Pros

The Leadership team work tirelessly to hire, induct, train and retain the best talent in the market with the priority being to further develop and upskill all employees (both tenured and new). The Management team interfaces well with their people and any problems which arise are addressed professionally and quickly. Targets are clear; strong direction, support and autonomy is given to help everyone achieve those targets. The expectations are high but that is part of the high stepping, competitive environment which makes Robert Half a great place to work. Recognition both locally, from a UK perspective and on a global platform is brilliant. Being a global company opportunities to explore other avenues is openly supported for those who have proven themselves.

Cons

Due to the nature of the recruitment industry typically working hours are quite long but that is rewarded through compensation, bonuses and progressive initiatives are always being looked at.

Pros

Success with other departments - just not in mine

Cons

Complete bait and switch. I accepted this position under one manager, only to find out after resigning from my previous job that I would be reporting to someone else entirely. There was no meaningful onboarding, no training materials, and no support system in place. My manager openly stated that there was no monetary value in helping me succeed and made little effort to train or develop me. Requests to shadow and learn the business were dismissed in favor of keeping me on the phones. Instead of being set up for success, I felt actively prevented from growing. HR was equally disappointing. I raised legitimate concerns and never received a response. The organization talks about development and support, but my experience suggested otherwise. Joining this company was one of the biggest professional mistakes I have made.
