Wolf in sheep's clothing - Anonymous employee Empiric Employee Review

Thank you for sharing your experience of working with us. We are pleased that you highlighted features such as our excellent salary and commission structure as well as our flexible working hours which have been created to give employees a greater work/life balance compared to many other recruitment agencies. Your point about Next Tech Girls is inaccurate though. Next Tech Girls is a CSR initiative designed to get more school girls interested in a future career in tech which we have invested a lot of financial resources into getting it established within the community. We are immensely proud of that fact that in the last few years we have facilitated over 800 school girls into technology work experience opportunities with private and public sector companies. Unashamedly we hope that our relationships with clients improves by doing more than simply offering a recruitment service. Through Next Tech Girls we believe the way we choose to differentiate ourselves makes a genuine difference to future school girls careers and to the sector as a whole. Part of our Consultants role is to speak to our clients and these senior managers are often potential candidates so it is common practice to discuss potential opportunities that may be of interest to them. But there is no benefit to us or them to be dishonest in these conversations. Empiric is a Company that enjoys year on year growth in revenues, with sales of over £50m it’s clear that many of our consultants contribute to this success and in turn we are proud to say that many consultants earn very well. We have a very open culture within Empiric which is reflected in our clear and transparent commission and reward scheme. All career progression is based on individual performance so we take any indecencies of favouritism seriously and this is something that will be raised internally. We are genuinely sorry that your experience to Empiric wasn’t a positive one so please get in contact with us at info@empiric.com if you would like to discuss in confidence any of the points you have raised further.
