Pros

- Excellent training and support, no matter what level you are - from coming in as a trainee up to management training if that's the route you chose to take. - Everyone wants to see you succeed and support you (not a dog eat dog environment often found in recruitment!) - Regular incentives - from freebies from the vending machine to days out/champagne/vouchers. - Career path depending on what you want from the role - either management or principal route, all based on performance, it's not based on who's friends with who and getting dibs on a promotion - all based on meeting your targets! - You build your own network and have autonomy to get out the office meeting clients, going to events etc. - Great office environment! - End of Quarters are amazing - free drinks, food and fantastic venues - all in work time!

Cons

- Some days can be tougher than others, not every day is going to be great, it's the nature of the beast at times - you've got to have the grit to dust yourself off and go again. - Limited flexibility to work from home. - Cold calling is a huge part of the role especially in the early days, but without getting on the phone you'll struggle to build your pipeline or client base - you've got to be willing to throw yourself in. - You've got to be comfortable with taking accountability, you'll make mistakes but it's about learning from them.

Pros

I’d worked in a couple of sales jobs before Navartis and honestly, they don’t even compare. In my old roles the bonuses were average, progression didn’t exist and the culture was wasn’t great. You never really got anything back and people weren’t happy. Navartis is the opposite. The training is way better than I expected, very hands on and it doesn’t stop after a few weeks so you actually learn and improve rather than being thrown in the deep end. The culture is open and honest, everyone’s straight with you and wants you to do well which took a while getting used to. The bonuses are good and when you hit them you actually feel rewarded. The team here is great, loads of support, a good laugh in the office and some brilliant nights out. It’s nice to work somewhere where you can earn decent money, progress, and actually enjoy it.

Cons

It can be tough when you’re new. Loads of people here are smashing it and have a lot of experience so at the start it can feel a bit daunting. You’ve just got to stick at it and trust the training. There’s not much flexibility. It’s very office based and working from home isn’t really a thing. It’s sales so the targets are challenging and you have to put the work in but that’s the nature of a job in recruitment or sales.

Pros

The incentives they offer The vast majority of people are quite nice Training team The progression available

Cons

-Little to no manners, more often than not when you would go in at the beginning of the day you wouldn't get a 'good morning' or 'how are you' unless you are in the clique. -They absolutely sell you the dream when offering you the job, they don't explain that there is actually thresholds to achieve any bonus and this wasn't explained until placements were made -To say they are representing a 'company' when they go out they dress as if they are off on a night out in Leeds City Centre - not very professional at all. -Like other reviews have said, regardless of your skill set, if your face doesn't fit it is absolutely pointless. -They employ trainees with no industry knowledge so they don't really know how poor it is there and then they can excuse their turnover rates as being due to being new to the industry

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, we do use these reviews to help understand where we need to improve and also to see where we are getting things right. Reading your recent review we are sorry to hear that you didn’t have a good experience. In terms of the bonus scheme, we believe that what we offer is very competitive in the market and we are very honest and open about what our bonus scheme is right from the get go. From the initial call to discuss a candidate’s application, through to offer and induction, we are transparent on what we expect from people who join us and what they will expect from us in return. We do pride ourselves on recruiting people with little to no sales experience and developing them into successful recruitment consultants and we have a huge amount of success stories, which we are truly proud of. We also fully appreciate that it is a tough job, that requires a lot of determination, focus and dedication and due to this, some people that join find that it’s not the right role for them… which is common in recruitment. We wish you luck in whatever you choose to move into. Navartis
