CPL Resources – “I am proud to work for Cpl”

Pros

- I have to note that the comments below were made between 2008 and 2010 at the height of the Recession! Things weren't easy for anyone running a business and cut backs had to be made across all business including Cpl. I don't know anyone in Ireland who wasn't affected.

- After joining Cpl, I had great times and tough times (mainly due to the recession).
- Cpl is and always have been highly focused on staff training and development (this always has
  been there, which is why the below comments are suprising to me.)
- Entrepreneurship mentality - some people are just born to work in recruitment and others are not.
- Excellent internal communication.
- Great staff education programmes .
- Lots on the social side.
- Opportunity to progress.
- Packages in place for the right people, if it isn't happening for you you will know quickly that
  Recruiting is not the job for you.

- A great, dynamic and challenging place to work.

Cons

Let's face it Recruitment is a tough business and not many people are cut out for this line of work -sales calls, achieving targets, tracking, business development, client management, and so on.

All of our new recruitment staff are placed through rigorous interviewing procedures and are fully aware of the difficulties that recruiting involves.

Salaries: Low base salary with training allowance. Commission is added onto this. All new employees are aware that they need to reach a target and make things happen.
