      I worked at Computer People full-time

      Pros

      The staff are friendly and look to help each other. There are good incentives for overachieving or becoming top biller. Good database and ability to reach the active markets. An excellent company to start your recruitment career.

      Cons

      The drive to hit KPI's despite billing figures can detract from the way you run your business. Gaining access to further training can be difficult at times.

      Advice to Management

      Allow each member of staff to take full ownership of their desk if targets are being met and step in if targets are not being met/ beaten.

      Pros

      Will teach you the basics of sales, recruitment, good career progression if you bill well, good database and recruitment tools.

      Cons

      Lack of training, career progression, judged purely on billings, all about the money, very 1980's view of Recruitment, kpi focus, not allowed to be innovative, KPI KPI KPI

      Advice to Management

      Would be good to not have such a focus on P&L's, instead focus on building up employee's, very sink and swim across the board like other Adecco brands

      Pros

      Stable company with a good name in the indusrtry. Good working environments, teams and resources

      Cons

      Can be a bit archaic in the operations. Part of a larger group therefor processes can sometimes not be thought out well

    8. "Horrible environment"

      Commission is good if you achieve it

      I worked at Computer People full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      Loved working here and in some ways, I'll always regret it. Never been rewarded for sales or worked with like-minded people, before or since. Great incentives, I went to Vegas, Monaco and Finland, plus all the big billers lunches in London. Great managers and healthy competition between branches.

      Cons

      Some of the more experienced consultants were able to sit on legacy accounts and perhaps not get the most out of them.

    10. "Great culture and financial rewards"

      I have been working at Computer People full-time

      Pros

      Any recruitment job will be challenging, Computer People are very good at supporting you through the harder times as well as celebrating your success. The career development plan is completely transparent, with real opportunities for regular promotions and pay increases, and the commission plan is market-leading, and very rewarding at the top end. Staff turnover is low for the industry and many consultants have worked for Computer People for over 5 years.

      Cons

      Basic salaries aren't the best, and IT systems could also be improved.
