Dynamic start up culture - Recensione dipendente - Recruitment Consultant presso Creative Personnel

I spent 2 sucessful years at Creative Personnel. You are given the resources required to do the job, and they will back your ideas. They were patient with me during my slow start, and soon rewarded me with pay rises once I started billing. I became a top biller at the company within a year and went on to earn good money. This was a good grounding in recruitment, hard but fair. I travelled to conferences in Europe and visited clients in Vienna amounst other places. I now have my own agency and this was a very good proving ground where I learned my trade. If you are billing consistently, the commission structure is good. Beers on a Friday afternoon in the office were a nice touch.

If you don't like pressure this isn't the place for you. Your sales figures, phone times, KPIs such as interviews and CVs sent are displayed on plasma screens in the office, so there's no place to hide if you aren't putting the graft in. I didn't mind becasue I was first in the building and worked hard. Slackers last about 2 or 3 months in this environment. Management can be tough if you aren't applying yourself, but were always good to me.

Having joined Creative Personnel with about 6 months ad sales experience, I found that after 2 years I had gained some excellent knowledge and my skills as a recruitment consultant were very expansive. All I can say is that if you are prepared to put in 100% in your work the directors really commit to pushing you to being successful - the great thing about working at CP was that I was really exposed to individuals with lots of experience - which I have found is not the case having moved on. The depth of my recruitment sales experience is far greater than the manager I am currently working for!

None really - however CP are very structured and do strive towards their individuals hitting targets. its not an environment you can hide - but if you don't mind hitting targets and KPI's there is lots of support. If you hit targets you get left alone and can do what you want (within reason).
