Great learning ground, but work culture might not suit everyone

Anonymous Employee (Former Employee)

I worked at SThree

ProsGreat learning ground - especially for recruiters who are new to the trade, highly developed recruitment system/tools, you can't help but get better/develop quickly in a highly competitive environment

ConsMicro-management culture, management lack emphathy, low base salary and unrewarding commission scheme, work-life balance is almost non-existent

Advice to Senior ManagementIf you want to be successful in Asia, you need to first understand the culture and way people do business here.

A rewarding job in an energized environment , although challenging at times

I have been working at SThree

Pros- organic growth and plans for the region means you get promoted faster than at other places
- the rewards! huge earning potential for an entry level position, holidays and lunch clubs
- the people and working environment- they hire a certain type of people normally those who can work hard and play hard, so you get to hang around with people of your own kind
- training is great for someone without recruitment experience
- management is inspiring and committed to growth plans

Cons- steep learning curve
- you need to be results oriented and target driven otherwise you won't enjoy working towards kpis

Advice to Senior ManagementMore communication
