Not worth it for (most) grads - Search Consultant Thurn Partners Employee Review

Strong Market mapping and intelligence. Had a positive experience here overall, naturally members of certain teams have completely different experiences. Upon joining you’ll quickly realise the most favourable team to be in.

Average client base and relationships. Still a relatively new business, still trying to find its feet. T2 search firm, still a great place to establish yourself as a grad.

The team is really nice and friendly, including the director and CEO. They give you the path to succeed and doing it could definitely be rewarding, as evidenced by other employees who make it through The interview process and transparency is amazing, they really made it comfortable and made sure my needs were met when it comes to availability and comfort; the CEO and HR were also very kind and allowed for a good conversation over the course of the interview 10/10.

The Learning and development programme collapsed midway through and left a lot of us to learn on the job which was handled very badly and incoherently. They are hypocrites when it comes to the timelines to succeed. Current employees suggest it took them quite long to succeed, but the company reprimanded me for not succeeding within my first few months They can be a bit rigid when it comes to ways to do things and say they want your feedback, but then criticise you for that specific feedback (largely victim blaming) Lastly, they need to get some structure. Teams are too unevenly distributed, and the distribution impedes more work than it improves. Managers quit left right and centre, and I had 3 different people doing my probation meetings within a couple of weeks; it felt like starting over every time and any progress seemed alienated to the new manager.
