Pros

The quality of grads taken on meant that there were strong friendships being made.

Cons

Unfortunately, everything you are sold on to join this company is actually the opposite of what it is like. Other than being able to dress casually in the office, everything you do is under scrutiny and will be micro-managed: what time you take lunch, how long you spend over lunch, how many calls you make, the length of your average call, and all your calls are recorded to be brought up at any point for "training" purposes. The senior management is very out of touch with not only what makes employees happy but also the recruitment industry as a whole. A red flag for anyone considering this company is to look at how all the mid-senior members of staff consistently leave in droves every year.

Thanks for the feedback. We want to create a transparent and collaborative environment for everyone that works here, so it is disappointing to hear about your experience. We value and consider all feedback, and continue to find ways to improve and to answer some of your specific points: We have recently made some significant changes in how we work and want to empower our people to develop their careers with us, including new and improved career pathways, promotion criteria and flexitime for a number of people that wanted it. Glad to hear that you made some friendships here and enjoyed the sociable side. I do believe that our people are some of the best in the industry, and are what makes our company special. I would always be keen to speak to people about their experiences here, so please do email me at rogerw@oho.co.uk Roger
