******** WORST COMPANY I HAVE EVER BEEN INVOLVED WITH.
AVOID, AVOID, AVOID !! ***********
Just about everything. Pay (both basic and commission) are very poor, trainings are non-existent, management structure is based on favouritism rather than merit and support of workers, both in and out of the office, by management is discouraged. First of all, the problem of pay: Consultants at Templeton are woefully underpaid from the get-go. Presumably anyone reading this will be considering joining one of the teams in London, Frankfurt or Amsterdam. If getting by every month in these three expensive cities

When you tell people you work in a recruitment agency they ask you questions like how many hours overtime do you do to hit your target and how stressed you are. Working at Templeton you are not forced to work overtime but people are happy to stay a bit longer if they want to and they get rewarded and appreciated for their hard work with fun incentives and a nice environment. Since I started working for Templeton Ive never experienced the stress I used to have. The people in the office are always up for a laugh or go out for after work drinks.

I have been working for Templeton and Partners for about 6 months now, and the moment I started at Templeton and Partners, I had the feeling that they delivered recruitment services differently to other companies I have worked at before. The reason why is because everyone is treated the same, regardless of position in the company, and you can feel the joy of each and every consultant from any one of the hubs, which is then echoed in the way we work with both candidates and clients. I believe Templeton and Partners has found a way to manage its team and deliver recruitment solutions, that works

The recruitment industry is known to be cut-throat and notorious for its high/rapid turnover of staff, but I have been working with Templeton for over 6 years now and still loving it having had the opportunity to work for their London, Shanghai and now Frankfurt office. Its a close-knit company, comprised of young but experienced managers who are in turn supported by enthusiastic and budding recruitment consultants. Templeton are target-driven and expected to work hard, yet the company offers a fun and relaxed work environment where the managers lead from the front and you wont be micro-managed

Integrity is the narrative for me at Templeton & Partners, it runs through its very veins. With honesty and transparency thrown in for good measure.
Nadeem the MD genuinely cares about people and their personal achievement. He mentors from the heart and is investing to provide the best foundation possible for talent to triumph. Its a fun, fast-paced environment with achingly cool offices (across all hubs too)! As for the people? Honest, hard-working and fun. And because the business and the MD demonstrably cares about the teams success, each returns the favour to their peers. Ultimately
