Pros

Commission structure (while you are there) & social.

Cons

Lacks diversity (look on their website), accepts racist behaviour, base salary starts on £23k, GDPR compliance issues & likely to sack you if you don’t get first promotion within 6 months of starting.

Pros

Nothing - stay well clear, They are cowboy recruiters with no ethics.

Cons

Hamilton Barnes say that they provide a customer focussed solution - they are committed to providing exceptional service to all their clients to help them secure the best talent and opportunities in the market. They help their clients by actively reaching out to their clients employees and trying to find them new roles including poaching from the CEO. I'd stay well clear of Hamilton Barnes, They have no credibility and actively breach the PSL without any regard for the consequences.

Pros

The Jamaican patty shop round the corner

Cons

Where to start… They only seem to hire 18-22 year olds all shipped in from The Prince pub. If you actually want a career in recruitment then avoid this company like the plague. If you’re a girl make sure you’re blonde and attractive and single or they won’t hire you. If you’re guy just make sure you’re 18+. They use an intense interview process where you will do 5-6 in person interviews back to back with different team leads and if you’re successful you will get through to the final boss. If you get through all that, expect to be offered on the same day. They won’t allow any time to deliberate as they explain they have a lot of other people they can offer. You get paid pennies and don’t expect that to change. Make sure you clarify their commission structure and make sure you understand it before you sign your soul away. If you’re young, love to drink, do drugs and recite the same banter passed down by the owners to their little minions every day then definitely sign up. If you have your head screwed on, want to make decent money and don’t want to be surrounded by 18 year old chavs then don’t even bother. Plus they are definitely racist. Was told to not bother speaking to anyone with a Nigerian name, Indian name etc.
