Torii Consulting Reviews

Despite some very attractive pros, I would recommend reaching out to any of Torii's previous employees for feedback on the realities of working for this business. You would be hardpressed to find someone who would recommend it - it sounds like over the lifetime of the business, there would be varying reasons behind this but here are mine The main thing is Leadership. This is a company which has been set up by someone who previous to setting up Torii has no leadership experience and also had not dabbled with the large corporates as they are attempting to now. This has meant a real journey for him in terms of growing as a leader and it felt like this was going well but there was definitely a gap in terms of BD and understanding the big businesses he was focusing on opening up. Que the new BD hire. I was part of hiring a BD person for the business that was supposed to be charged with opening new business and help the company transition into a true consultancy (we hired a BD person from a consultancy without recruitment experience). We found someone who seemed great but when he joined the business it seemed he had no idea what he was doing. He doesn't understand recruitment and doesn't want to dabble in it. It seemed to me he had no clue what he was doing so focused on zoning in on process and what the existing employees were doing and poking holes in that. While I welcome any help in terms of helping us grow as individuals (and that was partly why I was so excited to get this person on) it became clear he really had no clue about recruitment itself and how to develop our service offering for those clients who are still engaging us for recruitment processes. He repeatedly talks about how everything is so transactional but fails to demonstrate how to take it passed this apparently "transactional" business. Once on the ground, I saw no true BD work and feel he changed the scope of the business to suit him because he truly doesn't have the capability to build out new business or really even a consultancy within an organisation that does not have a clear mission. I interviewed with a company who had dealt with him in his job search and was told by them he made it clear he didn't want to do sales (BD essentially) and that makes complete sense now. That's fine but now he's overcomplicating things that don't need to be complicated and can't seem to set out very clear growth plans or if he thinks there’s a gap in someone's skillset, he is not very clear with teaching us how we can improve the way we can improve as both individuals or as a business (because I don't think he knows - he's floundering) I would also make sure you really question the accounts and how they actually engage with those businesses, right down to the previous work they have done with that business. Grill them on what they will expect you to do in your new role capacity too. I was hired in an Account Manager (and made it clear I am not a new business person) capability but they really needed a BD person. The account they hired me to account manage, they did not actually have a real agreement with so they needed someone who has the capability to open up new business/get procurement agreements with large corporates with rigid procurement. There are a number of other things I could mention but this really captures the main pain points. The leadership really needs some work and I believe that if we made the right BD hire, we'd be in a much better position. Be wary. Ask a lot of questions. Do your research. Ask people who have finished up about their experiences.
