David Aplin Group Reviews

Pros

Friendly, supportive work environment. Great training that is ongoing and direct interaction with highly experienced Recruiters and Management that are always happy to help!

Advice to Management

Parking subsidy! Or the opportunity to work remote at least once a week!

Pros

Flexible hours, honest company, really great people that care a lot, once you have been there for a while, they will provide training, room for advancement

Advice to Management

Spend time in every branch to make sure they are all being run the same and have the same culture , branch I worked at was uptight and felt that everyone should work 12 hour days in the office

Pros

Great team with a management team that truly cares

Pros

At one time there was the "home/work" balance, but that was slowly changing when I was released. They let you run your desk the way you want to run your desk as if it is your own business, its about making the numbers which makes sense. Flexibility in regards to attending to family at home, option to work from home was a perk for employees with children. When the economy is good, and your billing,life is good here, when the economy took a turn, things changed, you learned your value quickly.

Advice to Management

Re-evaluate the leadership team, your teams are only as good as their leaders. Get all the information before making decisions, you may not always have the correct facts. Communication on the direction of the company needs to be clearer.

Pros

Thrown right into the fire and need to build up a book of business quickly. You learn a lot in a short amount of time and should look at this as a launching pad for your career.

Advice to Management

Be transparent and place more value on your intermediate up and coming recruiters. Embrace their skills and help them develop their careers, instead of pushing them out the door to put money in a competitors pocket (who sees more value in them). Recruiting is just as important as Sales in any deal, one does not outweigh another. A Sales person doesn't equal a rockstar recruiter off the hop. BD is not more important than building a pipeline of candidates.

Pros

Having worked at Aplin for nearly a decade, I can truly attest to the strong collaborative company culture and the internal support for career growth and development. So much opportunity to make an everlasting impact. The recruitment team focuses on extending that positive impact among their peers, with their clients and with job seekers.

Pros

Working in teams
Large networks
Nice annual party
Family owned
Originally felt wanted

Advice to Management

Stick up for your employees and foster a good culture.
Share information openly
Be seen in the offices

Pros

Great mentoring and training. They give you the tools to succeed! Excellent work life balance.

Pros

Office looks professional, salary was given on time

Advice to Management

Be careful on hiring your own Recruiters. Focus on the skills required and not on the looks. Most Recruiters have no recruiting background which can easily identify during the interview process. If this cannot be avoided, provide proper training to your Recruiters.

Pros

Good working culture, average pay
