Pros

Good reputation amongst clients and candidates Regardless of the number of consultants leaving, the business has retained some of their big fee generators There are some exceptional people still working with the business

Cons

As the review title says it is difficult to feel valued. Demand around KPIs' expectation, feels less like a business for seasoned professionals to join, management is hard to buy into. Typically saying one thing but actions are complete opposites. Decisions are made without consequences thought through (commission changes were to be implemented but due to the negative uproar, the leadership team had to rethink their tact but unfortunately what came through was the how senior management think - not to motivate but to penalise their staff. No doubt a new ' commission structure' will be announced. There is a genuine concern around whether people feel safe (this comes from their more successful consultants) rather than those not doing so well. A true feeling across the teams of not being valued.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. I am of course, disappointed to see you have left the business with a negative outlook and would like to address some of the points you have raised here. As a high performing business we believe it is appropriate to look at certain KPIs as they are fundamental to reviewing sales pipelines and determining where our people may need support and training. Our highest performers meet a certain level of activity and we want to replicate that success across the business. We utilise 4 key metrics only: CVs sent, first stage interviews, client meetings and new jobs. We also monitor conversion levels to ensure quality standards remain high. With regards to commissions, we have benchmarked the industry and have one of the most competitive schemes in the market. Having reviewed all our of incentives this year, we are confident we have a programme that provides all employees the opportunity to earn both financially and otherwise. Your feedback is valuable to us, so once again, thank you for taking the time to share. Should you wish to discuss your comments in further detail, please feel free to reach out to me personally. Regards, Guy

Pros

Commission Salaries Career development Training

Cons

The New York manager lacks people management skills and seems to prioritize their own interests over the team’s. There is little to no sense of team personality or emotional intelligence which creates a culture of fear.
