Challenging to keep up - Recensione dipendente - Senior Recruitment Consultant presso ConSol Partners

1 - The company decided to sell in 2016 and branded it investment. There has since been a lack of commitment from Directors who sometimes attend as little as 1 day a week. This is one reason initial growth objectives and promises have failed to be met as the focus is now more on KPI's. This has recently seen many of the high performers leave the business both in London and LA as the feeling of a glass ceiling is common amongst the company. 2 - Out of touch! The company leaders have really failed to keep up with the latest technologies/markets making it difficult to get the best out of consultants. They rely heavily on trying to hire external expertise which has really failed since 2016. It also means that the company struggle to deliver to many of the markets they advertise as specialising in. 3 - Challenging US mission - While its amazing that the company offer the chance to move to the US, there have been some real challenges around this. With one US office in Boston already closed down, ConSol have struggled to keep there LA office alive with many of the high performers and relocated directors either leaving or returning to the UK office. 4 - No HR!! This is one of the biggest issues within the company. Consultants must sometimes endure innappropriate comments/actions from both Consultants and Leaders as reports/complaints are often swept aside. This has seen a huge number of women leave the business leaving as little as 3 female consultants in an office full of 50+ men. The main focus of the leadership team in situations is using the external HR advisors to guide them in protecting themselves from legal standpoints.
