Walker Hamill Review - Consultant Walker Hamill Employee Review

I've worked at Walker Hamill for close to four years and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I started as a graduate researcher focused on finance appointments. This involved using Linkedin and various job sites to source and approach candidates about live positions. The approach from the firm is to gradually increase your exposure/responsibility, when they feel you're ready, and various senior members of staff offer help/advice. There's a transition period before becoming a consultant and again the process is steady. At no stage does it feel like you are thrown into situations you wouldn't be able to handle. The firm has a track record of thirty years and works off relationships built over this time. Age-wise there is a real mix - a lot of the partners have worked here for twenty years, there are consultants with 2-10 years experience and there is a group of recent graduates as researchers. The average tenor is around eight years. As a consultant you work in pairs within a wider team - this allows a second opinion alongside the ability to discuss the searches you are working on. The company culture is good - Summer and Christmas parties, regular work drinks, without it being a 'work hard, play hard' culture. There isn't a KPI/cold-calling culture and you have autonomy over your schedule and work. Simply you are trusted to work hard - there is one annual performance review and general feedback is more organic. Good commission structure - both as a researcher and consultant.
