Pros

In general working for any agency is hard work and if I'm honest I wouldn't recommend it as a career. I am quite shocked at some of the negative reviews of Eden ascot. As recruitment agencies go they're one of the better ones. Depending on which team you're in, they aren't too bothered about KPIs and targets and do let you get on with it. If you're 100% sure you want a career in recruitment I would recommend Eden Scott but in general recruitment is very out dated, all companies (inc Eden Scott) don't seem to trust employees or give them a lot of flexibility.

Cons

- total boys club. The boys go on holiday with the male directors and get taken away for free 'golf day' but the women Min the company get nothing! - almost all directors don't give you the time of the day unless either 'your face fits' or you're making them lots of money - Don't give you enough chance for personal development - when someone leaves they start bad mouthing them which is totally unprofessional, they can't admit they've done wrong

Thank you for your review, we really appreciate you taking the time. We do agree the recruitment industry is changing, just as others are being disrupted. Digital technology is changing many industries and we have adapted to a changing business environment many times in our 14 years of business and we will continue to adapt. We think our business is reasonably well balanced in terms of gender split. Our board is 40% female and 80% of our top consultants last year were female. Our flat management structure ensures the directors and managers spend time with the team and our corporate golf days are always well received by our clients. Personal development is very important to us as a business. When our consultant develop and increase their skills, we develop as a business and we grow together. We do try and tailor our training to the needs of the consultants but of course we could always do better so we will review how this is working. Being more innovative and having fun is great advice. We are always trying to inject fun into proceedings, our regular monthly drinks (with chilled wine and beer), team parties and nights out are well received. We are also focused on innovating to stay ahead of the competition but as we mentioned at the start it is an ever evolving market place which we are committed to succeeding in. As always we’d be happy to discuss with you offline if you’d like to get in touch.
