One Search Reviews

I have been working at One Search for over 2 years as part of the Support Team. I have been very impressed with the company's culture and values, as well as the company’s flexible work arrangements. One of the things that I appreciate about the company is the non-hierarchical feel. Everyone is treated with respect, regardless of their position in the company. This creates a very collaborative and supportive team culture. The team are always willing to help each other out, and everyone is very approachable; I have met not just some good colleagues at the firm but also made some great friends. I also very much appreciate the new opportunities and trust given to me by the companies CEO, Dan McCarthy. Dan has been very supportive of me in my position at the firm and has always made me feel valued, trusted and empowered. He gives me the freedom to do my job the way I see fit and has always encouraged me to share my thoughts; he is always open to new ideas and is willing to experiment with new ways of doing things to improve efficiency. One of the things that I appreciate most about One Search is the company's flexible work arrangements, I work 100% remotely, this has been a huge perk for me and allows me to have a good work-life balance. Overall, I am very happy to be a part of the One Search team. I am confident that I will continue to learn and grow in the supportive and collaborative environment that it provides. I would highly recommend One Search to anyone looking for a rewarding career in recruitment.

Dan McCarthy taught me an unbelievable amount in the 3 years I spent with him before moving on to the shrek world, and I remain in contact with him to this day. I have gone on to run a BU with a major global firm but I still seek Dan’s advice and still sense that he cares for me. I saw some of the attacks against him on this website and wanted to come on to defend him - he is a sitting duck to some cowardly keyboard warriors who in my view are jealous of his success. Building a global brand (and reputation for excellence) from literally nothing is damn near impossible and Dan has done it. Our own Infrastructure focused colleagues admit that One Search has better brand awareness in the sector than any shrek firm does, and that is a remarkable feat. To build a business from nothing you have to be tough, and Dan is tough. This doesn’t always play well with people who struggle to maintain the pace, in what is a pretty unforgiving industry. Dan is in a results business and he gets results but admittedly some relationships have gone by the wayside over the years. But he is fundamentally a good person who has developed countless young people into highly skilled specialist recruiters at the top of their game. Several of his competitors would still be placing back office temps if Dan had not trained them and introduced them to the infrastructure sector, and I know that he rightly wears this as a badge of honor. His haters hide behind their keyboards and make barbed attacks on websites like this because they are jealous of his success and upset that it didn’t work out for them, but don’t let them put you off - One Search is a fantastic firm and I will always be grateful for the time I spent there. Ps - this point that keeps being weaponized around Dan being a “conspiracy theorist”. This is total nonsense. His close friend and colleague (fit, healthy 42 year old) dies of a heart attack in 2021. A few days prior, he had received his 2nd Covid jab. For pointing this out and asking for it to be looked into, Dan was labeled a conspiracy theorist by some. He was also briefly banned from LinkedIn in 2020 for suggesting that the virus may have come from the Wuhan lab but I don’t think too many people still regard that as a conspiracy theory any longer. This is just a lazy slur being used against Dan, but rather than let it get him down he laughs it off - typical Dan - I hear that his slack avatar is Donald Trump in a tin foil hat …
