Harnham Reviews

Thank you for taking the time to leave a detailed review and for highlighting the people you've worked with at Harnham. It's great to hear that you've met colleagues who have made a positive impact on your experience. It's clear from your comments that your experience hasn't always matched the one we aim to create, and we appreciate you sharing your perspective. Recruitment is a high-performance industry and there will always be times when performance is discussed openly and expectations are challenged. While our intention is to support people through difficult periods rather than penalise them, we recognise that those conversations can feel very different depending on an individual's experience and circumstances. We also understand your comments around leadership, career progression and change. We're proud that many of our managers have built long-term careers at Harnham and progressed from trainee level into leadership positions. That continuity brings a lot of value, but it's fair to say that it can also create challenges if a business isn't continually looking at new ideas and different perspectives. That's something we're conscious of and continue to work on. In fact, towards the end of 2025 we made a significant investment in additional management and leadership development programmes to ensure our leaders are equipped with the skills, perspectives and support needed to help both their teams and the wider business succeed. On the point around meetings and decision-making, there is always a balance to be struck between collaboration, consistency and giving people the autonomy to focus on their core responsibilities. While we may not always get that balance right, it's something we regularly review and discuss with our teams. Whilst we may not agree with every point raised, we appreciate the time you've taken to share your experience. If you'd like to discuss any of these points further, we'd be happy to continue the conversation directly. We wish you all the best in your future career.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for your kind words. We're delighted to hear that you found Harnham to be a place where people genuinely support one another and where hard work is recognised and rewarded. Creating opportunities for our employees to grow their careers, develop new skills and achieve their goals has always been a core part of who we are, so it's great to hear that this was reflected in your experience. We're especially pleased that you highlighted our training, culture and the people you've worked alongside. The relationships our employees build and the environment they create are a huge part of what makes Harnham special. We also appreciate your feedback around benefits. We're always reviewing our offering to ensure it remains competitive and meets the evolving needs of our employees. Thank you again for your contribution during your time with us, and we wish you every success for the future.
