Pros

Generally good salary, good commission structure, company events

Cons

Horrific culture of sexism, racism and bullying from senior staff who appear to be untouchable, despite their despicable behaviour. There is no point raising this issue with other managers as it will be denied (or worse, it will be believed but you will be told ‘they don’t mean it’). Very high turnover of staff due to extremely long working hours, intense pressure and nasty digs and jibes.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We take all claims of discrimination very seriously and any reports which are brought to our attention are investigated, and where appropriate, action is taken. We have policies in place to prevent harassment and discrimination of any kind and there are various channels for employees to come forward should they experience or observe any inappropriate behaviour. We strive to create an inclusive and respectful work environment that reflects Sellick Partnership’s core values. In line with our commitment to providing a safe and encouraging environment for all our people, in 2019 we appointed several Diversity Champions in the business to spearhead and implement our equality and diversity strategy. As with all of our Committees across the business, our Diversity Champions are made up of volunteers that have a particular interest in diversity, and ensuring Sellick Partnership is an equal and inclusive employer. Our employees’ health and wellbeing is also very important to us, and we have recently appointed a Health and Wellbeing Manager to implement wellbeing strategies ensuring we are always supporting employees in all areas of the business. Thank you for your positive feedback on our salary and commission structure. We have worked hard to ensure we offer an extremely competitive commission structure which is uncapped, rewarding our employees for their hard work.

Pros

I had the pleasure of spending four fantastic years at Sellick Partnership, working as a Recruitment Consultant within their Public Sector Legal division. I only left to take an extended break for travel – otherwise, I would have happily continued my journey there. Sellick Partnership stands out as the most supportive and well-structured company I’ve worked for. From day one, the training, mentorship, and overall development framework are both realistic and genuinely nurturing – perfect for anyone looking to grow and thrive in the recruitment industry. There’s a clear and achievable progression path, with genuine opportunities to rise from Resourcing Consultant right through to Director level for those who are committed and take on board the training and guidance offered. The team culture is another standout aspect – collaborative, experienced, and always willing to support one another. Whether you're just starting out or aiming to take your career to the next level, you're surrounded by people who want to see you succeed. On top of that, the earning potential is excellent. The commission structure is competitive, uncapped, and paired with a solid base salary – giving driven consultants every opportunity to achieve strong financial rewards. Sellick Partnership is a place where hard work is recognised, development is encouraged, and success is absolutely within reach.
