One of the best companies I've worked for - Recruitment Consultant Nash Squared Employee Review

When I read the negative reviews about Harvey Nash, I felt compelled to share my experience on here as the poor experiences of a few shouldn't outweigh the vast majority of positives that exist within the company. During my time there, I learnt SO much and now having moved on I can confirm it's rare to come across great places to work like this. I miss the work environment and the people (well, most of them). I mean, who says this stuff? There are some clear reasons why HN should be seriously considered for anyone pursuing a career in recruitment... strong training programme, balanced community of trainees, mid-level, managerial and directors - to name a few! There are opportunities to progress and be given more responsibility if you prove yourself.. and yes, that means working hard. I really dislike people who expect reward when they don't work for it. The Directors here will recognise real achievements and unlike other recruitment businesses out there, the things that HN achieve considering their size are outstanding. OK, we could do better in getting industry recognition but our clients know us well and they know best. So here's an outline of other things which I think make HN awesome: - Mentoring programme - Thorough and challenging recruitment process (this can mean 4/5 stages but that didn't put me off) - Good leadership from the Directors - Diverse teams and lots of crazy personalities to get along with - Interesting work, keeps you busy and gets you thinking outside of the box.. not just banging the phones - Pension and company shares scheme is strong compared to competitors
