VMR Consultants Reviews

Cons

Too much money to be earnt

Cons

CEO is insane. Expects everyone to change procedures as soon as an idea comes to mind. Hires trainees so he can manipulate them into slave workers. Expectations are insane. KPI leads to people faking call times out of fear.

All good reviews are lies written by himself.

Cons

-Long hours
-Lack of communication from the management side

Cons

The owner is an absolute nut job, sacks people on the spot on a daily basis. Managers hate him and constantly talk about him behind his back, spent the whole time prasing a recruiter who in the actually frauded, then concluded to take it out in he people that was left. If you want to work for a company with a horrible boss and constant walk outs this the place, all training is based on wolf of wall street which is massively cringe and its just an hour of the owner talking absolute rubbish that not one person in the company listened to. AVOID

Cons

CEO models his company on 'The Wolf of Wall Street' it is cringeworthingly pathetic and toxic.

I can guarantee ALL the positive reviews on here have been written by the CEO himself, or someone else in the company that he has blackmailed into doing so.

Literally you will never work at a place as bad as here - people are fired every day, people live in daily fear of keeping their jobs, the CEO is so nasty, he thinks nothing of publicly vilifying an employee for their sexual orientation, disabilities, or any other protected characteristic he can find.

He micro manages every employee's day and you are required to document each day every single 15 minute period in your day.

Hours are 8-7 - which is ridiculous. There is no human element to this job at all... you turn up a few minutes late - gets deducted from your pay - you spend an extra two hours at work? That's deemed as 'expected behaviour'.

Just because the CEO has no life to go home to he expects the same 'commitment' from his employees.

Cons

Focus on one brand when advertising the company

Cons

The bad reviews already speak for themself. Any positive review listed here is written by the CEO himself which is absolutely embarrasing. AWFUL and HORRENDOUS ‘company’ to work for, stay away at all costs. CEO is a disgustingly toxic person. Horrible horrible company, i am so supprised it is has not been shut down yet. I feel sorry for those who have been targeted and missold to work here, please do not make the same mistake, gain some self respect and go to a real succesful company that will actually value and support you genuinely. I am so happy i am now doing amazing and moved on to work in a proper recruitment agency where recruitment is done the right way, it made me realise even more how awfully wrong VMR actually is.

Cons

Micro management.
Intense KPIs.
Team leaders secretly hate CEO.
CEO is blunt, unpredictable and short tempered. He undermines team leaders and makes brash changes to strategy without considering wider business.

Cons

- The CEO always complained about London loosing him money, yet he never once sent one of the directors from south-end who have the most experience to come up and help, instead puts pressure on a young manager instead and inexperienced recruiters.

- This whole business is micromanaged with unrealistic KPI's, which were; 600 messages sent a day, over 2 hours on the phone and 2 unique candidates a day. If this was not met daily the CEO will expect you to stay behind, despite your contracted hours. If you refuse to do so you will find your self getting sacked.

- Employee turnover is a joke, on my first week I saw over 5 people go and every pay day more people leave, which has you questioning about the choice you made when the best performing person leaves the company. Along with being suspicious if his own employees are going for interviews if they've taken a day off whether your sick or not.

-This is one of my favourite, we were once located in Aldgate East Office co-sharing the space with different recruitment companies. We were KICKED out of this space due to the fact that the CEO never payed his RENT! So we had to pack all of our equipment and take it outside which was embarrassing to say the least, whilst the CEO was on holiday and laughed about it. He then wanted to make it up to the team by buying us lunch.....

- Once we moved to our new Office in Old Street, Shoreditch. Due to the lack of performance from London again... the CEO offered a new system which was called 'flexi-hours'. Where he wanted us to agree to do more hours work on the weekends and have a day off from Monday-Friday but still get payed the same.

- My Second favourite, if you were late in the morning by lets say 6-10 mins or whatever time that may be. It will be deducted from your monthly pay! Even if you stayed over an hour more to make up for your late time.

- Lack of communication between London and South-end office, Despite having 'A' grade clients they will still be contacted even though they shouldn't.

-My last favourite point, you are required to make over 30 dials or 1 hour on the phone in the morning by calling the same clients everyday. This is known as "Sell-In", which then damages the client reputation as your constantly bothering them even if they told you not to call back ! The software used to handle this company information and client details is out of DATE! It has not been updated properly in over 5 years!!

Cons

CEO is a nasty man! KPI's are ridiculous.
