Cons
The term "Recruitment Agency" belies this HR department's tenure of little more than a single client. Never has golfing been so business critical. Guided by the tactical nous of directors who have never worked in another recruitment environment, this company are known in the market as something of a recruiter's last resort. The "save" reviews, all curiously posted immediately after some fairly damning, albeit accurate indictments, screams of desperation. Sadly, the majority of these initial responses were in fact written by management themselves. Nice people for the most part but very much blinkered and suffering severely from tunnel vision. Lunch, ridiculously, is fixed at 1-2pm. Staff traipse obediently in single file down the paint and debris-strewn obstacle course they call the staircase with a play-piece to fill the void. Each week, they are treated to weekly "audits" of their data processing, focussing on the collection of pivotal information such as a candidate's favourite colour. The CRM system used is bespoke in that no other company would be daft enough to use it. An interesting "call-back system" is in play, forcing employees to call irrelevant and unsuitable candidates regularly with the somewhat questionable objective of having a wee chat. Despite management's reassurances that they know Rome wasn't built in a day, the owner, freshly returned from holiday, will be upset that the Sistine Chapel wasn't built (and painted) in his absence. If you are an account manager who thrives on having your livelihood hanging precariously on the thread of a single client's success, this is a no brainer in every sense of the word. Send your scribbles to the HR department (any Anderson Knight email address) to arrange numerous callbacks and a plethora of wee chats
