        Management is a bit all over the place. High expectation to lead people on even if you have no jobs for them.

                Pros

                Have worked in Morgan McKinley for over 2 years . They have always been fair and put back into staff what staff put in. I have been offered the chance to gain experience in a number of areas. Management have always been helpful and encouraging and there is a huge investment in training to the point where it can feel excessive but it’s appreciated.

                Cons

                Benefits not great considering it’s a recruitment company and they see what other companies offer. None of the offices offer parking which can be costly given the location of most of the offices.

                Thank you for your review. I am pleased to hear that you are enjoying a positive career experience at Morgan McKinley. We are consistently reviewing and benchmarking our employment offering including benefits to ensure they are in line with the market. Wishing you continued success at Morgan McKinley.

                  Pros

                  The culture and quality of clients are the two real stand out's for me at MMK. The office location is also a big plus. Everyone is approachable and helpful from day 1 for any new joiner and make you feel welcome. There is a competitive culture which I like but I guess might not suit everyone - but it is the nature of the job we do. I am surprised to read reviews of MMK being a heavy KPI organisation - I've worked in other well known agencies and this is the least KPI driven company I have worked for! Typically KPI's are utilised when people are struggling to help them succeed. Clear career trajectory - I have 2 managers in my divisions who joined at consultant level and worked their way up. One of them was promoted twice in a year. I would say arguably the best incentives of any recruitment company in Ireland - 5 star hotel trips every 6 months and annual trip overseas for top performers. Early Friday finish too.

                  Cons

                  When I joined initially, diversity was a challenge across the business - but that has changed in the last 2 years in particular.

                      Pros

                      I recently joined Morgan McKinley and I must say, the interview and onboarding process was a smooth experience. From the initial phone screening to the final interview, the recruiters were friendly, professional, and transparent about the company and the role. They ensured I was well-informed about the position, the company culture, and the expectations before moving forward. Once I accepted the offer, the onboarding process was seamless. I received all the necessary information and materials well in advance and was provided with ample opportunities to ask questions and get acclimated. The HR team made sure all my paperwork and benefits were in order, and my manager and team members were ready to welcome me with open arms on my first day. Overall, I was impressed with how organised and efficient the process was, and it made for a very positive first impression of the company. It's clear that Morgan McKinley values its employees and takes their onboarding seriously. I feel fortunate to be part of such a supportive and welcoming team, and I look forward to contributing to the company's success in the future.

                      Cons

                      Nothing to flag at this moment in time.

                      Thank you for your positive review! It is great to hear that your onboarding experience has been so positive. Wishing you every success in your role with Morgan McKinley.

                      Administrative Assistant

                      Gave two interviews recently and got a feedback that I wasn’t able to explain my role as effectively, because of which I won’t be able to transition as fast into a fast-paced environment. I have worked in one small firm and one small-mid firm, and I personally feel I am ready to take up more responsibilities and move to a bigger firm for more exposure. Not sure how else I can explain my roles effectively, even after walking them through everything, how am I supposed to utilise this feedback?

                      Im really interested in applying for Walmart but I'm not interested in the bs that comes along with it. Especially when nowadays the difference between poverty & not living on the streets is a full-time job (If you're lucky) 🥴🥴
