Pros

Great work environment - colleagues are young and smart, most fresh out of college. There's beer on tap in the office so everyone hangs out together. You also get exposure to clients fairly quickly and have the opportunity to meet some incredibly interesting people.

Cons

The hours can be really long and managers expect you to be "on call" 24/7. The growth has been great but this is mainly because the team is overworked and stretched, not sure how sustainable it is. The work can also be repetitive and easy to lose interest if not promoted.

Pros

Rapid Progression & Recognition: Performance is directly rewarded here. If you hit your goals and show drive, the path to promotion and career growth is transparent and fast. Strong Team Culture: The team energy is fantastic. Everyone is highly collaborative, supportive, and commercially minded, which makes for a great working environment. High Autonomy: From day one, you are given real ownership over your projects (like leading recruitment events, managing candidates, and driving partnerships), allowing you to grow your commercial skills rapidly.

Cons

High Velocity & Pressure: The work is very fast-paced with strict timelines and high-volume expectations. It is not a place where you can coast, and you need to be comfortable working under commercial pressure. Resilience is Key: Sourcing and recruiting require a great deal of resilience. You have to be comfortable with rejection and persistent in finding creative solutions to hit your targets.
