Work-life balance is okay, could be better
My time as a Recruitment Specialist at MicroSourcing was pretty standard for the BPO industry. The work-life balance isn't bad, but it really depends on your project and team.
I liked the fixed shifts, which helped plan my personal life. For an onsite role in the BPO industry, it's pretty solid. Weekends were usually free, which is a big plus.
It's tough when client demands ramp up. Overtime can happen frequently, especially for us Recruitment Specialists, and it's not always paid well. Sometimes you feel chained to your desk.
Try to manage client expectations better so teams aren't constantly swamped. Clearer guidelines for overtime pay would also help boost morale.
