Pros

Coming from France for a gap year, I planned to stay in London for only 9 months... but things didn't go as planned. Indeed, it is now 1 years that I am working for Durlston Partners and it is not ready to stop. Durlston Partners gave me a chance although I didn't have any experience and an average English. However, the friendly, collaborative and supportive environment helped me to grew up very quickly and learn more than I couldn't expect within few months. Although it's my first experience within the recruitment world, I can tell you that Durlston Partners doesn't operate like any other companies. First of all, we have a lot of freedom which allow us to find our own way of working and be responsible for managing our own time. We are encouraged to get out of the office to meet clients/candidates for a coffee/beer as much as possible which allows us to meet a lot of amazing people, but also enjoy the London's weather (...) Durlston Partners also gives us career opportunity and my example is a good one: I have been promoted to Senior Consultant within less than a year due to my achievements. The working environment is amazing, with a great bunch of people always happy and up for a good time. Finally, I would say the compensation at Durlston Partners is probably one of the best of the industry, with a very generous commission structure.

Cons

Fully stocked fridges... which is not good for my diet!

Pros

I joined DP from an environment with very little support or training. Over the last 18 months the whole team has played a huge role in my growth both personally and professionally. The culture is fair, collaborative and transparent. If any conflict does come up, it is very rare and always handled quickly and professionally. Management genuinely wants everyone to succeed and makes sure no one gets left behind. There is a lot of autonomy to work on what you are interested in, but also plenty of support if you want guidance. We collaborate closely across all three offices, which means you get to see the roles and opportunities globally. Client relationships are fantastic and often lead to exclusive roles. Even as a junior, I had the chance to attend client meetings and manage relationships directly which was such valuable experience. The team is amazing. Everyone celebrates wins big or small and there is a real sense of wanting the best for each other. Recruitment can sometimes bring out the worst in people but DP brings out the best :) The incentives are excellent and keep everyone motivated. Hours are great for the industry and being able to work out at lunch is a big plus.

Cons

Lots of cookie orders and Deliveroo
