KPIs - you are expected to spend over 3hours each day on the phone and make over 100 dials. On top of that you are expected to pull 5 vacancies a week, send 15 CVs, book 5 interviews and make 3 placements a month. Don't forget you have to add to the database with 15 companies and 30 contacts a week.
These KPIs make your job almost impossible and the hours horrendous. 8am (7:45am really, try coming in later) to 7pm. Try taking a full hour for your lunch or even taking it out of the office and you are made to feel bad.
All this company cares about is money and that is to the detrament of the company and it's staff, hence the high turnover.
I worked in the Manchester office and not one single member of staff is still there a year later. Everyone has left for other companies which are more of a consultative approach to recruitment. Not just finding a CV on a jobsite and mailing it to as many companies in the area as possible.
The high turnover of staff has resulted in Rec2Recs washing their hands of Premier, hence the internal recruiters they have hired.
If you think you have a chance of qualifying for an incentive behave yourself, they are reserved for a select group of around 5 consultants who have put up with the nonsense the longest and are earning good commission so can't leave, otherwise they would.
