Pros

At first, they are very supportive.

Cons

After a month, if you aren't performing like you've been living and breathing recruitment since you left the womb, you're useless to them. They always tell you that they're trying to expand, but since I left, they went from having about 10 staff, to now only having the 2 CEOs. Glad I got out when I did. Awful commission structures, racist clients and staff here, and it's just not what recruitment is about. They will also expect you to be checking job boards at 10pm, then talk about their 'work/life' balance.

Pros

Having worked at 5Q Consultancy since the first day of it's doors opening I can honestly say it has been risk more than worth taking. Armed only with a Laptop and Mobile Phone Julian has taught me how to recruit the right way, a skill that is sometimes lost on others. Guidance is always on hand, 24 hours if needed, within a business model that nurtures and supports consultants from entry level to senior. Every member of the team works extremely hard to ensure they are credible in the market and look after clients and candidates needs/wants. I can honestly say that joining 5Q has been the best career decision I've made and I will certainly be here for a long time building the business and expanding my own team. I truly believe that no one can match 5Q's commitment and professionalism within the Rec 2 Rec market.

Cons

Hogs back traffic......Not really 5Qs fault that. Also could do with a larger fridge on the kitchen, more consultants = more lunches = less space = anger.

Pros

There was always a great atmosphere and buzz around the office, which Julian and Craig were always key in creating. Julian was always accessible and on hand to offer training and advise, but was always keen to give me autonomy in the role. Great guys and great mix of fun, hard work and a mutual respect. Would recommend working here/with Julian and the team if they are looking at getting into recruitment.

Cons

The only con was that recruitment wasn't for me. No fault of the company and they gave me every opportunity to be successful.
