Decent - werkgeversreview Content Specialist bij ISE Partners

ISE are a cut above the rest when it comes to recruitment. They have an amazing client base which demands high calibre recruiters, and I am genuinely proud that I worked for nearly 2 years at such a highly reputable recruitment boutique. The culture at ISE is one of autonomy in terms of organising and planning your daily activities, but there is a lot of support just by nature of senior management being involved in actual recruitment activities as well as running the business. With everyone sitting together in a close knit environment, it means that ideas for good client/candidate matches are easy to discuss and bounce around with each other. There is a strong sense that the ISE family really want to enable each other to succeed. I would not have left were it not to pursue further education - before ISE I worked a typical recruitment company where you're promised the world but frankly find yourself amongst sharks, and I can safely say ISE is nothing like that. As well as developing a lot as a professional at ISE, I made lasting friendships and love to go back to catch up with the team.

I felt that the commission structure wasn't the best when I was there unless you were really bringing in a lot of business, however I know that there is now a very rewarding structure in place. One style of recruitment that works in the short term is to fling stuff at a wall and hope that it sticks - that will not work at ISE, so if that's your style, best to go elsewhere!

I came to ISE Partners with 3 years of secretarial recruitment experience and I can honestly say that it is such a great place to work. Working in an autonomous way where everyone is trusted to manage their own time, ISE is far from the type of agency where consultants are glued to their desks until they make 50 sales calls. The Directors enforce a professional yet friendly environment where individuals make work a part of their life... something unheard of in recruitment. Consultants are encouraged to build their desk in line with companies that interest them and they feel inspired by. Employees are given guidance and advice on a daily basis. There is also comprehensive training provided that all consultants are encouraged to attend, as well as the chance to gain accredited qualifications that the company will cover the cost of. With realistic KPI's and encouragement from the team, it is a great place to work, whether you are a fresh from university or an experienced consultant :)

The treat table and Friday drinks...it's a constant battle to avoid temptation
