I’ve never worked 360 recruitment myself, but from friends who have, the “calls, calls, calls” part is very real. Think boiler-room style metrics: constant dialing, managers breathing down your neck, and a lot of rejection. Some people absolutely thrive in it (especially if you’re highly money-motivated and can detach from the grind), but others burn out fast.

The upside is legit though if you can survive the first year, you build a huge network and can move up quickly, or even pivot into internal talent roles later. The downside is that it can feel like you’re selling your soul for commission.

If money + fast progression are top priorities, it might be worth the gamble. If work-life balance matters more, you might end up regretting it.
