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.
