I worked at Robert Half full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
I worked in the Leeds office of Robert Half for 4 years, and thoroughly enjoyed my time there. The best element of the Leeds office is the people, who yes work hard, but also try and make each day a positive working environment. The management structure is based upon merit and experience, with senior managers always present in the office to support teams. The Leeds office also benefits from an excellent sales support team who do
a huge amount to assist the recruitment consultant teams. The director of the Leeds office was actively involved with each employee, and invested a lot of time supporting me during my time there.
I received excellent training during my time, and the company has also recently invested in upgrading its software and hardware to improve working efficiency.
I thought this was a great place to work, and would happily recommend tomanyone interested in a career in recruitment.
Cons
Occasional long hours, but standard for the recruitment industry
Advice to Management
Keep investing time in people as you did with me, and encouraging a happy working environment
Application
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Robert Half (Reading, England) in April 2011.
Interview
I made an appointment with the recruitment agent to discuss my CV and the types of roles and salary I was looking for.
After introductions and pleasantries, the agent ran through my curriculum vitae asking questions about each of my previous roles.
I was asked about my current situation and what roles and pay I was looking for.
The agent said he would contact me if anything suitable arose.
Interview Questions
Negotiation
A discussion about desired rates of pay and what the market/employers were willing to pay with emphasis on the opportunity to be able to earn money versus the employer choosing someone else who is prepared to do the job for less money.
