Pros

I joined Durlston Partners over a year ago from a big contingent firm and the difference from my previous experience in recruitment has been night and day. The collaborative environment coupled with the extensive client base has allowed me to make the most of a commission structure that can’t be beaten in the market. The opportunity for career progression was clearly laid out from day one and I achieved three promotions within my first 7 months. The CEO makes sure that everyone (not just top billers) are involved in all the company events and in my first year I’ve been on two long weekends away with the team and a trip to NYC. Hard work and no ego are all it takes to be successful and enjoy your time here.

Cons

Lots of people taking the extra half-hour at lunch to go the gym makes me feel guilty...

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
