Pros
ssentia was my first full-time role in recruitment. Not only did I hugely enjoy my time there, but it was a major factor in my decision to choose recruitment as a career - one that I am still enjoying today almost five years later. There are two major plus points of joining Essentia - the first is undoubtedly the platform it provides hungry, ambitious recruitment consultants, across all seniorities and experience levels, to excel. The mentoring I received there was first class, and I often draw on experiences and lessons I learned there to provide solutions in my current business. The second is the culture. Being a small firm, the camaraderie amongst the team is absolutely fantastic - something essential if any sales environment is to be successful. Outside of the office we would socialise and often went on trips away together, and I remain good friends with several ex-colleagues. A true 'work hard, play hard' environment, with a leadership team that works hard to get the best out of each individual. In conclusion I can’t speak highly enough of my time there, or of the team – and I would thoroughly recommend them to anybody who is serious about a career in recruitment
