Open company - Recensione dipendente - Recruitment Consultant presso Harnham

With Harnham for almost 2 years as a contract employee. Hiring process was very easy. Was approached on LinkedIn, had a phone interview with the recruiter, then a phone and onsite interview with the contracting organization. Time from contact to hire was 3 weeks. My recruiter secured a higher hourly rate for me than my initial ask, which was in their best interest, but was a welcome bonus. Recruiter remains my main contact at the organization, and has always been easy to deal with, helpful as can be. They offer some benefits to contractors. The health insurance is super expensive and I skipped it. They offer a 4% match without vesting as long as you contribute at least that much - which was completely unexpected. There is also another match that is vested over time, but you'd need to work there for a handful of years to benefit.

Expensive health insurance, with no HSA option

Occasionally strong commission potential if you're lucky enough to get support or leads Some colleagues are great, but most don’t stay long enough to make a difference

Blatant favoritism. Management clearly chooses favorites and gives them better opportunities, resources, and visibility. If you’re not part of the inner circle, you’re overlooked. KPI-driven to the extreme. Everything revolves around hitting short-term targets. If you fall behind, there’s no support — just pressure until you're pushed out. No development or training. The company eliminated its entire Learning & Development function. You're thrown in with unrealistic expectations and no real path to improve or grow. Promotion is based purely on revenue. Hard work, consistency, or long-term potential don’t matter. If you're not making big money fast, forget about moving up. Cut-throat and demoralizing environment. The culture is toxic, and management often tears people down instead of building them up. Morale is consistently low. Insane turnover. Over 20 people left in just six months, including senior managers and the Head of Office. That level of attrition is a serious red flag. Misleading reviews. Be aware that many of the overly positive reviews on here are written internally or encouraged by management. They do not reflect the real day-to-day experience for most employees.
