Rise Technical Recruitment Limited Employee Reviews

There was Great training Formed some great friendships out of it We all had two managers from two different cities - a tad weird. One manager you rarely saw Typical day is structured into candidates, clients, writing job adverts, emailing, looking at emails.

Pros

Generous manager, good friendships

Cons

They said you shouldn’t work long hours but then say you need to really - contradicting

Draining and micromanaged environment

Recruitment Consultant (Former Employee) - Manchester, Greater Manchester - 3 May 2023

Micromanaging managers and cult like company behaviour. You'll be working 8-5:30 but they expect you to be in atleast 30mins early and already working.

not reading CVs and can't be contacted vie email, phone nor text

Engineer (Former Employee) - Bristol - 18 July 2022

Waste of time to apply to their adverts.Generic response: "not shortlisted".Potential employees and employers loose out because of some inexperienced agent(s) are put in a position of power to turn down an application without any accountability (typical millennials). In my instance, the skills exceeded the requirements. It is a difficult situation while many respectful employers outsource recruitment and trust the agents judgement.

Cons

inexperienced agents who don't even try

Great place to work

Trainee (Current Employee) - Bristol - 18 April 2020

Rise Technical is a great place to work because you are really valued no matter what your role is within the company. They provide excellent training to get you where you want to grow within the company - whether that to be to progress to management or to become a principal consultant and eventually directorship. They've got a really good company culture where likeminded people are happy to help and everyone feels part of a team.

Best choice I ever made!

Trainee Consultant (Current Employee) - Bristol City Centre, Bristol - 18 April 2020

As someone who has never worked in recruitment before I am so happy that I joined Rise. The support from everyone in my team and higher level management is really great and I feel so valued and part of the team. Rise is a great company to work for and success is very well rewarded. It is great to work for a company where management standby you and support you as they want you to be the best.

Great place to work

Recruitment Consultant (Current Employee) - Bristol, UK - 8 April 2020

Only been at Rise for less than a year, but I have learnt so much already and have been really taken care of by everyone there. There are many opportunities to build a career for the long term, especially as the company continues to expand. They provide great training and development structures for their staff with regular meetings / reviews for everyone to have their own input. They also have a great commission structure to help boost your earning potential. Unlike many businesses, the directors are very much involved with the company and all of its staff, constantly showing their face to encourage people and listen to any concerns they may have. Although it is very much a tough working environment with long hours etc., there is very much a work hard play hard culture. Everyone gets stuck in at all levels of the business both in and out of work, encouraging one another and supporting each others goals. As long as you want to be there, others will want you to be there too.

Avoid

Wind farm technician (Former Employee) - Inverness, Highland - 25 January 2020

I was miss sold a job. Was told of the great advancing career path ways to find out in reality it wasn't the case. The company have no regard for the moral obligation they have to ensure the job is actually what their client says it is. Commission

Cons

Making terrible jobs seem better, No acceptance of mistake of fault, no moral obligation to seek out the reality of a job, mis selling of jobs

Cons

Occasionally take a while to respond to communications

Fake adverts, acts like a scam; very rude on the phone.

Job applicant (Former Employee) - UK - 11 October 2019

Intruder agency. Only calls to discover your current work...basically just like a spy so be aware as this agency can damage your current job. Harry at the agency is very rude on the phone. He also lacks the intelligence and skills of basic communication.

Good place to build a career with like minded people.

Senior Consultant (Current Employee) - United Kingdom - 22 March 2019

A great place to build a career with like minded individuals, the commission you can earn is based on the work you put in as is the progression route. The working environment is a good mix of competitive, fun and fast paced.

Excellent Company

Recruitment Consultant (Current Employee) - Bristol City Centre, Bristol - 11 October 2018

Great company to work for providing you want to do something with your life. Best commission rates in the industry and progression all the way from Trainee level through to Directorship. A fun, dynamic environment where no one takes themselves too seriously. Every individual is here to be the best they can be and this is celebrated by everyone else in the business. All in all, a great company to work for which is lead by good, ambitious people who genuinely care about their staff.

Pros

Cons

None

A company that rewards exceptional results

Recruitment Manager (Current Employee) - Bristol City Centre, Bristol - 11 October 2018

The company is built on a culture of excellence and this is made apparent from day one. The training is second to none and is supported by the achievement of "Investors in people Gold award." The support and direction from the director team down through the management team and senior members of staff is refreshing and really makes every individual feel valued with a clear purpose. Recruitment does have a stigma attached to the industry but the environment does not feel like a glorified, cutthroat call-centre - there is a real buzz to the environment generated by like-minded individuals that makes the job both challenging and enjoyable.

Pros

Excellent opportunities for career progression, Rewarded for your own efforts rather than relying on "who you know", Great earning potential, A buzzing, sociable environment with like-minded individuals

Cons

What's not to like about unlimited career progression, earning potential and rewards to support your achievements?

Great working environment, great earnings, great progression!!

Manager (Current Employee) - Bristol, Bristol - 10 October 2018

Great working environment, great earnings, great progression!! Guidance and coaching to progress all the way from Trainee to a Director. Progression is based on your results, rather than length of service which is a breathe of fresh air within this industry. A great company with a even better director team that will support you through thick and thin.
