Pros

A high level of integrity across the business. Promotion of genuine insight internally, with candidates and clients. The career pathway sets out a standardised ladder for progression so all employees know where they are and what they have to do to progress. A highly collaborative environment where individuals at all levels support one another, built on the foundations of profit share and mutual respect. The creative freedom to create your own desk and the support to ensure you are successful. The company actively listens to all employees and is nimble to adapt in a post Covid19 environment.

Cons

I couldn't ask anything more of an employer as I have been given the creative freedom to create a business which is successful alongside guidance and support.

Pros

I have been working at BS for over 4 years and progressed through the ranks to be leading a team. I have worked at 2 other firms in my career and I can say this is hands down the most professional and mature environment to make a brand for yourself and make good money. Management is consultative and understanding. The benefits package and and base salary are excellent. Recently I had some health issues and HR and management have been flexible to accommodate my needs whilst the health insurance has paid for everything. Recruitment is a stressful enough job you don't need big ego's micro managing you or working alongside you. BS is a truly collaborative place and I get on with everyone at the business. Back office support is exceptional.

Cons

Office desks are too small. Chairs need to be replaced. Not team nights out all the time but when they do happen they are fun and interesting.

Pros

- Very positive culture of celebrating attainment, offering ongoing (high standard of) training and development - Excellent attitude towards people- growing the individual seems genuinely as important as growing the business - A recruitment agency with a real specialism and with integrity and respect- no such thing as being forced to make 40 cold calls a day. The value of strong, genuine relationships (with colleagues, clients and candidates) is understood and fostered here -Excellent opportunities and clear pathways for promotion, comission and attainment rewards. Transparency on these things makes a huge difference and makes meeting your goals much more achievable in relatively short timescales. -great, talented colleagues -Good CSR culture- a strong csr committee seems genuinely keen to get employees involved in charity events- 2 days for csr activities (extra leave) are given to every employee.

Cons

-No break room/ lunch space -limited kitchen space
