Navartis reviews

Before starting Navartis last May I had worked at 3 other recruitment companies; I started off with executive global search and then moved into UK recruitment and now I am working as a Senior Consultant in the Leeds office, recruiting across the UK and Europe. I’ve always really enjoyed recruitment but hadn’t really found a company I gelled with yet or the felt like bought he most out in me. One thing that stood out to me immediately with Navartis was the level of professionalism and solid process followed. When I started, they really took the time to train me up over a 12-week course, even with 2 years of experience, to give me the confidence in this specific role, as well training me on skills I've never developed in previous roles such as commercial awareness and negotiation giving me more ownership on my own work. The thing I enjoy most about Navartis, and specifically the Leeds office is the culture and the people; everyone gets on really well and supports each other’s growth and success! I get on so well with my colleagues and have built genuine, true friendships. As well as this, the management is really supportive and highly integrated in the team culture. We’re quite a small and close team so always want to see each other win and are rewarded for our team and individual efforts (there's always horror stories of competition in recruitment, and I've actually experienced it first hand but that's not the case at all here!) Everyone has their own goals but also want to see each other succeed at the same time. As a company, we’re regularly awarded with social events quarterly and team incentives monthly and weekly which makes us more driven to do well. There are also so many personal development opportunities that are all supported and funded by the company e.g trips out to different cities/countries, client meals out and further training and development. My final point is the earning and growth potential, management are very transparent about commission structures and targets and give you structured paths to help you get there, the path is also very tailored to what YOU want from a career, not being pigeon-holed into roles that don't work for you which can often be the culture in recruitment, my manager regularly sits with me to discuss what I want from the job and how he can hep me get there, which isn't something I've experienced before and am really grateful for! There's not many jobs where you have such clarity and control of your earnings so you really get out what you put in! I've seen myself really grow and earn good money from this model and am excited for what more there is to come.

I am now roughly 2 years and 2 months in to my journey at Navartis. I wanted to come on here to write an honest reflection of my time here for anyone thinking about joining us or recruitment in general. My main pro's across my time are: -Increased finances. This is a big one for me as it's the reason I get out of bed in the morning! climbing the career chart has resulted in multiple increases in basic salary and more consistent deals has resulted in more commission for me on a regular basis. This has allowed me to get in to a car I am very proud of and set out to get prior to starting. -I've enjoyed building relationships/friendships with my colleagues and we regularly socialise outside of work which is a big plus for me. -In the Solihull office we have an incentive to finish at 12:30 on a Friday which is always a nice end to the week when you hit the relevant target to achieve it. We also have end of quarter do's that are always good fun. I'm looking forward to the upcoming one at Warwick races where we are getting a stretched huma limo from the office to our private box there. -Another big one for me is the fact I don't get the 'Sunday night fear' that many of my friends get and genuinely enjoy coming in to work.
