Pros

* A good company to work for all in all, you are given freedom to manage your own business, no micro management! * Recruitment has long hours so it's great at lunchtime you have the opportunity to actually have lunch, go to the shop, have a workout etc as everyone downs tools for an hour. * In house trainer is a plus if anyone ever needs advice to improve personal performance. * there is a real mix of experienced Consultants and juniors in the team which offers a healthy balanced working environment. * regular achievers event where people who have hit target get to celebrate with an afternoon off and meal on the company.

Cons

* Like with all fast growing companies Skillsearch is no different to experiencing growing pains, historically the wrong people have been hired on occasion so has been difficult to grow as we would have liked. * dress code is extremely outdated a corporate feel when your clients are not corporate still seems weird in this day in age. * Lack of work flexibility, if you give up your evening for a work event you will still be expected 8.30 the next morning no matter what time you get home. * Future direction is not always clear and this can be evident in employees not understanding their career paths and timescales. * compensation and benefits are competitive but by no means the best in the market.

Pros

Fun activities and incentives can make the job more interesting

Cons

Cliché working environment, the CEO was not encouraging and made you feel like another cog in the recruitment machine. Director of the team did his best to make it a nicer working environment
