Harnham Reviews

The management team are unrealistic. 12 hour days, ridiculous "targets", key accounts are handed to the boys club, the company is ran by a team of favourites, if you don't identify with them, you'll not progress. The office is in zone 3, don't believe the lies on the website about it being close to London "the place for all the best graduate jobs etc." , Wimbledon is a leafy suburb, and this is not a job worthy of a graduate. You'll be shown through "training", where they will essentially "teach" you how to cold call 500 (give or take) people per week. A well trained space monkey could manage this. Don't believe the lies about data and analytics, harnham, the ludicrous salary expectations, many people you call have never heard of Harnham. As if it's not bad enough hearing your own voice recorded, managers will play back your calls and laugh at you, make out that you are stupid for not knowing the ins and outs of analytics, if you did, then you'd be a data scientist, not an irritating cold caller. Coercing people to take a job through a barrage of emails and phone calls is not a way to make a living. Make sure you know what recruitment is before you fall into this trap. You'll be earning 20k and desperately looking for a way out. But hey, at least you're in London!

-The majority of the positive reviews are clearly written by Harnham and are untrue and do not provide an accurate reflection into the company -Although managers and AD's are friendly a toxic culture can still be seen within the company. Everyone stands up at the exact same time for lunch and you looked at if you stand up a minute early. If you try and leave at 17:30 (the time your contract says you are meant to finish) you get spoken to and again receive dirty looks -The fact that managers and associate directors are friendly would suggest that the toxic culture comes from the managing director who makes no effort to know you unless you're billing triple figures AND stay late every single night -Generally just not the friendliest place to work and the job comes with an incredibly high level of micromanagement -People lie about their KPIs as they aren't checked and get praised for it but if your honest and don't manipulate your stats you don't look good -Will be searching for a new job in recruitment as the money is good but unfortunately Harnham is not a good place to work which is a shame as nearly all of the managers are very friendly and the company is only spoiled by a few money hungry managers that only care about filling their own pockets
