As the title suggests there is a fanatic group of people with a great team spirit and unity at Yolk. The Company boasts high levels of experience within its management structure which has been instrumental in developing those new to the business and with clearly defined goals which it expects rather than aims to achieve comes clear direction, support and opportunity to develop and progress regardless of the where you sit in the business. The Company will expect a lot from you but a lot will be given back in return; do well and you'll be enjoying nights out in some of South Wales' best restaurants, regular team nights out, an annual night away and Christmas shopping spree for the very top performers on top of the high levels of recognition, rapid progress and market leading earning structure.

From personal experience in the 3+ years i've been with Yolk its been great to see the business develop and continue to raise the bar; and with the leadership and infrastructure in place this should certainly continue for the foreseeable future.

Add to this, Yolk's has one of the best offices in South Wales, offering a great balance between work space and break out area's and is on the doorstep of Cardiff city centre there aren't many better companies in Cardiff for people who want to kick on and develop regardless of the stage of career they are at.

Pros

Great people working in the right way, top commission, tons of autonomy, good benefits, beautiful office, ambitious Directors, great clients, constant innovation.......
I've had the opportunity to progress from a consultant to a manager leading a team of consultants and into the Client Services role I hold today. The business supports sideways moves, moves up and moves into newly created roles, with a desire to get the best out of every one of us!
We have a reputation for being the party starters of recruitment but it's the hard graft, late nights and constant desire to deliver a first class service that allows us to do that! The socials, team nights, supper clubs, target clubs and Friday beer o’clocks that have resulted in a unified team and why some of my favourite people are Yolk’s (past & present!)
I’ve had the benefit of watching rookie consultants cutting their teeth in their first recruitment role at Yolk, to becoming confident and proud recruitment professionals, earning game changing commission, buying beautiful properties and fast cars!

If you're not happy with mediocre, you'll fit right in!

Advice to Management

Keep doing what your doing, innovating, inspiring and growing. You've made Yolk a genuinely amazing place to work for all of the YolkFolk - we salute you!

Pros

Yolk provide the best training and support. When i started i had been in recruitment for 2 years before but since i joined here i have learnt so much more then i ever had at my last company.
They make you feel so welcome from day one and really bring you into the "yolk Folk" family.
Plus the benefits and career opportunities make you work so much harder as they offer the best of the best.

Pros

Recruitment is tough and requires its staff to be resilient and hard working. Yolk offer an environment that supports it's staff through the tough times and celebrates the wins.

A company that operates with a genuine family feel it keeps it's company values at the core of it's operations and continuously reiterates the importance of this to its staff members.

Networking across your industry sectors is encouraged which allows staff to immerse themselves in meetups and social events.

Management are supportive and encouraging, working hours are reasonable and remuneration is highly competitive across industry standards.

You'll struggle to find a better office space in Cardiff too!

Advice to Management

The introduction of annual employee satisfaction surveys can be a good way to gauge the overall feel of staff and receive suggestions for ideas and improvements.

Pros

Around 18 months ago I took the plunge from working in a educational/public sector environment to recruitment.

I can safely say it's the best decision I've ever made. I started on the associate scheme and had a very thorough 12 week training programme - to this day of course i'm still learning from the Senior Consultants/managers/directors. I've already had my first promotion and i'm on track to have another by the middle of next year!

If you want an amazing working environment which has a family feel to it, look no further. People at Yolk are not only colleagues but also great friends.

I would recommend it here to anyone!

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you're doing, great working environment and culture.. make sure all of the target clubs are on a fair level.

Pros

Good commission schemes.
Some great people working there.
Made friends.

Advice to Management

Realise a growing business needs a real mix of people - rather than clones of the founding few.
