Change Recruitment Group Reviews

Pros

Great location, some hard working and ethical people onboard, commission scheme was OK, working flexibility as don't really care what you do (because management don't)

Cons

Your 'face has to fit', work ethic is irrelevant and not valued, the Management and McFall (not sure what he actually does) are bullies

Pros

Good team feel and success was celebrated within teams. Good competitive vibe and you were supported to deliver your role. Mark Mcfall is still the best ever CEO I have worked for.

Cons

Expected to be in first and out last.

Pros

Culture is great, nice people lots of support

Cons

none really, its a great company

Pros

I worked for Change for 18 months as a consultant within accountancy and finance perm. It’s a great place for experienced consultants to work in a truly grown-up environment. You are 100 per cent accountable for your desk and it has a real franchise feel to it. The markets they cover are long established recruitment markets and if you are prepared to grit your teeth and play the long game there is the opportunity to make great money. Aside from earning potential one aspect that makes the company great is the leadership. Working in other recruitment companies leadership roles tended to go to those who could bill a lot but might be lacking in people management and leadership, change has avoided this well. The management style from likes of Mark Wilson, Ibi Kabir, Mark McFall and Gordon Hutchison is far superior to what I have experienced elsewhere. They all have a “No nonsense” approach to recruitment and will actively coach/train if you are potentially not hitting the mark.

Cons

A bit of a “we have always done it this way” approach to work processes, technology. Could do with improving their systems to bring them in line with the competition, also could easily automate a lot of their compliance processes to reduce paperwork.

Pros

Worked for 5 years now at Change Recruitment. Don't regret it Excellent working atmosphere and staff are looked after by Managers who care in General. i am trusted to work on my own and make decisions.

Cons

The turnover of staff until the last 18 months wasn't good. There is a real team bond now across all departments in Edinburgh
