Pros

Competitive commission structure There are still a few collaborative, friendly consultants who behave with a good level of integrity

Cons

- Led by an MD who lacks leadership skills and gravitas, and hadn't worked in a leadership role, in a consultative business like EMR previously - Previously an organisation that would pride itself on hiring consultative individuals with recruitment or industry experience, or both. More recently there is a focus on bringing on graduates and hiring for growth rather than skills, then putting them in front of clients, and hoping for the best. This has damaged the brand - I have personally come across several clients that worked with EMR and now no longer want to use them for their recruitment. - Consultants are managed by KPIs - there is a heavy focus on call times, CVs sent and candidates met. This is how the business will measure your success if you are a consultant at any level. - There are issues with drug use, bullying and sexual harassment. I have witnessed all three of these first hand.

Pros

EMR was a great place to work. Managers and Senior Consultants are very approachable and always have the time to help and give advice. The different teams are very collaborative in regards to clients and candidates. The commission structure is very rewarding. When I changed teams I had a great start and then had 3 months where I didn't bill. I wasn't made to feel like the pressure was on, my manager and management above could see I was doing the right things and working hard and this turned around in the following months. The KPI's and targets are very achievable and come with doing your work. The work environment is professional while having a very fun social element too. I referred one of my long term friends to EMR and would do it again.

Cons

I didn't experience any downside to working at EMR.

Pros

Used to be a great brand and business before it was taken over by inexperienced amateurs.

Cons

Boys club, some staff (including managers and directors) regularly get off their face, hardly any people with actual decent experience and it's like working in a circus, MD has no respect for women. One or two good people still there who should get out quick. The new management have destroyed what was an outstanding brand.

EMR Recruitment Response

Thanks for taking the time to write your review. We appreciate all feedback and are always aiming to improve how we operate. EMR underwent an extensive repositioning in 2015/2016 and sadly a number of people moved on as a result. However, from the end of 2016 onwards we have successfully developed a holistic sales culture through listening to employee feedback – we’ve introduced greater flexible working practices and have invested more in external training at all levels of the business, including leadership. We are delighted with our recent hires and take pride in our retention rate this year of over 90%. As a business we are going from strength to strength and are more profitable than anytime in our 24 year history. Sorry to hear you have had such a poor experience of EMR - providing a happy and productive working culture where talent can thrive is extremely important to us. Serrol Osman, MD.
