Pros

- Both Founders have been the best at what they do in their career but have employed/promoted internally people they believe have ideas, smarts, and 'the know-how" to take the company forward. - Top commission structure, remote flexibility and an adult approach to measuring performance - Through my tenure they have consistently funded and invested the newest and best rec-tec on the market so that their is no excuses when it comes to doing the job required of a 360 recruiter. - There is some brilliant talent in Leadership positions who are well connected and coming from a mix of top backgrounds such as Xcede, Burns Sheehan but most importantly doing the same role expected of a 360 recruiter so understand the challenges of todays market. - Multiple team members who have history of billing over £500k in revenue per year, and turning £150k Billers into £300k billers. - Solid client base with impressive case studies to match. - An excellent Ops team, the Leader of Ops team makes this difficult role so much easier.

Cons

- It is hard to quantify specific cons over 5+ years of tenure because each year has come with many ups and downs like any other business. - More communication across the business, which would be easily fixed. - If you are looking for trips/incentives over a top commission structure and fair market pay then this probably is not the company for you.

Pros

The NY team is wonderful

Cons

I don't know how this place has so many positive reviews. The team in NY is fantastic but the UK team is a mess. There is a serious lack of process, and a total lack of disregard for their employees. They don't share your commission statements until after you've been paid, leaving you confused on what commissions are pending and what has been paid out. They also have a complete lack of structure in their accounts team. One of my roles has gone 7 months without being paid out. Coming from other well-known recruitment agencies, the lack of structure here is outstanding. There's also a very heavy drinking culture. Another thing I noticed is the favoritism here. There are employees who are still with the company yet have not billed in MONTHS, yet employees that were billing successfully were let go. Horrible place with horrible founders. Again, the NY team is fantastic and I can't say enough positives about them but the UK team is a hard NO. They also post the same one job 10x, making them seem to have more opportunities than they actually do.

We appreciate your feedback and are truly sorry for your poor experience with TDA Creative. We hold ourselves to the highest standards and are always working hard to improve our internal processes so that the lives of all our employees are continuously elevated to the highest level. Obviously, your post is anonymous, so we do not know who you are or when you left us, but we would like to address some of your feedback. In recent months, we have introduced a new Chief Finance Officer who has grown the accounts team and further streamlined our commission and payment processes. Our commission structure has always been on our central hub, which is available for all employees to view, ensuring maximum transparency. We cannot provide feedback on your comment about billing employees being let go as there are many variables involved in dismissing employees. However, for non-billers, we have introduced and invested in new training methods to give everyone an equal opportunity to reach their full potential. We have recently introduced new benefits for all employees, including flexible working, early finishes, extra holidays, and more. We do not condone a heavy drinking culture, nor do we condone favouritism. Regarding client and candidate experience. This is always our number one priority and we currently have a net promoter score of 93% for candidates and 97% for clients. This comes from nearly 500 reviews. If there has been misconduct around job postings or poor candidate experience, please email the team at hi@tdacreative.com (feel free to do so anonymously), and we will investigate immediately. We would love to extend an invitation to you to directly to discuss your time at TDA and delve deeper into your feedback so that we can investigate further and escalate where appropriate.

Pros

Good Commission Structure in place.

Cons

The most micromanaged company I have ever been a part of. Layoffs are common and happen frequently.
