BrighterBox reviews

You are part of a close-knit team which supports each other and creates a happy, friendly but also hardworking atmosphere. You are given the right balance between guidance and autonomy which allows you to develop quickly as an individual and as a recruiter. You work with a lot of exciting startups and learn about different industries and job roles! It's not what you would class as a 'typical recruitment' workplace but it is a fast paced environment which helped me improve my personal work ethic and if you are driven the earning potential is uncapped. If you are outgoing and enjoy talking to new people each day, then it is the job for you! I can also say it is extremely satisfying and rewarding when you make a placement - even after a year I was still fist pumping whenever it happened.

Before working at BrighterBox, I didn’t really know what recruitment involved. Like many others, I think I probably subscribed to that stereotype of a “recruiter” as that dude in an ill-fitting three-piece, desperately pushing a telesales roles in your face so they can smash their quarterly targets. My experience of recruitment at BrighterBox could not have been any further from this. Within a month, I found myself working directly alongside the founders of other cool entrepreneurial startups, and it was rewarding to build relationships with them and to play an instrumental role in growing their businesses. I also spent my time chatting to many friendly grads, and I was really invested in helping them to find their perfect job. I even feel like I’ve left with some new friends. The team at BrighterBox is small and friendly. Charlie the CEO is lovely and always on hand to offer support (and general football-related patter), whilst at the same time affording you the kind of independence and responsibility that your more corporate-minded friends/drones would kill for. Team outings to the local food markets (Leather Lane and Exmouth Market) are naughty and nice in equal measure.
