Ever found yourself working with the wrong manager in the wrong company????

When you think back…were the signs present during the recruitment process? Did the horror unfold in the first few weeks, or did it take months?

Avoid a career faux pas by talking to a trusted recruitment professional. They will give you insight into the companies and managers to work for, and the ones to avoid. They know the real reason people leave a firm, not the sanitised version offered in an exit interview. Recruitment professionals know how regularly staff turnover, how good systems and processes are, how engaged a workforce is and how well trained the management team is.

The recruitment process is your chance to do your research and ask the right questions. If you do your due diligence, by the time an offer comes, you will know whether you are accepting a great opportunity, or staring at a career disaster waiting to happen.
