Pros

Working at Realm Recruit for over 3 years has been the most rewarding experiences of my working career. We have such a supportive and collaborative team who all work together to achieve our individual and company goals, allowing us to create a positive and flexible working environment. Everyone at Realm Recruit is approachable including our leadership team who are always completely transparent with any decisions needing to be made/where our company is heading so everyone is on the same page. There is a genuine interest into everyone's well-being/work-life balance and a huge support with development which has allowed me to not only grow as an individual but progress within the company multiple times. I have always felt extremely valued and trusted within my role, I feel very lucky to have found a company like Realm Recruit to work for and I'm looking forward to continuing being a part of the journey!

Pros

-Before joining Realm, I came from an environment where training felt like a tick‑box exercise. Here, it’s genuinely embedded in the culture. Coaching is thoughtful, collaborative, and designed to build real confidence in your abilities. I regularly leave sessions with clarity, insight, and a clear plan for how to progress my desk. -The flexibility here allows you to balance life outside of work without guilt. With no set working hours, you can structure your day around when you’re functioning at your best, rather than forcing productivity at times that don’t suit you. -Working on a specialist desk means you quickly develop deep knowledge of your niche. This not only strengthens conversations with candidates and clients, but also boosts your confidence and credibility as a recruiter.

Pros

The business offers great flexibility - so you can take time off in your day (but note this doesn’t come without cons) There are also some really lovely people who I worked with, and I enjoyed the assistance fellow peers gave to me. The MD is actually a nice person too, despite my experience

Cons

I was sold recruitment (and realm in particular) as the agency to join and learn my trade, and they promised to be different to every other agency. At first, all was fine and a strong culture was created with lots of collaboration, support and team bonding days…but as soon as billings started to drop for the team, management changed entirely. Flexibility was chopped away, micromanagement was increased, call targets were suddenly brought in (something the agency originally said wasn’t part of their style), and the business started to use its “culture” to effectively brainwash fellow staff. Making staff cry at work through stress is a sure fire con

We’re glad you valued the flexibility and the team support at Realm. To clarify, performance expectations – including call targets – have always been part of our recruitment model. These reflect the realities of the recruitment industry and are communicated openly from the outset. What sets us apart is that targets aren’t one-size-fits-all. Instead, we use individual performance data to set realistic, personalised goals that are aligned with each person’s success, recognising that this can look different for everyone. We understand that recruitment can be a demanding and, at times, stressful job—particularly when performance dips. That’s why, as the market has become more challenging, we’ve focused on providing additional support and structure to help our team navigate those pressures. Many have grown and succeeded through this period as a result. As we’ve grown from a micro business to an SME, cultural and structural changes have naturally followed. We’ve refreshed our values and built on what has always made Realm special. A lot of what we’re known for—like flexi working—was shaped by feedback from the team. Throughout this process, we’ve remained committed to consulting with our people. While we always listen, we recognise that it’s not always possible to meet every expectation. Realm may not be the right fit for everyone, but we remain committed to fostering an environment where people feel supported and empowered to thrive. We appreciate your contribution and wish you all the best in your future.
