Look harder - PSO FDM Group Employee Review

Jonathan Young, CIO: "Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry that you feel you have not had a good experience at FDM. We are extremely upfront regarding the pay package that we provide. It is outlined a number of times during the recruitment process before we present it to you in the contract. In addition, there is a 2 week “cooling-off” period at the start of the training where should you decide to leave, you are free to do so without fulfilling the contract, which is unusual for a graduate training programme. Our business model includes award-winning training, support and a network that you would not find from a recruitment agency. We employ all our candidates ourselves and therefore are clearly not a recruitment agency. The training has been designed in collaboration with our clients and their specifications – and is regularly valued successfully against the market. This bespoke training is one of the reasons they continue to work with us for the long-term. I am sorry you felt that the training/trainers were ‘below average’. Trainees are asked to provide training feedback weekly, as I am sure you experienced, so I hope you raised your concerns at the time so that we had a chance to improve on any specific areas you are referring to. If you did not, and you would like to speak to me personally about areas of training, HR or Account Management that can be improved, please contact me by emailing jonathan.young@fdmgroup.com."
