Vantaggi

I worked at proco for a period of two years, during that time I was able to make decent money, but realistically I could have done that with any recruitment business. If you are a reasonably good recruiter, the same will be true for you

Svantaggi

For anyone considering joining this company, take a look at the reviews on here. You will notice that approximately half of them talk about how amazing the culture is. The other half comment on what a terrible place it is to work. Seems a bit strange doesn't it? Well, I can tell you that while I was at the company, we were asked by members of the leadership team to write positive reviews on this website. I wouldn't say we were asked to do it against our will but... The company like to advertise on Linkedin about how quickly they are growing, yet revenues in every region are in freefall, and in some cases quite significantly. This may have something to do with the fact that recruitment companies need strong tenured people in order to succeed and grow . Unfortunately, in the case of Proco, these people continue to leave the business. Usually if staff members are happy and well looked after, they stay with their employers. People are generally quite open about sharing their experiences with this company so if you are considering a "career" with Proco, I would recommend reaching out to some past employees directly as they can give valuable insight into what it's really like to work there.

At this point I would normally thank someone for taking the time to write a review, but this seems quite vindictive. Firstly we do indeed ask our employees to review us on Glassdoor, it is what it is there for, and to be honest we have appreciated some of the constructive feedback from current or ex employees, as it has helped us improve a few things.. Secondly reviews on this site are anonymous, and we do not tell people what to write. I would also like to take this opportunity to point out that this year our group revenues increased from $15million USD to $20million USD. Finally, I would like to give you some advice back - If you want to be successful in your career I suggest you focus on you, and not on what we are doing as a business. You no longer work here and I for one, after reading the above think that is a good thing for both parties. As I have mentioned these reviews are anonymous so if you would like to discuss any of this directly then you know my email address.

Vantaggi

Work hard play hard mentality. You bill, you make money, simply put. You work hard, you are awarded, simply put. Supportive environment. The business is patient to allow people time to get up and running. If the business sees that you are putting the effort in, they will help you and support you to get to your goals.

Svantaggi

The business, like every other company in the world has had to make changes and look at how they approach the market and overall, the internal landscape. Perhaps those decisions weren't easy for the business, but everything that was done was with everyone's best interest in mind.

Hi Tim, thanks for your review, Interesting - but not entirely factual. Firstly, whilst it hasn't been our greatest year, as with the vast majority of companies in our industry, There have been an awful lot of headwinds over the past 12 months that go a long way to explaining that. Secondly, we have lots of great people in this business who have understood that, knuckled down and produced incredible results. You weren't one of them, having billed less than your day rate over the previous 18 months (which I'm sure you haven't told your new employer). Interestingly, our best two months of the year have been since you left which I'm sure is a coincidence, but it feels quite symbolic. Finally, thank you for your "strategic" advice, I'll be sure to take it all on board. I wish you well Tim.
