Pros

I really liked working with the coworkers. Everyone was so helpful and supportive. It was not competitive environment like some recruitment agencies.

Cons

Lots of company politics because it's a family owned business. So if you're part of the family, you will have a great career. Yes, they are transparent on the commission structure, but they also change the structure all the time. It's not stable. Rules change all the time, which is understandable for an early stage-startup but this company is a LATE stage startup so I believe they should standardize the work process better. They've had about 5 years to understand how the business works. Treats recruitment like selling a car, you're dealing with people. Not inanimate objects. Very transactional relationship with the employees. You didn't bill high enough this quarter? Oh ok I'm going to make your life miserable. They like to find faults and mistakes in your work. It wasn't a great motivation tool, it made me want to quit even more. The kpis were not very achievable, especially during the pandemic. They don't have a big client database, that's why they're so caught up on "cold calling" new clients. They don't believe in using LinkedIn but using a very amateur customized database they are proud of.

Pros

I’ve been working here as an Advisor, and what stands out most is how genuinely people-focused the company is. It’s not just something they say, it’s actually reflected in how the team operates day to day. There’s a strong sense of trust and autonomy. You’re encouraged to take ownership of your work, but at the same time, there’s always support when you need it. The leadership team is approachable and open, which makes a big difference. I also appreciate the collaborative culture. Even though everyone is busy, people are willing to share insights and help each other, rather than working in silos. It creates a positive and motivating environment.

Cons

As the company is still growing, processes and structures are sometimes evolving. This can occasionally lead to a bit of ambiguity, especially for newer team members. That said, if you’re someone who is comfortable in a flexible environment and can adapt, it’s not a major issue.

Pros

Diverse and international staffing with a friendly and lighthearted environment. Office location is very convenient with fantastic facilities allowing for team or individual work flexibility. Staff are allowed to build their own client base and there is a lot of cross-pollination across industry teams for BD.

Cons

Lack of any flex-time or remote work may not be ideal for some family situations.
