Talentful Reviews

-literally zero benefits. Standard holiday, minimum pension, no health care, no flexibility, really diabolical salaries. You get a Mac but this is because you have to have this in order to work at your client site (nobody in any situation is allowed to work from home). -brown nosing. Cliquey. -people only get promotions and pay rises when their client wants to buy them out (which happens quite regularly). -no different to a stereotypical recruitment agency which is proven with incentives for top billers (whoever makes the most placements), early Friday finishes based on hitting target, prizes for top billers. They say they aren’t an agency yet they boast about being nominated for the best large agency? Doesn’t make any sense -NPS is a scam, purely a marketing campaign. They don’t care about added value, it’s all about making as many placements as possible. -no trust, no autonomy, no listening to employees which you can see is starting to have an impact… loads of people leaving. -you could possibly get stuck with a really bad client which I have seen talent partners have to endure... ultimately has led to some people quitting -toxic environment. founders are very egotistical. -HR aren't great, don't handle situations very well at all

Inexperienced leadership who have lost trust from most employees based on how tough, complex market challenges have been handled. Mismanaged communications, finances, layoffs, etc. 5+ rounds of layoffs later and there is still no strategy or end in sight. CEO has the worst emotional intelligence I've ever experienced. Zero transparency, defensive in all hands conversations, lack of appreciation for folks trying to keep the business afloat, doesn't listen to his exec team. If you haven't worked with him since the beginning, you are insignificant. Protection for those who are "friends" with leadership is blatant and they see themselves as invincible. Even though times are tough and most people understand there is no way to provide raises or incentives, there is literally nothing else going on to make up for it (no culture building, no recognition, no out of the box thinking to show employees they are valued, etc). Engagement surveys stopped the second layoffs began and with so much change it is wild that no feedback is collected from management because "they already know how bad it is, why do they need to see it in black and white". One of the worst managed companies I've ever worked for.
