RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI 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.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI worked at Computer People full-time for more than 5 years
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
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.
