      - cult like teams - favouritism - awful culture - heavy HEAVY and unsustainable workload - data breaches and non transparency to our clients - I can confirm that ANY good review you see here is FAKE

      Thank you for sharing your perspective. The characterisations and allegations in this review are serious. While I won’t engage in debating individual claims or internal matters in a public forum, I do want to address a few points for anyone reading. Scout Talent does not create or encourage fake reviews, and we expect feedback shared on platforms like Glassdoor to reflect genuine individual experiences — positive, negative, or mixed. We also take our obligations to clients and the security of their data extremely seriously and operate with clear governance and accountability in those areas. We recognise that our environment is fast-paced and that the expectations in some roles can be demanding, particularly in the early stages. That intensity will suit some people more than others, and it’s important that candidates have open conversations during the hiring process about workload, expectations, and ways of working. Our aim is always to maintain a professional, respectful workplace where people are supported to succeed. Where experiences differ from that expectation, we reflect on the feedback and continue working to strengthen leadership capability, communication, and clarity across the business. I wish the reviewer well in their next chapter. Andrea CEO, Scout Talent

      A great opportunity for the right person

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Excellent reward and recognition for effort . You get out what you put in, with uncapped earning potential. Very talented colleagues provide support across all departments Every day brings variety and is never boring. Provided you maintain a required level of activity, you can choose your own adventure, concentrating on industries/roles that you may have a passion or natural attraction for, then mix things up and diversify to keep your interest up. It's very rewarding work when you help clients achieve success in growing their workforce, through your efforts, strongly supported by relevant specialists and teams. Good prospects to move sideways or upwards, to gain experience and grow your skill-set in other departments.

      Cons

      The base salary is relatively low but good commission is there for the taking. It's up to you. Whilst the first 12 mths can be challenging, as you build your client base, strong sales skills, and perhaps some financial backing, will help you through the early days. It's not an easy role, but would you really want easy? There are challenging times to get through, to reach your potential and forecasts so it takes persistence and endurance, that will not suit everybody. The sales role doesn't suit those who are uncomfortable speaking with all levels of management or who lack confidence in oral and written skills but good communicators, who love 'talking the talk' will thrive. Whilst strong teamwork exists, you need to also be able to work independently, be self-motivating and just get on with it. Don't take a prospect's rejection personally as some are open to assistance and others are not...move on from a 'no' to the next 'yes'!

      Thanks for sharing your thoughtful and practical perspective - especially given you're someone with long-standing experience in the business. You've captured the reality of our sales environment well: it's demanding, varied, and very rewarding for people who enjoy autonomy, momentum, and the satisfaction of helping clients grow. The balance between independence and strong cross-team support is something we work hard to maintain, and I'm pleased to see that reflected here. You're also right that the role isn’t easy, particularly in the early stages. We’re upfront that success requires resilience, strong communication skills, and consistency - and that it won’t suit everyone. For those who do lean in, the opportunity to build deep capability, strong relationships, and meaningful earning potential is real. Thank you as well for the suggestion around salary packaging. I'll take this on board and ask someone in our team to look into options. I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and for the contribution you continue to make at STG. - Andrea, CEO

      Thank you for sharing your perspective and for your long-standing contribution to Scout Talent. I’m pleased to hear that the flat leadership structure and recognition for effort have been part of your experience. We’ve always believed that people should feel close to decision-making and able to have a real impact, rather than operating within an “ivory tower” hierarchy. You’re also right that success require persistences. Results don’t always come immediately, but consistency and resilience make a real difference over time. I appreciate your encouragement around continuing to invest in new products and features. Building and improving our software remains a major focus for us, and feedback like this reinforces the importance of that work. Thank you again for your contribution and for taking the time to share your experience. Andrea CEO, Scout Talent
