      Great business - with the worse system

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Culture - People, including some great local leaders - Brand is strong and there are plenty of ideas to help you make money

      Cons

      - The new CRM has been an awful step backwards. I’ve not come across a single person that enjoys using it or considers it a good idea - slows you down to a snails pace and most of the features don’t work or aren’t there.

      Thank you for leaving a review – it’s great to hear you feel our team-based, collaborative culture is one of the things that not only drives our success but also makes working at Robert Walters enjoyable and rewarding. It’s what sets us apart from other recruitment businesses. I was saddened to read your comments about our CRM system. Being designed by our business, for our business means we can implement the features and functionality that allow us to deliver the highest levels of service to our clients and candidates. That said, we have always had to balance the needs of every region using it, whilst we completed our global deployment. We continue to work closely with all users to prioritise the improvements that make the most difference to everyone. We want to equip our consultants with intuitive, consumer-grade technology that empowers them to deliver exceptional service, connecting them to our industry-leading AI tools that free up their time to focus on the essential human connections in recruitment - this is the priority focus now deployment is complete but welcome any additional feedback. I’d be happy to discuss your feedback in more detail if you would like – you can reach out to me at dominic.dow@robertwalters.com to arrange a time for confidential discussion.

      Worth to start but not long term

      Consultant

      Pros

      Good company events, many fun people around, great team work if you're under the right team and right manager

      Cons

      the corporate culture is like a cult, KPI heavily focused, they dont care how much effort you spent they only care about result, some managers were promoted simply based on how much they have billed when they were senior cons...can have very bad management styles.
