Pros

Used to be fun and had a great culture. People were friendly and really cared. Good brand and had lots of inbound work.

Cons

Terribly mismanaged. CEO should’ve left a long time ago. Incompetent people, right up to the very top, left to run riot and never dealt with.

Thank you for your honest feedback, and we’re sorry that this was your experience. The recruitment industry has undergone a great deal of economic difficulty and uncertainty over the past two years. Unfortunately, Acre hasn’t been immune to this. Through these challenges, while we’ve remained proud of our culture and the work we do to drive impact, we acknowledge that we haven’t always got everything right. Now and as we move forward, our greatest priority is that we set our people and our business up for success, uphold our values, and ensure that we make decisions with integrity. If you would be open to a confidential discussion, please do reach out to Andy, Richard, or James. Thank you, The Acre Team​

Pros

I've been with Acre for almost six years and have really enjoyed my experience. The team is collaborative, supportive, and genuinely great to work with. I've had great mentors throughout my time here (and continue to), and leadership has always been supportive of my career development. Even in a challenging market, Acre continues to invest in its people through networking opportunities, and industry events. We're a small team but everyone wants each other to succeed, and people are always willing to go out of their way to help.

Cons

The sustainability recruiting market can be challenging at times, which can create periods of uncertainty, but leadership is transparent and supportive throughout.
