Pros
•The team culture is excellent for a sales company. There is very much healthy competition, but no egos and a real feel of togetherness when working towards targets. This is partly due to the fact that everyone works in their own niche markets. •Skillsearch has a great training programme, which is well structured for both people new to recruitment and experienced consultants. The support offered from both the in-house trainer and the experienced team members allows new employees to have a flying start when they enter the company. •There is real autonomy within the company. If you have an idea on how to improve your personal billing, then you will be given the scope to run with it. •The company has a nice atmosphere and in general is an enjoyable place to work
Cons
•Unfortunately Skillsearch still falls behind its Brighton counterparts in terms of dress code and the office environment. Unlike other Brighton based agencies it’s still expected that you wear smart shirt and trousers to work, where others would have a far more casual environment. There is also extensive room in the office which could be used as a staff break area, both inside and out. However the management have failed to use this space and there is nothing provide any time of team lunch./chill out area. Without any real effort they could provide a work space that would rival other local competitors. •The basic salaries are slightly under the average for Brighton recruitment companies. Although the commission structure is good and rewards those that are doing well. •Skillsearch does not offer any benefits package, of course they will introduce a basic pension when required to with the change in government legislation. However again to bring it in line with its Brighton counterparts it would be a plus to see further pension constitutions, private healthcare and cycle to work schemes would all add to what Skillsearch can offer.
