The more you put in the more you get out - Anonymous employee Barrington James Employee Review

Thanks for taking the time to write a review. We appreciate the honesty. You are indeed correct the more you put in the more you get out. We also have a career path for everyone. If you want to rise through the company quickly, manage a team, open an office overseas, become a Director then that career path is there for you. If you want to stay in one office and grow your niche and bill more and more each year, comfortably earning £150-£250K each year then we have those positions too and will support you as much as you need. I agree that no job is perfect (the island thing would bore me to death) but we try to base our ethos on money, holiday and fun. The job does have its downs as well as its ups. We deal with humans and they can be an unpredictable bunch we are lucky to work in a company where your managers and Directors have all been through it, all felt the pain on a Monday morning when a candidate didn't turn up and all had a 'certain' deal fall out of bed, they know how it feels and will help you through it. Although it has to be said that most of the ability to do this comes from yourself and your inner voice - if you are a negative person then this probably isn't the job for you!! As you know we are working extremely hard to improve our recruitment process from the beginning to end all of our interviews do include a work assessment so that potential candidates can see what they will be doing day to day and we've definitely raised the bar recently. We are currently recruiting an extra 7 internal recruiters to help with this process. If you know anyone wanting to come and find out more send me or Dean Govier our AD of Talent Acquisition your CV or call him for a chat on +44 1293 776644 ( dgovier@barringtonjames.com) We do back our award winning training and very experienced management team to turn hungry, ambitious, motivated, competitive, fun people into top recruiters but unfortunately it just isn't for everyone - if it was easy the rewards wouldn't be so great!! Our growth plans are massive (not on an Apple scale, but massive) this will give you and many like you the potential to carve your own path. We are an entrepreneurial company and if you want to open an office somewhere rather than travel around and write about it if you come to us with a business case and a history with us of achieving we will back you all the way. If you want to create a new brand that is in our 'Core' of Pharmaceutical and Healthcare like Simon Allsop did with our Board and Executive Partners brand to place C-suite people then we will back you. My advice to future employees is as you say - read the title of the review. Come in and have an interview and attend a call assessment. Think long and hard not that you WANT to earn £50K++ in year 1, £90K++ in year 2 and £100K++ beyond that but if you are DRIVEN, MOTIVATED, DETERMINED, HARD WORKING and COMPETITIVE enough to.
