There is a great team spirit, having been here for a few years and meeting a lot of people along the way, I have to say it is an excellent company to work for. We are treat with respect and the owners are great. The office environment is brilliant and they offer flexible working too. I'd recommend Blue Octopus to anyone.

Pros

I’ve always found Blue Octopus a friendly and happy place to work, where your hard work is recognised and appreciated. Working for a local company where you are more than just a number is great. I love what the company has to offer so its nice being able to make clients and candidates happy.

Cons

Recruitment is always a competitive industry where you have to work really hard both to win and retain customers. The Covid-19 pandemic is making it harder than ever but I guess that’s the same for all recruitment companies.
