Eames Consulting Group Reviews

Pros

Stable culture that promotes autonomy, trust and high performance
Strong recognition programme from commission to incentives that are achievable and fun
Business boasts some very credible and experienced consultants and continues to hire some very impressive consultants
Brand is well-known in core markets so easy to hit the ground running
Lots of investment in the business from internal hiring, training and marketing

Pros

The company actively seek feedback from their employees and take this onboard to continue to develop our employee proposition. We have a strong business culture and understand the importance of a positive work life balance.

Advice to Management

Continue to take onboard new ideas and initiatives to ensure we remain a great place to work.

Pros

Fantastic Brand, really good people working there.

Pros

I have just recently left Eames to immigrate to Australia after spending the last 3 years at the business. They took me on as a grad, trained and promoted me up to Senior Consultant level and most importantly they helped me make a lot of money!

While every manager and his/her team are different, Eames generally operates with a comprehensive set of principles across the board making it a welcoming yet slick and professional place to work. They have an incredible client base already in place across banking and insurance, but also a great name in the industry if you want to build out a new market.

They are both proactive and reactive to our needs (the consultants) and because of this I have seen a lot of change and investment over the years in order to maintain their competitive advantage - senior leadership, commission & incentives, technology and training. While change can sometimes cause people to be unsettled, there was always good cause and the positive implications have all come to fruition in the last 6-12 months reflected in the record breaking month the business has just experienced – sadly making the decision to leave even harder.

There are hundreds of recruitment consultancies in London that lack professionalism and operate poorly, often giving a bad perception of the industry - Eames is thankfully NOT one of these organisations and I will really miss both the business and the people that work there.

I wish them all the best.

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you're doing - listening to your staff and investing in the business

Pros

1. Work Culture
2. Work-life balance
3. People
4. Good growth
5. Great for people looking to build a career in recruitment

Pros

A handful of excellent SME remain but mainly on the permanent side

Advice to Management

Instead of asking your remaining staff to load up positive reviews wouldn’t it be easier to recognise your failings - everyone that has left has given similar feedback - surely the brand that has been built deserves better.
I look forward to the CEO responding with his usual lack of substance :)

Pros

Good collaboration/cross selling between different teams
Excellent relationships within insurance
Good commission structure with further incentives for excellent performers

Pros

Medium size botique company, less kpis, strong commission structures, Owner is on site and very involved

Pros

Eames has a strong reputation and a great client base, especially within the insurance sector and gives consultants a great platform from which to succeed.

The high performers here are up there with the best in the London market and there is every opportunity for talented newcomers to bill significant figures within their first couple of years.

There's a good social culture, incentives have been tweaked to be more inclusive for all levels and there has been a big recent investment in learning & development, the CRM and a Sales Director to drive the business forwards.

The back office teams are strong & more than capable of supporting growth.

Advice to Management

Be bold, keep chasing experienced hires from competitors (as competitors have done to us in the past couple of years), some fantastic people have joined in the past few months.

Follow through with the investment in the AC programme, training & making Eames the best possible place to work.

Pros

Professional & supportive outfit with high achieving consultants and wealth of experience
