Hello,
Yes, our consultants are amazing people and many of them develop lasting friendships, thanks for your feedback. Our goal is to recruit the best professionals who in turn recruit top talent for our prestigious clients, therefore, investing in our co-workers is the core of our strategy. However we do understand your frustration as we know that being a recruiter in an agency environment can be stressful.
We would like to remind you of a few practices that we implement for our employees:
- We have a progression career plan that is presented to all our employees on their first day and is available to view at any time on the intranet.
- Our Head of HR builds a personalised career plan with each employee and then follows their progression to ensure their success at Approach People. As we want our recruiters to grow with us, we also provide them with personalised training. As a result, 70% of our Recruiters become Senior Consultants in less than 2 years.
- Our managers and our HR team are always at the ready to listen to our employees, and help them handle the pressure of the agency environment. They also organise training on topics such as “Time Management”, for example, to help with prioritising and organisation techniques to assist employees in managing their workflow.
- We also offer plenty of training (both on-site and online) from how to use a LinkedIn recruiter account, to managing your clients and finding top candidates for your market. Most of our training is also available to view, at any time, on our intranet.
- We respect our colleagues decision to leave the company if they wish to do so. Some of our employees are keen to return to us, after experiencing what other companies have to offer, or after career breaks. For example, three months ago an employee re-joined us, having worked with us 10 years ago.
- Concerning our Glassdoor reviews, of course, we encourage our employees to write reviews and remind them of the value of sharing their positive and negative feedback about their experience. However it is completely voluntary. Our positive reviews are given by our happy employees. Note that all reviews are anonymous and Glassdoor does not provide information on their identity.
We are very proud of the number of positive reviews, from both current and past employees. We truly appreciate all of those who take the time to write a review for us, positive or not - as it enables us to understand what we are doing right and what we can do to improve our current policies and employee engagement, and provides us with an opportunity to highlight the benefits we provide to our employees.
- We do have French co-workers but we also have Irish, German and Spanish co-workers in our Dublin office. We are currently hiring more native English speakers however, we are also recruiting German, Spanish, Dutch and Italian speakers because we believe that a culturally diverse environment stimulates open-mindedness and progressive development. All our open positions are available to view on www.approachpeoplecareers.com
We welcome any ideas that we could implement to improve our company.
Wishing you a very good day,
Approach People.
