Thanks for taking the time to give us your feedback. Our ambition is to build a truly world class recruitment business here in East Anglia. We love our regional focus and our history here and we have no desire whatsoever to become a London company. However we do aspire to be the best we can be and that means setting high standards for our staff. Not everyone will want to or be able to meet those standards and inevitably some will leave. Simon is very much an integral part of our director team alongside the two of us and Mark. We value his contribution and role in the business and as a team of four we work together to ensure our values are known and lived out in our business. Kind regards, Jane and Charlotte.

Pros

not much to be honest couple of decent consultants

Cons

if you are new to recruitment avoid like the plague. very much a sink or swim attitude. if you're struggling after a couple of months they will do everything they can to fire you. ive seen it happen so many times, disgusting behaviour. the training is non existent - literally. they have a huge problem with team leaders/floor managers in norwich. they're best billers and longest serving members all left at the same time and they promoted a couple of guys that arent ready for management. not their fault really but it's destroying the company. no social aspect at all and the office is depressing. they have a couple of senior consultants that are very egotistical and make it all about them. They're very average and to be honest nasty people. One manager, anyone who has worked there knows who i mean, gives morning pep talks that make you want to walk out the building and recruitment all together. if you're experienced there's money to be made, mostly in IT, but there's better companies to work for in the area. if you're new to recruitment avoid at all costs. if you do decide to join and you're successful its because of you and not the company. apologies if this review has come up twice, nothing personal, but people need to know what a shambles this place is

Pros

Earnt good commission off of my own performance in a cold market.

Cons

I watched people undeservedly getting sacked left right and centre and if you weren't one of their favourite top billers you had to be in the office Monday - Friday being watched like Big Brother. Don't be 1 minute back from lunch or you'll be warned. I was mis sold a 'warm market' which was not the case. Terrible training and they have no long standing relationships with businesses so you are not set up to succeed. They sell you lovely incentive holidays but these are only achievable if you have a warm desk which are already occupied by people that have been there for years, the director will see you the dream but don't believe it The CEO is aggressive who has no reason to be in the office but feels the need to breathe down people's necks and promote a 'perform or be sacked culture'
