Hated Every Second - Recruitment Consultant Oakwell Hampton Employee Review

Genuinely, absolutely nothing about my 3 years with this business remotely benefitted my life🤣 You can easily earn more money elsewhere.

🏢 An office big enough for 50 staff, yet there’s maybe 8 people left in this business, if that?? 🧨 Very reactive, poor management and direction from leadership. 🤨 Managing director hasn’t recruited in over 16 years so knows absolutely nothing about the current space - couldn’t fill a job now if he tried. 🔥 Toxic culture - bad mouthing ex employees, other recruitment businesses and share personal information of employees when they shouldn’t. 🤦🏽‍♂️ Directors are known to be very inappropriate upon social events and holiday trips to females, both inside and outside the business. Typical recruitment for you though I guess. 🔢 Treated as a number, absolutely 0 care for wellbeing of employees, no matter your place in the company. ☑️ Harsh on KPIs and HIRE & FIRE culture. 🗣️ On numerous occasions have spoken badly of current employees and stated they would be removed from the business but can’t as their employee numbers need to remain for “retention”. 🔓 Shows a lot when every single manager and director (by promotion) has left the business within 6 months of their promotion. This is somewhere for very junior consultants and that’s it.

A really great business to work for with a lot of flexibility and freedom to make independent decisions client wise and running your own desk Received 2 promotions within the space of a year. Great commission structure Great incentive trips to New York and Dubai! A small but tight knit team who can all bounce off eachother and support eachother - everyone is friendly and social. No micro management and support from management is strong when needed.

No air fryer in the office :(
