Pros

Durlston Partners and Vax Bahram gave me the opportunity to flourish in recruitment. I joined a family friendly environment where I found support and motivation through my colleagues. Nobody is left behind at Durlston Partners as long as you're willing to work hard and make it happen for yourself. I've travelled to more places than I ever did before and had more fun than ever in the big city of London thanks to Durlston Partners. Amazing feeling to see the company growing and keeping its core values and harmony, giving the opportunity for everyone to be involved and to contribute to the amazing journey. Golden years ahead of us! For full list of benefits - Check out Durlston Partners website (it's pretty awesome) and benefits are flowing all year around.

Cons

No cons to be mentioned. If you're an ambitious, impact-driven and hard working individual who's mature enough to be open to constructive criticism and keen to learn and be challenged - Durlston Partners is the place to be for you.

Pros

Having been at the firm for a while now I have seen the team grow, in particular within the last 18 months. A key achievement has been retaining the tight knit culture as the firm continues to grow due to its' incredible success. This is implemented by the Director and everyone has a say in hiring, roles, clients etc. Full transparency across the team and access to all roles. Client list has continued to grow at manageable levels with some business being turned away to ensure we can fully deliver and clients we work with are the best within their field in terms of opportunity, tech/research focus and rewards. Autonomy to manage your own time, take on responsibility and manage accounts quite quickly. Benefits including team trips away, regular team lunches, fully stocked beer fridge, darts, private healthcare, gym membership, weekly amazon grocery shop, egg chairs, cycle to work schemes etc.

Cons

Start up feel so need to pitch in to help with whatever is required including admin but this has now greatly improved with the operations team putting in place more structured processes as we grow, especially when onboarding new joiners there is a comprehensive training scheme. Need to be driven, as will be a steep learning curve for those new to recruitment like myself or even experienced hires as our culture is very different to other firms from the level of transparency to being collaborative and spending time together outside of work.

Pros

I have been at Durlston Partners for more than two years and enjoyed every minute of it, the team culture is second to none. I've worked in start-ups, big tech firms, and consultancies and this is by far the best team culture I've come across where you're excited to go in every day and to work alongside teammates who have become friends. Having grown organically over the past 10 years where every team member gets a say on new hires, it's a big part of the collaborative, transparent, and humble culture that we have today. The client list has also grown organically through word of mouth and recommendations from candidates and clients who have enjoyed working with us. This puts us in a great position to choose clients we love working with which naturally means that anyone coming in can focus on making placements rather than spending cold calling for new business. Everyone who joins is given the tools to succeed but also the ownership and autonomy to plan and manage their day in a meritocratic environment. The above is most important to me but there are added benefits including: Fully paid team holidays (Barcelona, New York, Ibiza to name but a few) Best commission structure in London - the more revenue you bring in the more you take home Snacks / beer fridge / great open plan office / dart board / healthcare / gym membership / cycle to work schemes and many many more to list (check the website).

Cons

If you're new to recruitment, there is a learning curve and you have to have patience and resilience to see the rewards but if you're hardworking, consistent and find that you do actually love recruitment then that patience will pay off in the long term
