Strong name in the market with exciting room for growth!

Senior recruiter

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Collaborative environment and a strong culture of sharing. No “CV top drawing” as a result candidate information is shared Each consultant knows his or her vertical market allowing them to grow their division like a business Although Business Development focused, your peers will pick up roles on your behalf without requesting a split fee – this is the norm here. Good work life balance welcoming to family orientated consultants – ability to work from home where required

Cons

Previously a lack of direction, however with the CEO in place a company wide roadmap has been established and communicated company wide Relaxed working environment – can be challenging if you have issues with self discipline

Barclay Simpson Response

Thank-you for your review. It is really encouraging to hear how collaborative you find the working environment. Collaboration is one of our values and it is always good to hear our values are being put into practice! We do like to trust our employees to manage their own working day as much as possible but for anyone that feels that they are struggling with self discipline there is a range of support available through training and mentoring. We are also doing a lot of work to improve our IT systems. We appreciate how frustrating it can be when we experience glitches but hopefully these issues will be resolved very soon.
