Pros

I worked at Gresham Search for over 3 years between 2015 and 2018. Having worked in the industry for almost 10 years before joining I found the ethos of honesty and transparency refreshing. The founder and managing director of the firm is one of the strongest head-hunters in the industry, commercially astute and strategically excellent. Tight cost control and high-performance expectations means that this is a small but cash rich business. Gresham Search has a market leading infrastructure, from the IT systems to the processes in place for training and development. Working at Gresham Search there was a genuine opportunity to take ownership of a business area and earn equity in the business itself. During my time working there I became a better head-hunter through understanding my strengths and weaknesses better. That is a result of honest and transparent appraisal, which is a key strength of the business founder. I have many contacts across the industry and I know I earnt far above the industry standard for my level of performance.

Cons

Not every employee is open to honest and transparent appraisal and not every business founder is a human capital specialist.

Pros

None. Even the high pay is purely hypothetical as the owner treats all salaries as personal costs rather than business expenses.

Cons

CEO - the ability to make money in recruitment does not translate to the ability to run a company. Malicious and insecure on every level. He is the primary reason staff retention has always been the firm's primary issue. Toxic environment - Company is referred to as a start-up, however it has been operating for over 5 years and simply has yet to achieve any level of success. NOT A NEW COMPANY! JUST A POOR ONE
