Pros

The training The office The inspirational leadership The approachable and accessible directors The family feel I was unsure of a career in recruitment but I was recommended RH by a friend who had been a candidate. I read the reviews on here good and bad but thought it best to make up my own mind. I can honestly say the good ones are true the negative are clearly people who have a distorted view of RH, the industry and leadership My experience has been really tough and harder work than I expected but the support and training has been amazing. Although I have not billed brilliantly I am fully supported and made to believe I will get there. The KPI are only ever discussed to help and you are never told off for not achieving. I am proud to work for a company where all the leadership from director to DM did the job and are always walking around the office and happy to help. You are made to feel part of the family, results don't seem to be the concern only that you try your best, which I am doing. I have joined with lots of new people who are all great and inspirational so I feel like I have made a great career move.

Cons

The expectations and standards are high Recruitment is generally a hard industry

Pros

Success with other departments - just not in mine

Cons

Complete bait and switch. I accepted this position under one manager, only to find out after resigning from my previous job that I would be reporting to someone else entirely. There was no meaningful onboarding, no training materials, and no support system in place. My manager openly stated that there was no monetary value in helping me succeed and made little effort to train or develop me. Requests to shadow and learn the business were dismissed in favor of keeping me on the phones. Instead of being set up for success, I felt actively prevented from growing. HR was equally disappointing. I raised legitimate concerns and never received a response. The organization talks about development and support, but my experience suggested otherwise. Joining this company was one of the biggest professional mistakes I have made.
