Great ambition and a clear vision. It really feels like we have momentum and are going places. I've already managed to travel to a couple of European countries and the client list is expanding.

Could we grow more quickly?

Growing firm, great leadership
|
|
- Excellent leadership; regular weekly appraisals help keep performance on track. You are able to have frank conversations that never feel confrontational or overly KPI focused
- Reasonably rapid promotion if you do well - as a junior employee make about four placements and you're on your way
- Opportunity to develop own ideas and pursue new business ideas - a lot of freedom (providing you can make the business case!)
- You work with genuinely high-tier clients: River punches above its weight in this regard
- Doesn't feel to "salesy" - the atmosphere of the company echoes that of that of its tier 1 clients - there's no "boiler room" style feel
- Good company nights out and reward schemes for good performance
|
- Not really something River should worry about fixing, as I understand the reasoning behind it: be aware that while you are an "Associate Consultant" (so for graduates/junior employees) your commission is capped at a few hundred pounds per placement, which can suck a little when you make a high-value placement! This ceases to be an issue once you've been promoted (Consultant+) as River's commission is very competitive from that point on. I believe that one of the reasons River does this is because it means there's more incentive for junior employees to make those initial placements and get promoted!

Ambition!
|
|
Great platform, real investment in me in terns training and development, and opportunity in general. Fun place and ambitious. I have been pushed hard and handed more responsibility each year.
|
In the big scheme of things we are still a small firm so naturally there are growing firms. Consistency!

Great firm, big aspirations, only as good as the sum of our parts. Consistent year on year growth so far!
|

I’ve been a search consultant at River for just under three years. It’s been an exciting few years, tough at times but very rewarding. We’ve helped to build a search business literally from scratch. It’s obviously had it’s challenges but its been incredibly rewarding. I’ve been part of retained and contingent campaigns across Europe and Asia for genuinely Tier 1 brands. Management really care about development and I’ve benefited from a great deal of internal and external development. The commission is very good and there’s a real opportunity to progress quickly in terms of increased responsibility, account man, team leadership etc.
|
As we’re growing the infrastructure can be stretched at times. You only get back what you put in and it can be hard work! We’re still a small team working at close quarters so one awkward personality in the ranks can have an adverse effect...
