Vantaggi
- Genuinely lovely people on the team who all want to do well and eacchother to do well too - Directors and management clearly really care about and are invested their team members beyond just making money - Decent office space in a nice location - Seems like there are a variety of opportunities for people beyond recruitment - Decent balance of women & men - Very thorough training programmes & training support - Stuart Nichol is a fantastic leader overall. Gives great guidance and support, clearly really cares about his teams. He provides a platform for success & a genuinely positive culture
Svantaggi
- Lack of automation and a heavy focus on unnecessarily manual processes that waste quite a chunk of your time - Too much of a focus on the wrong things, e.g hitting daily/weekly numbers & data entry - Focus on specialisation, although a good idea, is implemented the wrong way and perhaps not focused enough on live market data & actual market needs - Definitely feels like the company are stuck in the past quite a bit. It is clear that there is management that want to move with the times but imagine this isn’t easy in a large company - Lacking in very basic modern data acquisition & outreach tools - Some micromanagement, I imagine useful for some - Chauvinistic tendencies within some older male members of the team across the UK which lead to some extremely uncomfortable and degrading comments about women e.g “no means yes” - Long days leading to consistent ‘games’ of “going home chicken” - It can be hard to adapt if you have worked in recruitment elsewhere, it’s the Experis way or the high way
