        Pros

        Great colleagues, great structure and great support! I've loved my time at Zeren and continue to do so. The Comp and Bonus structure is very positive and i've definitely made way more money here than in my earlier career (even in a depressed market). The job flow coming from the wider platform is strong and the new hires coming into the wider platform are hugely strong. So the future looks bright at Zeren, can't wait for next year!

        Cons

        Adapting, learning and listening are key to any new persons success, but the tools and learning resources are there if you choose to use them. The Tech market is an Elite space, so clients are very discerning on who they use as their recuritment partner. If you're a proven BD machine who legitimately knows how to generate jobs, hustle hard and build relationships, then this platform is for you as the rewards speak for themselves. If you're genuinely inexperienced at BD and have never had great success in that area, then this platform/market can be tough.

          Pros

          Some nice recruiters work here who are happy to give a shoulder to cry on which is much needed alot of the time.

          Cons

          I don't know where to start, read the other 1 star reviews as they are reflective of my experience here. Professionalism is not a high priority with employees but worse candidates it seems.

              The management team genuinely care about the team and aim to provide a great work environment. They are strong communicators ensuring everyone is brought along with them on their journey.

              Cons

              It is in the process of moving from a start up to an established company which will take time. Will be good to get some good processes in place, that said this is being reviewed but they are at the beginning of the plan so am sure it will happen which will be great.

                    Pros

                    Zeren is not your average recruitment company. The mature, nurturing environment promotes a humble, hard working, collaborative culture that is difficult to find. There's huge potential upside for anyone joining the business at this stage for both personal & career growth. Having been here for over year I have nothing but positive things to say and can see myself working here for the foreseeable future - exiting times ahead!

                    Cons

                    I'd recommend joining a gym if you're lucky enough to find yourself working here, the frequent social activities involving free food & drinks has not been healthy for my waistline...

                      I have a 5 year gap in my work history due to an illness. How do I explain this? I can't lie, SSD is on my background check as a previous employer. I am on it and looking to re-enter the job market and get off of it, but I understand it is a reason for employers to pause in hiring me.

                      Senior Associate

                      How do you interview for a position when you are under-qualified based on seniority but not based on skills? I currently serve as a senior associate for a reputable consulting firm, and I have an interview for an associate director position. However, I am just shy of the minimum YOE requirement included on the job application and relatively young (though I meet all of the other requirements). Any advice on convincing the hiring manager I am ready for a mid-level role?

                      EY

                      Had 4 behavioral interviews for a position last week. Last Friday (which was the last of the four interviews), the interviewer spent most of the interview selling me on the job and didn't ask me any questions. She ended the interview by saying she thinks I am confident and would be a great fit for the role. I took this as a good sign but giving it's 2023 you never truly know. Has anyone ever had an interviewer do something similar and not gotten the job?
