Pros

All of my colleagues at The Onset are just incredible recruiters. Everyone is from such different recruitment backgrounds which brings such a breadth of strengths and experiences. I have only been at The Onset for four months and I have already learnt so much. Sean, Aaron, and the Practice Lead's are incredibly well connected and have great reputations in the Sydney tech industry which makes building relationships with clients and candidates so much easier. The Onset also have fantastic values. They are not a transactional recruitment company and they care about long-term relationships more than anything. They are also striving to become carbon neutral and invest in training around topics such as gender equality and unconscious bias.

Cons

I came to Australia on my own and it was a weird time with COVID so it wasn't the most sociable office when I first started. I know they are working hard to address this though and are looking to do monthly socials again which will be great.

Pros

New technologies, training opportunities available

Cons

At the onset (pun intended), The Onset is highly impressive with excellent branding and strong, inspiring leadership presence. The overall 'optics' are great. However, over time, issues began to surface. 1. Favoritism is evident, with hardworking individuals being overlooked and taken for granted. Employees are hired quickly and fired even faster, while favorites remain untouchable, even if their performance is questionable. 2. Some offshore consultants shift the burden to the Delivery Team when they cannot find a candidate, expecting the Team to perform miracles. 3. The engagement of the Delivery Team is often left to the Employer of Record, and they are frequently forgotten during company special events. 4. Some offshore consultants are hypocritical, pretending to be friendly, but speaking ill of their Delivery Team counterparts at the first opportunity. It's all an "act" unfortunately.

Pros

The team is fantastic! They genuinely function as a cohesive unit, with everyone consistently eager to assist and support one another.

Cons

It's a very hire-and-fire environment here. Every month, there are new faces coming in and others leaving. Newcomers don't seem to have much opportunity to accomplish anything. Management communicates in a highly condescending manner with the team. There's a significant issue with miscommunication, and it seems like management shows little care or respect towards the team. The environment is very micromanaged and heavily focused on KPIs, despite promises of a mature work atmosphere during the interview process. As a senior with expertise, you might find yourself constrained in your approach to work
