Pros

- Good social vibe, everyone is always up for a drink and the majority are very welcoming. - Company invests a lot in new technology and tools to make your job easier - At least when I first joined there was a couple of experienced recruiters around, who helped with training and mentorship, this helped a lot especially when you have no experience in recruitment. - Really good commission structure, you can earn alot of money here - Loads of incentives and team nights out - Nice office and location.

Cons

- Immature culture and even bullying in plain daylight. - Although some days you could hear a pin drop on the sales floor, they still manage to keep sort of a "wolf of wall street" vibe to the office, where if you move from your chair before 6pm it's "frowned upon" although you're contracted to work less. In fact some days you are encouraged to work even later. - Targets are ridiculously high and as a resourcer or consultant, you'd be on the same incentive targets as a Lead. Promotion targets on perm, unless you're on a lucky streak, forget about it. - Various cliquey groups and favoritism. If you're not in on it, expect to be mocked and not just by consultants but by management too. - At times even when you decided to go with the "work hard and play hard" motto, you're still not recognized.

Thank you for your review, we appreciate all feedback and we take it seriously as we’re always striving to do better. However, I don’t feel this is a fair representation of our business. What concerns me most is your mention of bullying as this is not something we tolerate at Meet. Culture is some thing we pride ourselves on and we actively engage the whole business to find ways of improving it. Our business is thriving, growing, and performing at the best level it's ever been and we had more promotions last year than ever before. For any new hires or potential talent looking at this review, we urge you to see our culture and the benefits first hand. Unfortunately we can’t please everyone and we apologise if we’ve made mistakes in the past (doesn’t everyone). Good luck in the future, Paul

Pros

The snacks are really nice

Cons

Management may be great sales people but lack management skills and employees are mistreated. My advice would be to watch yourself and trust no one. So many examples of men having inappropriate relations with their subordinates. However all upper management lack basic management skills. The job opportunities available for recruiters to advertise are poor. Its been a good few years since I've been there but I am surprised they are still up and running.

I'm disappointed to hear about your experience with our leadership team as we offer regular training to ensure leaders are managing to the standards we would expect. I'd welcome your perspective so that we can understand how we can improve moving forward. I would like to reassure you that any allegations of misconduct are both taken seriously, investigated and acted upon as the safety of our teams is of the utmost importance, both to me and the wider management team. I would encourage you to come forward confidentially with any examples of misconduct that you are aware of so that we can ensure that they are investigated.
