Pros

Good location, I met some genuine friends here as everyone is young and from similar international backgrounds

Cons

There is absolutely no job security in this role. Stay far away, especially if you require a visa to work. You will be overworked and not appreciated. The target is not easy to hit, and clients cancel calls last minute. This is not reflected, and all your hard work goes to nothing. It is entirely a sales job which success depends on other factors than how much you work, e.g the client not canceling the calls etc. People are fired with a same day notice, and there is absolutely no work-life balance. You are expected to work overtime every single day, and many employees are burn out/ slash are anxious the entire time. Do not be tricked by the starting salary or the buzzwords, this is a toxic and rotten company

Pros

Rapid Progression & Recognition: Performance is directly rewarded here. If you hit your goals and show drive, the path to promotion and career growth is transparent and fast. Strong Team Culture: The team energy is fantastic. Everyone is highly collaborative, supportive, and commercially minded, which makes for a great working environment. High Autonomy: From day one, you are given real ownership over your projects (like leading recruitment events, managing candidates, and driving partnerships), allowing you to grow your commercial skills rapidly.

Cons

High Velocity & Pressure: The work is very fast-paced with strict timelines and high-volume expectations. It is not a place where you can coast, and you need to be comfortable working under commercial pressure. Resilience is Key: Sourcing and recruiting require a great deal of resilience. You have to be comfortable with rejection and persistent in finding creative solutions to hit your targets.
