Pros

I joined the business a year ago with little recruitment experience, and I’ve already achieved so much — not only in billings but across all professional aspects of the role. This has been possible due to training and ongoing support the company provides. As a busy mum of two, I’ve also really valued the flexibility and understanding around part-time working when needed. That said, you do need to work hard and earn that flexibility — but the opportunity is absolutely there for those willing to put the effort in. Hard work is rewarded. I’ve also been lucky enough to build friendships here that go way beyond the office.

Cons

I haven’t had any negative experiences so far.

We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience after your first year with us. It’s fantastic to hear how much you’ve achieved already, both in your billings and professionally, and that the training and ongoing support have played a part in that success. We’re also so pleased the flexibility has made a positive difference as a busy mum. Thank you again for everything you bring to the team.

Pros

Having come from smaller organisations, I was cautious joining a larger firm but I’ve been very impressed! - great team surrounding you, good buzzy environment - rewarded well with what I would say is market leading com scheme - managers are great at giving advice, constructive criticism and supporting further development, no matter your experience level (all done in the right way) - quarterly do’s and regular incentives

Cons

If I had to give one, it would be working flexibility but I don’t mind what’s in place

Pros

The organisation is big on career development Promotes and develops internal talent Gives graduates a platform to begin careers and be successful Good commission scheme with consistency bonuses Support from line managers and flexibility when needed has been excellent Not your typical agency recruitment with a hire and fire mentality gives people chance to learn the tricks of the trade and appreciates the efforts employees make Good diversity of employees across the offices and people feel welcome

Cons

Long hours expected in typical recruitment job High pressure environment which is again in sales roles and if not keen with this probably not for the right post for you
