Premier Group Recruitment Reviews

Pros

Incentives - If you're prepared to work hard, and I mean really hard, then there are plenty of rewards and incentives along the way which you will earn! I've literally been on some of the best incentives that most people can only dream of.

Career - I developed my career from Trainee Consultant through to Business Manager over the course of 10 years, and have my sights set on future promotions. It's not a given, but if you are doing well and determined to develop your career, then there is plenty of opportunity. Initial promotions are based on sales targets (Senior/Lead Con) but after this you have the chance to steer your career in the direction you want, if you have the capability to do so.

Commission - Having worked in recruitment prior to Premier Group, I can tell you that wherever you work, you have to graft for your money. I've put in 15 hour shifts to ensure I'm doing enough business to get to the higher end of the commission structure (30-40%), 11 to 12 hour days as standard. I've earned commission beyond expectations (£12k in a single month), and way beyond what I could have earned at other agencies.

People - The business has a good structure across management, sales, business support and back office. You're never far away from someone who can/will help you, as long as your prepared to ask!

Advice to Management

Keep on investing in the business, technology and the people, you have a good thing going here.

Pros

Flexible hours for back office staff (when you’re allowed to use them)
Free breakfast
Great office and location
Back office join in on some incentives
Company parties

Advice to Management

When you’re paying sales staff as much as you do, don’t forget the little people
Look at the current market and how much they could be paid elsewhere or they won’t hand around
Put in a proper bonus structure if you’re going to pay bonuses, you should make it fair at least and not based on whether the face fits
Generally it was a great team, and nice environment most of the time, work on keeping it that way
Lastly, stop making the parties and nights out forced fun if you make something compulsory it immediately takes some fun out of it!

Pros

Full disclosure of what is expected of you in terms of effort & KPI's right from the start and the support to meet and exceed these
Progression plan mapped out so you know exactly what you need to do to achieve
Internal support from Team Leaders and Managers to develop recruitment skills as well as industry knowledge
Great team environment
The opportunity to earn way more than in other roles with uncapped commission on top of your basic
Being able to become a vertical market specialist and to develop your own key accounts with clients in your area

Advice to Management

Keep on communicating with all employees- everyone loves to be kept in the loop in terms of business goals!

Pros

This is the third Recruitment agency I have worked at - and it is by far the best! Your opinion is actually listened to and valued - even if management do not agree with your idea, they will give you feedback and take it on board, I cannot tell you how important that is in a job like this.
Everyone is on first name terms in the company, from trainees through to directors. It is like a family feel.
Your hard work and efforts are constantly rewarded - even a simple email from the MD or director saying well done, none of these things go unnoticed.
It's a good fun place to work!
The commission structure, and all of the other benefits - down to the PT sessions and breakfast everyday!!

Advice to Management

Carry on listening to your staff!

Pros

Great place to work and a great work/life balance. Team fit is very important when hiring so leads to a good morale in the office. Rewarded monthly, quarterly and yearly on performance such as monthly lunches at Michelin star restaurants and quarterly and yearly trips to Vegas and New Orleans

Pros

Commission structure, Christmas and summer parties, quarterly incentives and yearly incentives but you’re told as a new starter you can easily go on these incentives. You can’t

Advice to Management

Review business structure and senior staff. Would not recommend to anyone.

Pros

I worked at Premier for nearly 5 years, and I will always look back at my time there very positively.
I started as a trainee and worked my way up to Team Leader level. I was lucky enough to enjoy some amazing experiences along the way, including holidays to Dubai, Miami, Barcelona and others, along with trips to some of the best restaurants in the country.
Premier are all about rewarding success and excellence. I have read some of the negative reviews on this site from people who have left, and it annoys me to read about things such as 'long hours' or 'bad work life balance'. Everyone at Premier understands what is expected of them, and it's no surprise that so many excellent consultants have been with them for many years.
I always had a very good relationship with the management team, Andrew W, Ben and Andrew T. They are all extremely dedicated and ambitious people who genuinely want the company and its staff to be the best, and I have the upmost respect for all of them.
I am in no doubt Premier will continue to grow and succeed, because of the number of great people behind it. A truly great company to have been a part of.

Pros

Always made to feel very welcome whatever office you visit. I've been on a few of the incentives myself so they defiantly can be achieved and when your on them you get treated like royalty within the company! All round a good company to work for - does what it say on the tin!

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you do! The training is great!!

Pros

Fun environment, Team support and incentives!
Great earning potential for those for are willing to work for it.

Pros

Warm welcome by all the employees (all 4 offices) at the Summer Party which I was invited to after just 4 days.

IMPACT training thorough and detailed. Not pushed into the role without having confidence in what I was doing.

Supported by fellow colleagues, obvious progression structure with every senior / team leader being promoted within the company.

Family like environment, invited to lunches, pool games, nights out from before I even started.

Incentives and commission structures are clear and achievable. Regularly see colleagues 'banging in deals'. Flat screen TV's showing daily success stories.

Offices have break out areas which is vital for the recruitment environment. You are encouraged to use these to let your hair down.

Advice to Management

They are always visible and approachable.
