Supportive and Competitive, a Family-Oriented Atmosphere
Pros
This role at Celeris Partners for the last 4 years (2018 -2022) offers an environment that is fast-paced, engaging, and interactive in a way that you can really miss out on by joining a establish firm. One of the best parts of the job is that the office is small in numbers (around 10 at the end of October 2022), but operates like a large firm, so you are able to be one-on-one Senior-level recruiters all-day-every-day. They offer a lot of flexibility, Some recruiters work from home 4 days per week if they don't live in Kent but overall, all the team enjoy 3 days working from home. The compensation is very competitive with a high basic salary and a clear structure commission on a quarterly and yearly basis. Additionally, management is always looking for our recommendations, or input, on company incentives to improve our lives in and out of work. I think this feature shows how valuable each employee is to them, and it makes coming to work and producing for our management team that much more rewarding. The Manager insists that everyone meet to activities quota.
Cons
There are not many negatives to this job, only that the industry itself is very cyclical. In recruiting, there are high highs and low lows. It can be difficult when a group at the office is underperforming because it affects everyone. But it comes with the territory of the industry in a small, private firm.
