    Pros

    Great working environment - given both autonomy to get on with work, whilst support is there if needed In-house training is of an excellent standard, really helped coming from a non-recruitment background Really good career opportunities, RW are big on internal progression and rewarding people for the work they put in. Definitely a meritocratic environment

    Cons

    As per all recruitment agencies, the hours can be long

    Honest opinion here

    Jan 19, 2017 - Digital Marketing Assistant in Seoul
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    - Good work-life balance - Fun working environment - Great career progression Senior managers do their best to communicate and stay connected using different incentives – witty encouragement emails, an open door policy to speak freely about suggestions, more paid vacations days than market average, and fully stocked kitchen with fresh fruits and drinks. They are not going to hold your hand every time something comes up but they genuinely care about your well-being and definitely want to see you succeed and grow within the company.

    Cons

    Being in recruitment isn’t for everyone and a lot of change is always going on, BUT it keeps you stay focused and agile. If you stay proactive not reactive, you will do well here.

    Great place to work

    Aug 12, 2019 - Consultant in Singapore
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    The company invests in their people seriously. Managers are great at least the one I'm working with. Not transactional and a very team based working environment. That's the best part as everyone is helping you and vice versa.

    Cons

    Not any as such. Just needs to be more open to work life balance culture and bring in slightly more mature employees

    Force to do unethical recruitment

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    a very relaxing working environment

    Cons

    I was forcing to recruit candidate into a very unstable company. I have helped a MNC to recruit an outsource resource and a few candidates left the company within 1 -2 months because they found something not right in the company. once candidate left, I have to recruit again though I knew this was not good to get candidate in and some more I have hidden the fact from the candidates even they have been asked. The last candidate was terminated after 2 months as customer stop the contract with the company. The candidate became jobless. I felt sorry and changed to IT department and didn't want to become recruiter.
