Recruitment Process & First few Months

Business development manager

Business Outlook

Pros

The recruitment process was very quick, structured and professional. After my phone interview I was quickly asked to meet face to face at one of the UK Offices. One week after my initial interview was my second interview and I was offered the position that afternoon. A very positive experience. I have been welcomed into the business with open arms and the team around me have supported me through every step so far. My direct manager is constantly monitoring my progress and ensuring I have everything I need to have a successful on boarding process.

Cons

The only issue I have had is not receiving a phone very quickly. Although my laptop was available early on and the set up very quick, I still had quite a wait for my phone.
