Pros
I worked for Verrus (then Poole Resourcing) for just under two years before moving on to pastures new overseas. As with all employers there are good and bad elements but I have to say that my experience was on the whole very positive and I remember my days there fondly. So I was surprised to be made aware of some negative comments on here and I can’t say I agree with them but sort of understand where they come from (and from who!) Non-existent commission is indeed the case for a the many people who enter the world of recruitment looking to get rich quick! This is an industry that is NOT FOR EVERYONE and even the people that become successful don’t get successful overnight. They persevere and stick at it and it can take a long time before it starts giving back, as I know all too well. But if you are looking at recruitment as a long term career then Verrus are way better than most in terms of guidance, training, good perks and just actually taking an interest in your wellbeing! It’s very telling that the people with bad things to say about the company all worked there for less than a year - they just weren’t cut out for recruitment and left of their own accord. They are also no longer working in recruitment, which sort of tells its own story. I’m still in touch with Verrus and hold their guys in high respects with some of them among my best friends.
Cons
There are certain elements that I’d improve but they are particular to me really. One size doesn’t fit all and on the whole there’s nothing major to put right about this company. I would not be where I am now had I gone elsewhere.
