ddddd - Recruitment Consultant Amby Employee Review

Real impact, fast: You get to work directly with fast-growing companies, becoming an embedded part of their team – which means real influence and responsibility from day one. Variety and learning: With multiple client projects across tech, product, and commercial roles, no two days are the same. Great for those who love to learn, grow, and adapt. Strong peer community: You’re part of a highly skilled recruitment team that prioritizes knowledge-sharing, development, and support. You’re never on your own. Tech-savvy & forward-thinking: Amby is early to explore and implement AI and recruitment tools. You get hands-on experience with cutting-edge practices. Nordic culture & flexibility: The company promotes openness, trust, autonomy, and a healthy work-life balance – with flexibility as the norm, not the perk. Clear career growth: Structured paths for advancement – whether you want to grow as a specialist, team lead, or into strategic talent roles.

Fast-paced and ever-changing: Working with scale-ups means constant change. You need to be comfortable with shifting priorities and contexts. High expectations: Clients are ambitious and expect results – which is exciting, but also demanding. You need to deliver. Flat structure: There's a lot of freedom, but that also means you need to be proactive, self-driven, and take ownership. Client-facing complexity: Being embedded means adapting to different company cultures and ways of working – flexibility and emotional intelligence are key. Rapid iteration: Things move quickly – both internally and in client projects. You need to enjoy learning on the fly and adapting in real time.

1. Absolutely fantastic colleagues- The energy and enthusiasm of your peers on video calls and assignments is truly infectious and makes you want to strive to do better! 2. Flexible work at its finest. 3. As a remote employee, it is also very cool to work with startups and scaleups from all over Europe.

1. Unfair Treatment of Remote Workers- Since day 1 we were sold on the promise of equal treatment of remote and on-site employees which sadly is not reflected in several scenarios over the last year plus. a. Layoffs- Three rounds of layoffs affected only remote team members, citing insufficient work, while similar roles were swiftly filled in the on-site office where work has now materialised. b. Compensation- Remote team members have not received raises, inflation adjustments, or bonuses since 2020, in contrast to the on-site branch's salary increase at the end of last year/ the beginning of this year. c. Events and Engagement- Remote employee events and engagement activities are scarce and underfunded, while on-site office members enjoy various perks like ice-cream days, Christmas parties, and breakfast gatherings. d. Non-inclusive Leadership- Leadership within the remote team lacks inclusivity and effective management. 2. Progression- Progression in salary is tied solely to role progression, a challenging feat, particularly for remote workers. There are way too many rules/steps and favoritism further complicate the process, making career growth seem almost unattainable. 3. HR Oversight- It's surprising for a company specialized as talent partners to operate without a dedicated HR personnel or experienced People Ops professionals to manage in-house talent effectively.
