Great - Recruiter Pod Talent Employee Review

Honestly a great company to work for. —professional but still has that family feel. The client base and reputation in the market are fantastic, and the commission scheme and career progression are super clear. The culture is nothing like the usual recruitment environments; it’s genuinely supportive and people-first. And the CEO? Easily the most caring and understanding leader you could ask for—ambitious in the best way, always pushing for the best but in a way that’s actually achievable and enjoyable. If you want to grow in your career without the usual cutthroat recruitment vibe, this is the place to be!

Fast-paced, high expectations, but to be honest that’s not really a con. Just a note that you need to be driven and self-motivated to succeed. Recruitment in general can be challenging.

Looking back on my time here, there are a great deal of pros that came with working for Pod. Firstly there is a great training structure in both the process of recruitment, but also about the FMCG industry and the supply chain. I came straight from University and was provided with training that meant I adapted quickly and effectively in the role. Once settled in the role, you are given a great deal of autonomy to run your own desk. You are also exposed to industry experts in FMCG as the reputation of Pod (and their senior management team) means that people are interested to hear what you have to say and work with you. The values of the company are not just a marketing gimmick- the whole team live by them and you do get a real sense of collaboration across the business. The senior management and operations manager are approachable and down to earth. They give honest and constructive feedback and provide an environment where you develop organically rather than being forced into unrealistic targets. There are also excellent socials and events that are put on throughout the year (which I miss)

Not everyone left on time, but that is hardly a con
