No Smoke without Fire - Principal One Search Employee Review

Whilst we are of course sorry that an ex-colleague would Marcus down to a 2* review, we have to accept that occasionally a disgruntled former employee will weaponize this anonymous forum. In this case, the review contains numerous factual inaccuracies and has been flagged to Glassdoor moderators for attention. A few facts in response: - SIX former One Search employees have rejoined the company in the last 5 years alone. We are proud of this record of 'boomerangs' and invite any prospective new joiner to talk to them about why they came back - NONE of One Search's revenue in 2021, 2022 or 2023 was from contingent "recruitment consultant" work. We are absolutely a retained search partner to our clients - some the world's most prominent investors who have very high standards indeed. - In Q1 2024, our average fee was GBP 100,000. Very happy for this to be audited by anyone interested. Does this sound like a "jazzed up recruitment consultant" to you? It is significantly higher than the career average fee of the gentleman who wrote the above review. - This very morning, a young woman resigned from the business the above author now works for, to join One Search. The timing of this review is no coincidence. - People are absolutely trusted at One Search. Highly skilled search consultants are given the opportunity to lead and build out their own business and have done so in style. That's why our Principals (average age 32) are some of the best known names in our segment of the industry and are earning tens of thousands of pounds more than their peers. - We agree with the above author that anyone thinking of joining us should talk to some of our ex-employees and we will be more than happy to put you in touch. - With 28 days holiday, healthcare, pension (401K), and hybrid working (3 days in office per week) we put the wellbeing of our people front and centre of our approach. Again, we are sorry that our former employee feels the way he does, but would urge people to do their own research rather than be guided by factually incorrect anonymous diatribes on the internet.
