Pros

Great office location, awesome team, supportive and collaborative culture, fun and exciting especially this year as we are growing so much across the US markets. It’s my 2nd job in recruitment and hand on heart I think it’s one of the best places to work in Newcastle. There isn’t another company like us up north. Leadership are focused and driven, leading us everyday from the front I mean the top biller is the CSO how inspiring is that, It’s just overall a good place to work and I love being here.

Cons

Erm, ok.. ops sometimes need to work quicker on turning things around, the office windows need cleaning, and it would be great if we could get free parking O and commission paid on invoice like contract not paid when paid for perm.

Pros

Despite the occasional fake or misleading reviews that can appear online from either competitors or ex-employees that were unfortunately sacked for poor performance, the reality is that Samuel Knight has built a reputation as one of the best companies to work for in the staffing sector across the UK and US. What Dan, Steve, and the wider management team have created over the last 13 years is genuinely impressive. They’ve built a business with an energetic, high-performance culture where people are supported, recognised, and given every opportunity to succeed. The company offers uncapped earning potential, clear progression opportunities, and a leadership team that is approachable, invested in its people, and committed to helping employees develop both professionally and personally. The culture is collaborative rather than cut-throat, and there’s a real sense that hard work is rewarded. No company is perfect, but the overwhelming experience for people who genuinely work here is that Samuel Knight is an ambitious, supportive, and rewarding place to build a career.

Cons

Get better at cutting through the crap, hire well and fire even better, sometimes it takes to long to see that someone isn't right for us.. Management are too supportive sometimes, If new hires don't add value within 6 months they aren't right for recruitment
