Pros

Having been in the business for around 2 years a few points come to mind: - The growth/earning potential for those coming straight out of university to ahead of most industries. - Life Sciences certainly provides not only an interesting industry, but one with far larger fees than seen across other recruitment industries. - Largely 360 recruitment - Great company culture, that is also inclusive. The business take care in putting you into the correct team, each with their own but strong culture. That being said, across the board, there is somewhat of a company wide culture. Little drama and the large majority of people have built strong friendships branching outside the workplace. - Diverse workplace, you'll be hearing all sorts of languages on the floor! Pride month events and frequent diversity and inclusion meetings based on feedback from employees. - Strong commissions schemes from the start, only gets better. - Quick opportunity for promotion. - Very commitment learning and development department, with ongoing training across any seniority.

Cons

- Can be a slow start, however, you get out what you put in. It is largely down to personal commitment to the role, luckily support is always there. - Work hours can be long, however, this ties in with the above. - I believe a large majority of issues around the physical office, culture and incentives has recently been sorted. Those joining now will join a much better business than the one I saw a few years back.

Pros

Leadership was helpful in the training they provided. You learn the job the best when doing it. Colleagues are very welcoming, and want to you help you. Leadership really wants you to grow, but it just doesn't seem feasible in the short-term or even with the market.

Cons

Management talks about growth and making commission, but that could take years before one is seeing any significant money. Base salary pays more then other recruitment agencies, but it is still not substantial. Management can be passive aggressive when you don't pick up the job quickly. There is toxic energy in this company when others don't get along.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I am pleased to hear that you found our training helpful and that your colleagues and leadership team were welcoming and supportive. We’re committed to fostering an environment where everyone feels encouraged to grow and succeed. I also appreciate your candid feedback regarding compensation, career progression, and aspects of our culture. While we aim to offer competitive base salaries and clear paths to commission, we recognise that market conditions and individual ramp-up times can vary. We continuously review how we support new consultants in their early months to ensure expectations are aligned and progress is achievable. Regarding your concerns about management style and team dynamics, I take this seriously. Our aim is to maintain a culture of respect, collaboration, and transparency. If there are behaviours or sentiments that fall short of this, I want to understand and address them. Your feedback helps us improve, if you’re open to a further conversation, I would welcome the opportunity to learn more. Many thanks, Carl
