Pros

Some nice colleagues and occasional good comradery.

Cons

I did not have a positive experience working for this company. This is a purely contingent search firm which runs a numbers game. Very little care and attention to relationships and client management. Employer metrics often based on numbers and not necessarily business sense.

Amida Response

Noting that this review was written at the end of 2015, Amida Singapore is a much changed business since then. I would also note that the comments might have been made somewhat under Group Attribution, in that he/she is associating one particular former Manager with the rest of the senior leaders and wider company. It's nearly 2019 and our team of Consultants here are deeply entrenched and successful in their sectors within the built environment. We are also less contingency focused, with at least 25% of revenue coming from Executive Search and the rest coming from predominately either Exclusive agreements on specific roles and also a number Preferred Supplier Lists that we have access to. We are highly selective in terms of our recruitment partnerships, preferring a lower number of clients and more far-reaching partnerships across Asia-Pacific. In terms of metrics focus on the 'numbers', it is important to note that we suggest a minimum amount of baseline activity to generate revenue on a desk. We are not a overly KPI led firm, but we do look at things like interviews generated in a week, CV-to-placement fill ratios, and also client satisfaction surveys for more qualitative data. We empower our people to run their desks as their own business, with plenty of training and enough managerial guidance where required, but we are certainly not micro-managers as this review might suggest.
