Pros
I joined Durlston Partners over a year ago from a big contingent firm and the difference from my previous experience in recruitment has been night and day. The collaborative environment coupled with the extensive client base has allowed me to make the most of a commission structure that can’t be beaten in the market. The opportunity for career progression was clearly laid out from day one and I achieved three promotions within my first 7 months. The CEO makes sure that everyone (not just top billers) are involved in all the company events and in my first year I’ve been on two long weekends away with the team and a trip to NYC. Hard work and no ego are all it takes to be successful and enjoy your time here.
Cons
Lots of people taking the extra half-hour at lunch to go the gym makes me feel guilty...
