Sanderson Reviews

There was no room for progression you weren’t encouraged to progress it almost seemed like they didn’t want you to. Unless you were recruiter you are not appreciated whatsoever by senior management. Recruiters were happy to speak to our team in a rude manner and seemed to have no idea what we did. The pay was poor and the bonus that used to be good just got less and less each year. To the point where there was no Christmas bonus at all this year(they didn’t tell us this until after we had our reviews) . The office atmosphere is depressing encouraged to sit in silence. Had some days where I spoke to no one all day. Overall I would not recommend Sanderson as a company to work for. The company is out of touch with the cost of living, difficult to afford living in Bristol on their wages. Also the way women are spoke about from the recruiters is old fashioned and disrespectful.

Working hours are 9-6. Would be nice to finish at 17:30. No dress down days or flexible working times. Starting salary is £16k and took me a couple years for it to go up to £18k even though it should have changed after 6 months. Any request for a higher salary after that is met with "make more placements and you'll get more money". Computers are slow and sometimes we can't login to the job boards to search for candidates as there isn't one login per recruiter. Pension and benefits are non existent. Commission is less than other organisations - if you don't bring on the work you will only get 5% of the amount billed. No career progression. It's recruitment or admin here.
