Vantaggi
Having worked at CSG for over 7 years (a lifetime in recruitment terms) there are a number of reasons I have never been tempted away elsewhere but one of the strongest reasons is the way the company operates and the responsibility the business gives to manager their own markets. We operate with very few KPI's but with a great training and development team that are constantly looking for ways to help. We get significant autonomy in the markets we choose to develop, how we go about working in that market and as long as you are delivering the results you should be, the company will let you work as you please. By being flexible as to how people operate, we not only get the best out of people but also have a great group of senior consultants and managers who all work very differently that can support and help out others when needed. We have a number of international offices and we are encouraged to take opportunities in those locations. I myself recently relocated to our Sydney office with the full support of CSG to continue developing my market.
Svantaggi
For me having worked at a few other recruitment businesses I know how lucky we are with the way the company works so I would really struggle to find anything. If anything people who require too much hand holding or an overly structured and KIP'ed environment might not find it the right fit.
