I had a number of phone and Zoom interviews followed up by 2 face to face meetings at their Head Office in Faringdon. The process took around 3 weeks in total. I was asked to return for the 2nd time to review the marketing aspect for the role to determine suitability which was fine. I was offered the position with the company which I was delighted with. The contract was sent to me to review over the weekend and sign. It was then that I saw that they were not prepared to commit to the £500 marketing monthly contribution in the contract, which they highlighted many times over the process, and was one of the reasons that attracted me to them. They also inserted a £250 & vat monthly charge to myself as a platform fee, which I highlight, was never documented to me at any time during the entire interview process, which in my opinion was both unacceptable and unprofessional. When I queried this point, the response was an apology and it was overlooked in the process. I rejected the contract on this basis. There are similar models that offer a far higher commission split from day one and the benefits of the support and marketing from Nested were sadly missing from the contractual agreement. I felt their process was extremely nontransparent and they should have been upfront from the start. I felt their communication in replying to me with queries and feedback was delayed time and time again and the whole process left me feeling frustrated and disappointed. I believed we were an excellent match other than the contractual terms. As employers I found them amicable, and on a 121 basis there was no problem at all. I felt they were protecting their shareholders and were reluctant to contractually commit long term to their promises which was disappointing. A job offer that financially committed me to £3k a year from day 1 was not what I was looking for on these commission terms. I felt they wasted my time.
