Pros

Used to be supportive, really good values, looked after its staff. Recruitment is a very tough career and there will always be hard times and times to be resilient but it used to feel like a team pulling together and there was a sense of pride. No longer the case…

Cons

The atmosphere now is one of cliques and favouritism and in quite a few cases down right bullying. There is the most demotivating system where even if you bill load as a temp operator via contracts but not temp placements you end up in a performance chat. The atmosphere has changed significantly.

Pros

Great place to grow your career—there’s a clear path to advance and strong professional development. The culture is very team-oriented, with people who support and push each other to succeed. High energy in the office makes it an engaging environment to be in every day. Great leadership that’s supportive and invested in your success.

Cons

Commission can be challenging to earn early on due to ramp-up targets, but this is offset by a strong base salary. As you gain experience and consistently perform, the opportunity to earn commission increases significantly.
