I worked at Instinct Resourcing full-time
Pros
I worked at Instinct for nearly five years and enjoyed every minute of my time there! I joined the company with no prior recruitment experience but was able to hit the ground running very quickly after being trained and coached by both Directors, who were very hands-on and involved in developing their staff and had expert knowledge of the sector that the company specialises in.
Over time, Matt & Mike developed a friendly, relaxed company culture, with a strong set of values, where everyone knew what was expected of them on a daily basis, so there was no micro-management. Throughout my time there, they continued to be on hand to provide advice and guidance and were really passionate about growing the company from within and developing you as a person, as well as an employee. You were also given the freedom to choose how you wanted your career to develop.
The rest of the team were also a pleasure to work with and everyone got on very well. By the time I left, the team were consistently achieving personal and team incentives, which led to a number of trips abroad, award ceremonies and weekends away, all expenses paid!
I left Instinct due to a relocation and was fully supported by both Directors, who helped make a stressful process a lot easier through their help and flexibility, which I'm extremely grateful for.
Cons
Due to an abundance of sweet treats that are constantly in the office, it may be difficult to maintain a healthy BMI...
Application
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Instinct Resourcing in February 2019.
Interview
My interview was surprisingly informal and not all like what i'd heard recruitment company interviews were like. The managers were polite and personal and asked lots of questions not only about my experience but about my education, hobbies and life away from work.
