Keep Positive! - Anonymous employee Blue Octopus Recruitment Employee Review

Blue Octopus are a forward thinking, innovative company. They realise that their people are key to their success and they cultivate a friendly atmosphere, where everyone really cares about each other. Its great to be part of an organisation that has grown and seen many successes since 2010. Also, unusually in the recruitment world, they have an abundance of solid, long term relationships with clients, and many happy clients who enjoy benefiting from the honest, friendly and enthusiastic approach that the team here take to looking after them. Its really refreshing to be part of, in an industry that can otherwise be quite cut throat. Very different from your typical city centre agency. I feel that working here, you can be 100% yourself at work as well as feeling truly valued and inspired to be the best that you can be.

If you are looking to work for a more 'agency-like' company and want to be part of a recruitment world that involves late night partying, city living, champagne drinking and splashing cash around, this isn't the right place for you. However, on the plus side, I would say that as long as you honestly want to work hard, look after people and do things properly, you will find an extremely rewarding career here.

There is a great togetherness. We all work hard to reap the benefit of being one of the leading online recruitment service providers in the UK. Our technology is second to none and helps everyone within the business, clients and candidates to get the most out of the recruitment process. All members of the team are great to get on with and we have an award winning spirit. Senior Management and the Directors are great people to work with too. They provide full support whenever you need it so you're never left to one side and forgotten about.

Unfortunately there have been some very negative people in the past as I can see on the reviews earlier on this profile. Majority are so called sales people who talk the talk but can't do the walk. They think they can just waltz in, take no notice of the Senior Management and Directors training programme and advice then produce sales however when they fail, they just decide it's down to the company's excellent and award winning services and also down to the Senior Management and Directors training which couldn't be further from the truth!
