Pros
I have been with Highfield for a year and a half and have nothing but good things to say.
From day one the support given to me has been excellent and put me in the best position to be successful. Fully paid for external & internal courses, regular training and discussions, an existing network of both clients and candidates, and on-the-job support and advice, have all contributed to my achievements so far. I have also had support from my line Director on an individual basis, personally assisting me with my workload when on holiday (and away from the office due to bereavement) to ensure the placements I had lined up would be looked after and secured, which shows the dedication and commitment they have to you and to the business. The level of care and effort put in to this was something I think you’d rarely see elsewhere... Sam is very inspirational - in sporting terms, both “on and off the pitch”. Not only as a manager, recruitment expert and mentor, but also as a positive, driven and courageous person. He strikes a good balance of doing what it takes to get the best out of you whilst also being someone you can really get on with and enjoy learning from.
As a team we’re given a great environment to work in but we also have really good relationships and friendships within the office. Everyone is friendly helpful and bubbly with good banter which makes it easy to settle in from the start, and an enjoyable place to come in to on a day to day basis. The new office is one of the best around both cosmetically and layout/benefits with table tennis, pool table, darts, kitchen/social area, fresh fruit delivery, private parking, meeting rooms, shower, Yoga on Thursdays and a filter coffee machine!
The other thing I would note is that Highfield really do go out of their way to help absolutely everyone bill, and bill well. If you are struggling to hit your targets or finding things difficult you will only been given more help, support, training and guidance to get you on the right track. Some reviews have made out there is high staff turnover - Recruitment is notorious for people coming in and out of the industry but Highfield certainly aren’t one of those companies who “hire & fire”.
Cons
None to note. We have a 'suggestion box' and if there's ever been anything that could be improved upon it's been addressed.
