GOOD RECRUITERS ARE FEW & FAR BETWEEN... #JOINTHEFEW

Incentives

We run some pretty cool, all-expenses-paid, company-wide holiday incentives. Think European destinations like Berlin and Ibiza right to awesome hot spots in the States such as Miami and Las Vegas. If you hit your target, you will be staying in the best hotels, eating at the best restaurants and partying in the best clubs. If that doesn't get you motivated, I don't know what will. Not to mention our unbeatable Christmas parties... Our last two were in Amsterdam and Dublin. We don't find out where we're going until we're at the airport.

Why us?

We don't just recruit.. we forge attractive workplaces and build effective teams for businesses that are going places! We’re constantly challenging the stereotype of an industry with a damaged reputation; we’re not generalists who take on any role, we’re proud to be community-led, we embed ourselves in our markets and deeply understand our candidates skill-sets. We are a great hub for those with a hungry mindset but want the flexibility and autonomy to be treated like an adult.

Culture

We don’t hate Mondays here. Our culture is woven into the fabric of Few&Far. We’re all individuals but each of us adds something special. Everyone has a voice here. Let us give you a feel for what it’s like being part of the Few. Our close knit team work out of our bright and collaborative WeWork in Waterloo. We’ve got (debatably) great tunes blasting all day long. We all get on and can have a laugh together, and as everyone specialises in their own area, there’s no stepping on anyone else’s toes. We always have something fun in the diary thanks to our awesome social committee too. There’s also some fab all-expenses paid holidays to look forward to when targets are reached. One thing’s for sure, there’s never a dull day here.

Extensive Training

When you start at Few & Far, we don't just put you at a desk and make you get on the phone. You'll be sitting with your team mates who are at a similar level to you, and your mentor will be there to guide you throughout your first few months, and on-going thereafter. We are proud to say that we have an extensive 'Few & Far' training programme for all levels, that we have developed internally from what we've seen works and what we know doesn't. You will also have sessions with several members across the company to train you on all things recruitment and the specialist markets we work in.

Collaboration

We put a very strong emphasis on a collaborative culture and because we're still quite small, it means we often work with different team members across the business. We have an open plan work space where we listen to music and have regular team meetings where we are working on company projects outside of your "everyday recruitment". We have fortnightly meetings over beers where we go through the ideas box... Samm and Nick love it when we speak up with idea’s so you can't take a back seat here, we want to hear what everyone has to say! Off the back of a company-wide cultural survey we ran, we identified issues around work-life balance and were given benefits like two-hours free a week (time we don’t have to make up), unlimited holiday if you’re on target, 1.5 hour lunch break for the gym and two days a month where we can work from home. Speak up and be heard!
