Premier Group Recruitment Response
10yThanks for your review, we do appreciate your feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed working with like minded people at Premier ; we strongly disagree with your statement "everyone hates the company" - our retention so far this year has greatly outstripped the industry average and we have grown by 30 heads year to date.
Our senior team is made up of 35% of the business which has been with the company for a minimum of 2 years and our management team has been with the business for 27 years between them! Manchester is a great success story for the business currently and they have seen a superb increase on results so far this year. As someone brand new to recruitment we do set KPI's for people to work towards as a base line. It is important for anyone when they first start in the industry to have these (we note your experience is less than one year). When we look at the key traits of our top performers in the business they are hitting these targets consistently on a weekly basis - so to be the best, why would people not look to emulate and copy this?
Our working hours are 8.30am - 6.30pm - this is not hidden from anyone at interview stage or when they are seeking work with the company, I hope it is no surprise that for people who want to earn six figures salaries with 3 years of experience in any role (of which we have many examples) will have to work hard to achieve these levels. We make no secret of the fact working for Premier is about being the best, if you would like a 9-5 and to earn £30k a year then it would be apparent we weren't the right business for you.
55% of our hires this year have come through our Rec 2 Rec network and 45% has come through our internal recruitment team, again I am unsure where you have got your information from but this is factually inaccurate.
Our incentives are open to all staff who achieve results in the business - all of our top performers regularly qualify for the huge number of incentives we offer (please view our website to see the photos where there are a lot more than 5 people in attendance) Unfortunately due to the nature of a sales role we cannot send employees who do not generate results.
It is a shame that you think we would write our own reviews on this page, we have grown every year for the last 15 years due to the quality of people we have in the business who perform and generate results for the organisation. They are the people posting their positive opinions on the site.
We wish you all the best for the future - if you have any further comments please feel free to contact our Director, Ben Broughton on bbroughton@premiergroupuk.com he would be happy to discuss further.
