Pros

I genuinely cannot think of any.

Cons

This place is definitely not a nice place to work. You will get sold a dream by the management-they will act like charm personified at the start-do not be fooled! Unfortunately this is a very old school recruitment type of environment-A lot of ego with no substance. Very segregated. No team work or shared morale. The team do not welcome you in, very cliquey. The only area that does well is e-learning. No training is provided whatsoever. Bullying micromanagement tactics. If you are struggling they do not help you, instead they virtually manage you out. Very high turnover of staff-this wouldn't happen if they actually invested time into training and development. Poor commission structure, you pay for your own socials, very long hours and no career progression path. They try to portray a work hard play hard mentality but really they want you to work hard so they can make more money for minimal effort on their part. They would do a lot better if they reviewed their training and ethos.

Instinct Resourcing Response

We are genuinely upset that you felt compelled to write such a negative review, naturally we would like to resolve the issues you have, therefore please do not remain anonymous and get in touch with us. Obviously we don’t agree with your comments, and we are struggling to understand that if Instinct is such a horrendous place to work, why you would have chosen to have been employed by the company for more than a year? To that end, we would like to make comment on your review: We are proud that we have a very strong team who work excellently together, are very friendly and enjoy high levels of success. This excellent team ethic produces super results and rewards, which have recently included a team day at the races, and a weekend city break. Furthermore we have an extremely good commission structure which has been industry benchmarked, so naturally as with any commission structure, if an individual is successful they get handsomely rewarded. As a business we do not have a very high turnover of staff, and we absolutely do not have a micromanagement environment – quite the opposite in fact, we have a grown up, supportive culture that allows positive and ambitious individuals to flourish, as is the case with many of our team who have enjoyed super career progression with the company. We obviously weren’t the company for you and for that we apologise. However we sincerely wish you well in your future endeavours.

Pros

The team here has been really welcoming and supportive since day one. As someone still fairly new in the recruitment space, I’ve found it valuable to work with colleagues who are always willing to lend a helping hand and share their knowledge. From day 1 you are supplied with a clear plan of your targets for the year which allows you to focus on your career in recruitment, which I found really useful.

Cons

Can't fault the place! A really fun and social environment to come to 5 days a week!

Pros

Very clear expectations from day 1, with plenty of support from senior management on how to achieve targets and improve these over time No micro-management, you are trusted to be independent in all the work you do but are held to account as a result (which works to help you improve and learn from any mistakes) Communication is very open and honest, and the Director's have managed to curate an environment where staff feel compelled to help each other through sharing ideas, candidates, leads etc. Aside from this, there are monthly lunch clubs, yearly trips, and half days out including the Ale Trail which contribute further to a really positive team culture

Cons

None, you have set KPIs and targets but this can only be expected from a high performing recruitment agency. If you are happy to work hard, there will be no cons
