Let me start by giving you my background, fresh grad out of uni sold the dream about recruitment by the internal consultant at the time and here I am a few weeks later sitting on a cold desk pulling leads and cold calling clients - that really wasn't the bad bit. I was a successful consultant at RocSearch and left as a Senior Consultant simply because I was tired of all the crap that came with the RocSearch as a company rather than the low points of actually doing the job.
Recruitment is tough but lets face it anyone can do it and be pretty good at. However, if you want to make a career out it then AVOID RocSearch. I started with a bunch of great recruiters some seniors and some trainees and after 4 months I was the only one in the team remaining due to the experienced guys moving on to better firms and a bunch of unfair dismissals, I kept count and saw 20 people in the course of 8 months get fired or leave your left thinking when is it going to be my turn?
There are so many cons to Roc to name a few, the ridiculous expectations in KPIs (some managers even telling consultants to "hit them for the sake of it"), the need to work late nights and weekends to impress staff, hitting stupid call times a day and bleeding clients for their money ensuring they relationships will never be built.. BUT, the worst thing about Roc is the IGNORANT Management, right up to the egotistical CEO who comes into the office occasionally in hopes to strike fear into his brain-dead business managers, quite comical really.
They micro-manage you, talk down to you and at you and never a conversation with you, you are embarrassed in front of the office for mistakes you make and pretty much treated like a child, you want to work in a mature environment? Dont even bother interviewing at RocSearch, take it from an ex-successful consultant.
