      Pros

      Yesterday marked my 1 year milestone with Barclay Simpson and it has been the best year of my professional life. I started as a Resourcer and swiftly got promoted within 6 months to an AC. This could not have been possible without Barclay Simpson's environment and current employees who all support everyone. Barclay Simpson stands out head and shoulder from any recruitment companies. This company is not a micro management style at all. Everyone is professional, very knowledgeable within their markets and also as managers. Barclay Simpson have a lot of employees that have been with the company and their market for so many years. This has been a huge advantage for me, in terms of learning and leveraging their skills and experience. The CEO is always at arm's reach and is open to new ideas from all levels. The training and development is fantastic as well as the back office support. This company offers something the rest can't and that is your mental health. You will not be burnt out or worked to the ground, you will go home with a smile on your face. Which is very rare in our industry. Thank you Barclay Simpson for an incredible year, here is to many more!

      Cons

      Yes the office is a tad old, however we are moving to a new vibrant office very soon.

      Quickly becoming 'Just another recruiter'

      Pros

      Great mix of clients, you’ll be allocated an area or a selection of clients to work with who are legacy and so you can start building a pipeline. Depending on your team, there is a fairly relaxed culture for going for drinks or long lunches. Reward culture for big billers

      Cons

      Flexible working is a myth, particularly if you don’t have children. Regardless of your commute or competence, generally working from home is frowned upon. If this is something you are looking for, regardless of your situation, negotiate this when you receive your offer and try to get it in writing as otherwise it is highly unlikely. There is very much a facetime culture- CEO likes to know exactly where people are, if a desk seems empty, he will ask about your whereabouts. Politics is a big issue, cliques are evident & nasty and people do get picked on. Diversity- Yes it is something they are trying to change on a visual level, but attitudes are still from 30 years ago. Profit share used to be a big scheme that made the firm different, but with the new management, the firm is progressing quite quickly towards a traditional commission model so I wouldn’t buy into this in interview.
