You’re a number - Recruitment Consultant Oscar Recruit Employee Review

We all understand the business was struggling and we all understood due to this, cuts needed to be made. What Oscar don’t understand is HOW they went around this. The support team were made redundant and the managing director was no where to be seen. Not at any point where these people thanked, instead when they left they were slandered and we were told they provided nothing to the business. These people grafted for Oscar everyday and wanted the best for the company. I’ve noticed that these people have posted their new roles on LinkedIn, and the managing director can’t even like a post and congratulate them on their new job. Once you leave Oscar, you do not exist. They say they care about employees but actions speak louder than words. You literally sacked people a week before Christmas. Non of these people were given a warning. You have some people commuting 4 hours a day to get into the office 5 days a week when this was something no one signed up for, eventually this will burn your staff out and leave them run down. It’s even worse as these people don’t even need to be in the office this often because they are established recruiters. The only reason why they have to come in is because you made L&D redundant so there is no one else to look after new staff. The career progression at Oscar is great. However once you become senior and get a trainee, you alone will have to train them with no support whilst trying to keep your own desk afloat. If you want to provide your opinion on any of this, don’t because they will say your attitude is wrong and to stop moaning. You could be sacked for it. You will see a lot of good reviews being posted all at the same time. This is because we are being asked to write them. People are scared not to otherwise they will loose their jobs. As you can see so far, the positive reviews are vague To anyone new thinking of joining Oscar- Please remember it is a Rec to Recs job for you to accept the role, don’t believe the excuses they give you around these reviews. If you apply directly do not believe Oscar’s. Remember you are talking to sales people. There are far better companies to join, I know recruitment is a tough gig, but Oscar make that even tougher. Join a company that actually care about you.
