PeopleSearch Reviews

Pros

Management and team leads are mentoring. Practice collaboration to achieve best customer experience for both clients and candidates. Genuine and down to earth culture. Practice integrity and accountability in delivery.

Cons

strong knitted with family-liked team. can be more aggressive from a sales point of view... yet it achieves customer centric goal.

Pros

Good training ground for young professionals.

Cons

Extremely toxic sales culture. Publicly shaming people who don’t meet target. Forced employees to write fake reviews on Glassdoor. Asked people to come to the office to work on Saturdays.

Pros

A place where fresh grad, mid-career switchers can come on board, learn the ropes, and still do well. Training, guidance, and good mentors are there to guide and show you the know-how. Coupled with training and sharing across teams, leaders, and consultants. The database has been built over the last 10 years, accumulated with sufficient data for various specializations and needs. Steep learning curve but plenty of leadership opportunities and accelerated career growth for consistent performers. Middle to top management comes with many years of experience under their belt, with strong niches, e.g. Technology team, business development, special projects/government tenders, etc To do well you need to be diligent and work effectively. Rewarding as the effort you put in will translate to positive outcomes such that both the clients and candidates you are working with will be pleased. In turn, you are rewarded.

Cons

Steep learning curve, and alignment of incentives to facilitate cross-team collaboration could be better.

Pros

If headhunting is for you this might work as a training ground. But it might scares you off with their culture.

Cons

Extreme work life imbalance. Compulsory to do work on weekends eg searching, arranging for calls etc. Works worse than doctors in terms of hour. Ill-cultured, highly stressed.

Pros

Good learning opportunities in sales and recruitment

Cons

Not much work life balance

Pros

One of the best training schools for the industry, contributing to the success of other firms, because the work culture here does not really retain people. Sell your body, sell your soul, sell your life, you will do well here if you are committed. No, it's not just about working hard, it's working till you die at your desk kind of hard. Good internal CRM system. People here are generally quite nice, you will make some good friends here because you're pretty much 24/7 with each other.

Cons

Lousy commission scheme, employer CPF are also calculated into your commission threshold. Pushing the government's requirements on the employer to the employees is really ridiculous. Yes, I repeat, YOU NEED TO PAY FOR THE EMPLOYER'S CPF CONTRIBUTION, inclusive of the 3x threshold requirements for the company's commission qualification. To be honest, things are really quite fine besides the fact that you need to commit your ENTIRE life on the job.

Pros

no pros... please join other companies and don't be sweet talked by the Director and Managers

Cons

- They hire and fire fast, because they just need people to do the dirty work and managers get to reap the rewards and get your commission to hit their targets - don't expect to get any proper mourning during your compassionate leaves.. they have NO compassion at all and force you to work while mourning - managers there are the leftovers from the recruitment industries - go other places cannot make it, then come back to Peoplesearch.. like recycle bin or trash bin, take back the trash especially Senior Management and act like they have empathy, but they can terminate you on the same day and side the managers even though you have done nothing wrong and when these managers have been doing unethical sales - sexual harassment at workplace by the most Senior Managers/Directors is pretty common, yet company allow

Pros

- Proper training and guidance provided to help excel in your work - Friendly environment, colleagues are nice - Solid candidate database - Very good learning opportunities to nurture your stakeholder management skills and recruitment experience

Cons

If i had to pick one: - High turnover, which is normal within the recruitment industry

Pros

- Trains your research skills in terms of flexible thinking, knowing about the job

Cons

- you have to be a fast learner otherwise because everything is so fast-paced, so if you're a slow learner, it would be a bit difficult for you

Pros

Good learning exposure and guidance from superiors. Very open culture and no hierarchy in the company. Close knitted company with great understanding towards each other.

Cons

Fast paced as it is a recruitment company
