      Good company to work for if you aim for a recruitment firm

      Manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very family-friendly Good benefits e.g. medical / AL 20+ / a lot of different types of leave Global / regional resources & exchange opportunities Most of the people here are nice and friendly

      Cons

      If cannot perform, you have to go. But I guess that applies to most of the companies. In general it’s a fast pacing and demanding industry so be sure you are ready for it.

      Authentic experience from an insider

      CEO approval

      Pros

      Nice people and great business support team 20AL + but do you dare to use them as a salesperson?

      Cons

      * Very high turnover; if you don't perform, you leave, because you can't cover your cost (salary) * As a fresh grad, you are paid little and expected to perform before you learn. Everyone is busy and can offer so little time. You are expected to sell and meet clients in your first year and if you fail to do that or be liked by your manager, you are likely to leave once they find your replacement * Internal changes happen often. I have co-workers who realized their boss had changed upon their first day, and their specialization had changed upon hiring. * No transparency in the commission structure. You have to put up with manager taking 80% of your commission, but the base salary is decent and can vary greatly for one title. * Upon laid offs: Not compensated. They would convince you to "resign" on your behalf so the official reason is "resignation" rather than "termination," which looks better" on your profile. It is a cost-saving technique not to pay compensation. * Long hours. Leaving at 8 is usual unless you are a top performer.

      Thank you for leaving a review, I’m glad you enjoyed working with your colleagues, we work hard to build a collaborative team culture. I’m disappointed, however, to read your cons; we’re proud of the training we provide to people who are new to the recruitment industry – we often see feedback on Glassdoor that the hands-on training and support we provide helps people build successful careers in recruitment and our learning and development programme equips people at every stage of their career to thrive in our high-performance culture. And whilst we understand that our team-based profit share model is unique in the industry, we believe it sets us apart from our competitors, ensuring that our clients and candidates receive the best service and that we can recognise our people for their full contribution to the team. Nonetheless we are always open to feedback – if you’d like, you can reach out to me at jasper.chan@robertwalters.com.hk to arrange a confidential discussion.
