Vantaggi

Large blue-chip clients to work with and support Team members are friendly and generally decent people Ability to work on some projects but with very limited scope Exposure to how larger organisations deal with recruitment Good place to add a good company or two to your CV

Svantaggi

Scope of work is extremely repetitive, clients aren't receptive to making any real kind of process improvements. Anything new requires sign-off from both internal and external stakeholders, making processes extremely slow. Sourcing team leads are entirely dependant on Lead Sourcers to support the development of junior staff members, they often have little understanding of sourcing processes themselves. Very limited career progression, promotion is on tenure rather than ability Extremely KPI driven with daily sheets to fill in for everything; daily screens, interviews, offers, separate projects, PDPs, end of year reviews. Really poor morale in teams due to workloads. Old equipment, extremely slow laptops, terrible headsets. Promotion goalposts continually moved throughout my 2+ years . No bonus or incentives worth talking about. Christmas parties are self funded (pretty miserable). Stay clear if you're an agency recruiter, you'll not be impressed with the call centre style personnel they hire around you at the same level. Unsavoury characters in leadership positions

Vantaggi

Flexible and remote working Great company but with the right leadership

Svantaggi

Since the leadership change last year, the culture within AMS has deteriorated significantly. The new CDTO’s approach has created an environment that feels increasingly toxic and unsustainable for many employees. There is a strong sense that every problem is expected to be solved—or sidelined—by AI, often without realistic planning, sufficient resources, or input from the teams actually responsible for execution. This has led to confusion, constant shifting priorities, and a lack of meaningful support for getting work done effectively. At the same time, workloads have increased to an unsustainable level. Expectations continue to rise, but without additional resources or clear prioritization. Many teams are stretched thin, juggling multiple high-pressure initiatives with tight deadlines, which only adds to the stress and makes it difficult to maintain quality or balance. More concerning is the leadership style. Communication often feels driven by pressure and fear rather than clarity or collaboration. Many employees feel they are operating under constant scrutiny, which has contributed to widespread stress, anxiety, and low morale across the department. It’s becoming common to hear colleagues express reluctance to come into work, not because of the workload itself, but because of the atmosphere.
