Pros

Colleagues are friendly and the other consultants were a good bunch. Offer an ok salary with good earning potential in commission.

Cons

Not a good option for a grad or trainee consultant. No structured training, the majority of managers had no management training just consultants that worked their way up. Team leads/managers speaking rudely to you, they got annoyed if you asked questions, you are expected in a short amount of time to pick up 360 recruitment and if you dont you are fired. You get put on a desk and thrown in the deep end as it felt the team leaders were too busy to train you and if you needed their time you are a burden. The advice is to call candidates and ask questions to work out a technical market on your own - no wonder recruiters get a bad rep!

Thanks for your review. We take all feedback, positive and negative, very seriously. At IC Resources, we feel it’s important to have clear career progression routes for all our consultants, as our staff retention rate proves. It’s unfortunate that you found the environment wasn’t good for a grad or trainee – because, as you rightly pointed out, most of our seniors, team leaders and managers have all worked their way up via this route. Also, we do make a point of not ‘micro-managing’ so that everyone feels autonomous in their individual roles and can shape their futures as they want. This works incredibly successfully for us, but we do appreciate it isn’t right for everyone. It is a shame that we didn’t get to discuss these things with you before you left. Thanks again.

Pros

One of the best things about the company is the people. There are not many places I’ve worked before where I can honestly say I’ve made multiple friends for life. Everyone is supportive, very knowledgable in what they do and that fosters the ideal environment for me to progress in my career. The commission structure is also one of the best I know of, so all that hard work really does pay off, continually, but it does take focus and a determined mind to get to that point. Recruitment isn’t an easy ride and it isn’t for everyone, which management have always been transparent about but I really wouldn’t work anyone else given the choice.

Cons

Work / life balance, but that’s more of a con to working in recruitment than IC Resources.

Not a Great business

Pros

Not many, offices are OK, socialising is good, particularly if you are in a leadership role.

Cons

Presurised and no work life balance, dull on a good day, leadership should decide to lead by example and not by talking it up. Do as you say not as you do. Not brilliant at communicating direction of travel, limited consideration for the market and respect of candidates. Not great training and opportunity looking slim.

Thank you for your review. We can assure you that we take all comments, positive and negative, very seriously. We work hard to ensure that every consultant has a clear career progression path and understands the thresholds to hit to achieve promotion. We welcome feedback from across the business at all times and hold one-to-ones with directors on a monthly basis to ensure that everyone gets the opportunity to express any concerns or discuss new ideas. It’s a worry that you may not be happy in your role and we are therefore keen to address any issues you may have. We will always offer additional training / support to all our employees where needed.
