Thank you for your review of your time at Digital Waffle, however, the timing of this review does seem odd. We haven't had anyone leave the business since August and this review has been posted at the end of December. We agree our people are lovely, Digital Waffle has grown the team to ensure our principles and practices from Day 1 have remained the same. However, we disagree with the notion of lack of training. Over the past 2 years, we have invested in the leading Recruitment LMS (Recruitment Mentors) to supply our staff with online training, whilst also holding weekly group training sessions / workshops for the practical application of skills. We have a zero KPI environment as every single person that works for Digital Waffle are unique individuals, and as such, develop at different rates. This mindset allows our consultants to have the freedom to learn and improve at their own speed - however, this ultimately comes down to each consultants own motivation to want to take on board the necessary information via the aforementioned approaches.

Pros

The culture at Digital Waffle is great if you like going out drinking and socialising. The monthly incentives are always a laugh and you get to do things you wouldn’t normally do. Good commission structure with no threshold! The work/life balance is really good with you being able to work from home 2 out of the 5 days per week. Generally a relaxed atmosphere.

Cons

The lack of training, the main training platform used is Recruitment Mentors which is purely a video platform where you are made to watch hours worth of training videos when you first start and then that’s your training done. I wouldn’t work here if you’re just starting out in recruitment because you’re expected to hit the ground running with little help and guidance. The atmosphere in the office at times can be quite tense and awkward. It is becoming very KPI driven and micromanaged with you being told what’s expected of you per day and the figures and productivity are tracked daily and discussed regularly. It seems easier for them to tell you what you’re doing wrong and what you’re not doing enough of rather than asking you how they can help and offering you a solution

Thanks for your review of your time at Digital Waffle and the Pros you have highlighted. Although, we have to disagree with the Cons you have mentioned. You're correct, an element of training is provided by the Recruitment Mentors platform. However, you have failed to mention the group training sessions on Thursday combined with regular 1-2-1s with Team Leads and Directors of the company. The combination of formats we apply to train staff has a proven track record for employees passing probation and becoming an integral part of the team. To this day, the only KPI given to our consultants is their Annual Sales Target. We give individuals the freedom to work as they wish, find their own way to win business, and fill roles without the need for arbitrary KPIs you have to hit to feel like you're doing your job. When it comes to the atmosphere and the monitoring of performance - that is just a sales environment, it won't always be sunshine and roses. As we don't monitor KPIs for "Calls Made", "CVs Sent" and "Interviews Booked" - we have to ask what people are doing so we know where your business is at and can offer support if required. We're sorry you feel this way about your time at Digital Waffle and we understand that the freedom & benefits we offer our employees doesn't suit everyone.

Pros

Great team spirit, lovely people, and not a pressured/KPI driven environment. Excellent and clear comms, and great support and help always on hand from Senior team members/management.

Cons

None - Only left due to a change of industry, if I were to stay in the recruitment industry I would have stayed.
