Henderson Scott Reviews

Pros

We're creating something truly special in the Liverpool site and every single colleague is a critical component of that. We're building a blended culture of focus, hard work and results coupled with an upbeat, fun, infectious (not covid related!) environment. My experience is that everyone's voice matters in Liverpool, our director is exceptionally gifted in creating a positive sales environment and his approach is tailored to getting the best out of and for the individual. We are attracting some of the industries best performers as we scale which provides fantastic peer learning opportunities. The systems available from Henderson Scott are fantastic and our back-office knowledge in high growth areas like SOW is both refreshing and reassuring as we push forward.

Cons

Like all business covid-19 mandated a number of changes/adjustments this coincided with a wider group restructure, I think with hindsight some aspects of this could have been better communicated, however these were extraordinary circumstances and I do feel we are all better prepared as a result of the learnings taken.

Pros

Work hard and have fun culture, clear career path, great incentives and Comms structure, autonomous management but there is always support if you need it. Constant investment in new systems, office environment and the people.

Cons

Amersham is a bit out the way so you have to drive if you want to work in that office but there are other offices in London, Liverpool and Edinburgh.

Pros

Excellent 1-1 management with highly successful people, including the CEO (founder) who still sits on the sales floor, saying hello to EVERYONE and giving top level advice Relaxed yet driven culture Fair incentives and opportunities to everyone to achieve Excellent name in the Tech industry with established clients

Cons

The cold water fountain couldn’t pour any slower!

Pros

The free parking permit, genuinely all I can think of.

Cons

Commission Scheme - Embarrassing Office Culture is poor Treatment of Staff - No sympathy Lack of Career progression Management lack skills within recruitment - Practice Leads billing less than Junior Consultants

Pros

I have been working for Henderson Scott for 12 years and have progressed from an Administration Manager through to COO. This has been largely possible because of the support I have received from my managers throughout my career at Henderson Scott, and my belief that I was working for a company that truly had my best interests at heart and these included not only my career aspirations, but my personal interests also. Throughout my career I have always been offered progression and pushed outside my comfort zone to achieve successful outcomes on the journey as Henderson Scott has never once stayed still since I first joined; it is a dynamic, innovative and forward thinking company that welcomes change, adapts fluidly to changing market conditions and prides itself on its success and quality. The staff employed are no different and we actively seek those who want to exceed, are well rounded, dynamic and innovative individuals therefore surrounding myself with truly exceptional people on a daily basis has motivated me to exceed in my own career. Henderson Scott constantly assess the market to make sure that to attract the best they offer the best and this is something that drives the leadership team as we truly value our exceptional workforce and thus feel it is important to reward them accordingly. And this is true of our sales team, but also of the back office teams that I have been so heavily involved in since my start. Back office are integral to the success of any company as are the sales teams, and both our back and front office teams have a great deal of respect for each other which is something we feel is very important for a harmonious and efficient workplace. It is something I am delighted to have enjoyed throughout my career with Henderson Scott and is something I intend to ensure is maintained as we progress to the next phase of our journey. All things considered, I have developed my career with Henderson Scott because throughout my time here I have been treated as an individual and not just a cog in a wheel. I am valued for my qualities, and offered training and improvement to ensure I am continually developing. My personal priorities have also shifted during my time with Henderson Scott as I have had 2 children since I started and I have truly felt supported to enjoy a rich family life whilst still achieving my career aspirations and progression. Now I am a member of the senior leadership team I feel it is my duty to ensure the same high standards of support, management and career development is offered to the workforce whilst we embark on the next exciting chapter of the Henderson Scott story.

Cons

Every business has cons but I hope that where we identify a con we work to improve it. I would say that at Henderson Scott we do expect the best and our staff are all generally high performers. Therefore, there is pressure to match this which whilst most view this as a pro as it incentivises and motivates them to exceed, others may view this as a con as there is very little room to hide a poor performance. Having said this though, we do offer support and training to ensure that all staff are given the tools and support to achieve.

Pros

Great working culture- people are very down to earth but successful in their remits. Client relationships are very long term focused, HS has a strong value proposition.

Cons

Haven't found any cons as of yet
