJ & Makay to respond. 4 of us did. That gives you cause to think this is more of a scam? I don 't get it. When this came up internally in our firm dozens of recruiters wanted to post responses. We thought that would be overboard. Recruiters pay NOTHING. They get their training for FREE. They have positions to recruit PROVIDED to them. They get to UTILIZE all of the resources of RJ & Makay. I'm not sure where the whole scam angle is coming from. You should go to the contact us page on the RJ & Makay website and just start randomly calling their people if you want to talk to someone.
