Venquis Reviews

Pros

This company has by far the best working atmosphere I've experienced to date in my career & there is a real sense that tangible achievements will result from your efforts.

Pros

Hard work and originality are rewarded and recognised.... it's what was promised when I interviewed to join the business in 2018, and has definitely been the case - I was promoted after 7 months. We all join businesses for different reasons, mine is always to make a genuine difference.. it's what makes me proud... and at Venquis you have the autonomy and platform to do things better. I think the environment suits dynamic, self-starters, who want to take their career into their own hands. Annual company trips (this year to Lisbon), sports day, free yoga, boxing, personal training and loads of other fun stuff are regularly organised which keep us all happy and healthy.

Advice to Management

Continue to challenge the norm - it's an exciting journey!

Pros

Having been recently promoted i'm very excited about the next stage of my career. Got loads to learn but lots of support available to help me be successful.

Advice to Management

Internal comms could be better, can we get a VQ newsletter?

Pros

- From having no recruitment experience and coming straight out of uni, I couldn't have landed at a better company. Venquis offer all new joiners a 13-week training academy where you are taught how to recruit properly, both candidate and client side.
- Clear criteria for progression / promotion. With only 2 1/2 years' experience, I am now trusted to manage a team.
- Excellent commission structure - you have the opportunity to earn an unlimited amount of money, something none of my friends coming out of uni had the option of doing in their jobs. I've been able to save for a flat deposit because of this, and so have others in the company!
- Great culture - monthly/quarterly incentives, annual company trip (whole company goes).
- Open door policy when it comes to senior leadership team.
- Excellent client base - working with some of the biggest companies across financial services, insurance and retail.
- Internal moves are encouraged and progression is there for whoever wants it.

Advice to Management

Maintain the expansion plans and keep driving towards the goal.
Invest in new laptops for the whole business.
Encourage work from home.

Pros

The people are really great, everyone gets along well, we have loads of fun and I think clients/ candidates really benefit from the culture. A few misfits have recently left the business giving the sales floor a positive boost and allowing us to get on with the plan/ vision (which makes perfect sense to me)
Training and support is exceptional- everyone really wants you to succeed.
The commission scheme is THE BEST I’m surprised it’s not talked about more in the industry.
I’m excited about my Venquis future as there are people doing amazing things here and I’m sure I can too.
If you’re reading this because you’re thinking about joining, do!!

Advice to Management

Venquis is really going places!

Pros

I have been hugely impressed by Venquis as a company since I joined last year to open their South West Regional office. This company is at the forefront of advances in recruitment from a technology perspective but maintains the personal values and morals which can be somewhat lost within the industry in 2019. The support I have had from Steve Garner and our London Headquarters has been exceptional. They have given me the opportunity to grow a fantastic business in the South West reflecting the vibrant culture we have in London, whilst giving me the freedom to adapt the business accordingly to support our clients in the South West. If you are looking for a company that sees potential and is focused on growing talent from its consultants, than look no further than Venquis!

Pros

I have worked at Venquis for nearly 3 years and one of the things that I have appreciated the most is the culture. Venquis has worked hard to build a great internal brand and strong culture. The company has a flat structure, which means the environment is very open and honest. Operations and Sales work very closely together meaning that everyone is always offering help and support, enabling everyone to do their jobs to the best of their abilities.

The hard-working culture at Venquis means that not only are you rewarded throughout the year through various incentives and team nights out but an annual company weekend away is organised.

Advice to Management

Top-level internal communication could definitely be improved.

Pros

- Joined Venquis as a trainee consultant and with a clear development plan I have been promoted to Team Leader and now manage a small team
- Incentivised not only as a billing Team Leader but also on helping my own team to progress and grow
- Opportunities to work from our other offices in Bristol and Munich (which has included an annual trip to Oktoberfest!!)
- Open door policy with leadership
- Offers a professional platform with a fun culture whether you’re looking for a 180 or 360 role in recruitment
- Good environment and teamwork especially through recent changes with the new organisational structure

Advice to Management

- Looking forward to hearing more about the Global expansion plans

Pros

My journey so far at Venquis has been the most productive 6 months I’ve had in my career.

I had been advised by friends (who already have a career in recruitment) for a few years to join to the industry and finally made the jump.

I have a sales background and was already in a job but I was just cruising and probably quite bored, I was looking for a fast paced sales environment where I could learn quickly through extensive training and support, and that is exactly what I got.

From the day I joined the 13 week academy I have been supported every day and guided on how to progress. Even after passing the academy the training continues with the Sales Director, putting on hourly sessions teaching our consultants how to become better recruiters.

To anyone considering a career in recruit you need to have a good work ethic, but just as importantly you need to be trained and guided on how to get the most out of that hard work. You will find this a Venquis.

Pros:

Training
Guidance
Great Culture

Pros

- New structure of the business
- Flexible working hours
- Office dog
