A lot of work needs to be done here - Recensione dipendente - Recruitment Consultant presso SThree

This is not a company you grow at. The attrition rate is high for a reason. Unless you come in with a large amount of clients from working at a different agency or get randomly placed into recruiting for a niche market that is particularly doing well, it is a struggle to succeed here. The management will never admit that a large part of this job is luck and there is little to learn from the management as they don't have leaders in place with well rounded backgrounds. For example, my team struggled massively to be successful within business development and we were managed by two people who never did business development themselves. It's not hard to figure out what's going on there. The culture is pitiful. You have shady upper leaders walking around every hour to chat with people who are doing well and to turn their nose up at people who aren't. You can work a full 8 hour day, but if you leave at 5 prepare to be given glares on your way out the door. It's a regressive grind culture that fails to acknowledge what actually leads to success. They have a few top billers who clearly lead decisions around SOPs or at least have more power over the leaders to do whatever they want as they make the company so much money they have free range to break rules as they please. The leaders are more concerned about keeping these billers happy even if it is at the expense of helping new people get their footing or gain experience that will help them learn the job. All this to say, myself and many other people who joined when I did feel as though they set up to fail. In between the lack of knowledge around markets you recruit for, terrible culture fostered by incompetent leaders, and an inability to teach anyone how to do the job correctly, I would never recommend working here.
