Not good enough - Recruitment Consultant Renaix Employee Review

Renaix is a small, owner-ran recruitment company where there is huge potential to build your own desk and niche. They excel at hiring young recruiters and giving them the framework, ethics and skills to become 360 degree recruiters, and there is the potential to move quickly into team lead roles, and become involved in training, mentoring and hiring. Great personal development perspectives, I transitioned into a senior role quickly, was client-facing almost immediately and saw good development opportunities, up to Senior Manager level. Renaix is rare in the recruitment industry in that there is no long-hours culture, and they take a truly consultative approach to both clients and candidates, rather than treating them as commodities as so many competitors do. There is also the possibility to define your own working space, and carve out a specialisation for yourself. The bonus structure is very transparent and generous.

There are KPIs, as there are in almost any sales-driven environment, but if you're working hard and placing people then, in my experience, they became irrelevant. The recruitment world is getting more and more difficult, with PSLs and internal recruiters making it ever more difficult to access the business leaders. This is not specific to Renaix, but something they should consider as they move forward. The company would benefit from some investment in software.

I joined Renaix recently after a 15 year career in recruitment for a variety of businesses as I was looking for a modern recruitment business, that focused on quality of service and candidates rather than KPI's. Renaix is exactly that! The team and leadership are driven, focused, professional and friendly, with an emphasis on and culture of supporting each other to deliver in a competitive recruitment market. The clients are well known and recognisable brands, with high-quality recruitment needs, that they rely on Renaix to deliver. That reputation for delivery is well founded based on the quality of the consultants and the leadership of the organisation. Great place to work!

There are no stand out concerns with the organisation as they have recently invested in their back office, CRM system and support structures, all which have brought the business forward in terms of its operating ability.
