      Pros

      The company culture is outstanding and the care and attention we receive from the Directors and People and culture team is first class. We have a professional network of recruiters that really know their stuff and always support each other.

      Cons

      I have nothing but good things to say about the company

        Pros

        As per the headline, the leadership team and directors truly care about your development & wellbeing and want you to succeed. They do their best to create a positive environment and make sure everyone feels connected to the companies vision. People are also great, some really intelligent and experienced recruiters that you'll learn a lot from. They are growing rapidly and have put together a vision and purpose that brings everyone on that upwards trajectory.

        Cons

        More internal mobility is needed but they are putting in place plans to improve this or at least make it more transparent.

          Amazing team to work with - won't find people like this anywhere. It makes for a great environment!

          There isn't a clear structure

              Pros

              People care - everyone gets behind each other, supporting and celebrating successes and wins. Environment where ideas are welcomed and input is valued - if you think things can be improved you have the platform to make those suggestions. Anyone can get involved and take on more responsibility regardless of position. Good commission structure and potential to earn money - more support than ever before to help us achieve this. Improved processes and support - people are available to help if you just ask.

              Cons

              You will need to work hard. You can't coast your way to success here, it's a small growing company but if you want to work hard and are open to feedback and self improvement you can be successful.

                Pros

                Awesome people! You work with intelligent, driven and ambitious professionals who are also your friends. It's a highly autonomous role, which is great for people who want to prove their ability and worth. Fast progression, responsibility for key client relationships at an early stage and the ability to have an impact on the overall business in more ways than just the day to day role.

                Cons

                Recruitment is an industry that's not for the faint-hearted so you do sometimes have to work those extra hours, but it balances out and there's no forcing.

                  Pros

                  Great culture and an amazing team of like minded people wanting to build something together. The talent of each individual employee always surprised me- it's a team of incredibly hungry high achievers that always go on to do great things. An amazing office overlooking The Shard. So many benefits like flexible working, competitive commission structures and social perks.

                  Cons

                  High stress environment. Apathetic & stubborn leadership.

                    Pros

                    - The team is unbeatable. Really great people who aren't 'typical recruiters'. - A generally supportive, collaborative environment. - Structure is flat and therefore communication within the team is good.

                    Cons

                    - Pay is low, often below London Living Wage. - Non-recruiter team members come second to the recruitment team and there's little understanding of how to manage these other departments. - Fundamental issues are 'swept under the rug' while management focus on short-term wins.

                      Pros

                      The team support, transparency and collaboration going on is simply outstanding. There’s a real genuineness to the people who work here and others are more than willing to give support and advice when you need it. Senior members of the team work together with you to create objectives and development plans and adopt a “leader-leader” style which is such a positively refreshing contrast to how most companies leadership operate. The benefits and perks are also top-notch and there’s an important focus on building a long-term career here!

                      Cons

                      None of note so far!

                        Pros

                        They have a fantastic recruitment team. Firstly the process with Instant Impact and my personal experiemce with Naomi Stewart as amazing recieved lots of support and encouragement. The discovery day was great you get to meet a bunch of people from Octopus Energy all of whom are very friendly and warm. The group task allows you show off you skills and ability and having a interview by current working employee allows for insight into the company and the great culture they have.

                        Cons

                        The process of recruitment is longer than most, however this shows they care and want the right employees working for them.

                      Senior Graphic Designer

                      Hello all- I have a question. Context: I've completed a four-stage interview process for a design position at a large retail corp. The final interview on Nov 15 went very well! I sent thank-you notes that week and last holiday week sent flowers and an edible arrangement, thanking and asking about next steps. They said they have been busy + will reach out soon. It's almost been two weeks. They have been so eager the entire process and now it's quiet. Should I email them again? Is this normal?

                      For anyone who has ever gone through an interview process, only to be told at the end that the role is on hold (due to budget review or such) have you ever actually gotten reached out again with an update? It happened to me today so just wanting to see if it makes sense to just treat this as a rejection even if i was told there might be an update.
