Pros
I joined the firm just under a year ago and can honestly say it’s the best environment I’ve ever worked in. Having heard horror stories about recruitment firms for years, Durlston really couldn’t be more different! It’s so collaborative and isn’t KPI led so the focus is fully on getting the best out of each and every person, nurturing their talent rather than stifling it. Couple this with the fact that the client list is A*, the commission structure is unbeatable and your time is spent building relationships with candidates as opposed to endless cold calling, I’d say there are few places (likely none) that could beat it! It’s also just such a fun place to be! From trips out, to weekends away and the constant stream of Deliveroo lunches/snacks, you are treated at every turn and endlessly rewarded for all you put in. I truly couldn’t recommend Durlston enough!
Cons
It’s so good, that when I talk to my mates about it they think I’m exaggerating…when in fact I’m often playing it down!
