Pros

Great training program if you are new to recruitment, good financial benefits if you do well.

Cons

Management extremely unprofessional. You will constantly be expected to work late without even a thanks but if you arrive 5 minute late one mornings expect to be called up on it and given out to like you are in school. If you want a question answered it will likely need to go to 4 different levels of management first. If you bill well one month your the best thing in the world - one mistake or bad month and you will be make to feel terrible. KPI's are ridiculous - not achievable and every Friday from 3PM I watched other staff members panic and track phone calls that were never made just to hit KPI's. Internal competition with other offices/specialisms is incredibly bad - welcome back to school get ready for the claws to be out!! Great way to start my career as it showed me everything that i DIDN'T want in an employer.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Recruitment of course has a level of sales skills required and we acknowledge it's not for everyone.
