Ich wollte das nicht schreiben, aber... - Recruitment Consultant bei Searchability: Mitarbeiterbewertung

We understand that when we have to take the decision to let employees go that they may choose to take to this platform to vent their frustrations, however due to some of the utterly false and frankly illegal allegations you have made I have no choice but to report this to Glassdoor, as these comments have clearly been left to attack and attempt to damage our business. I will however respond as much as I can to each point raised within the parameters of this platform although there is a lot of duplication from a previous post that is remarkably similar in content as well as context: Every decision is made to drive the business forward, and unfortunately this means we sometimes have to terminate employment from individuals who are consistently underperforming . We do not take these decisions lightly, and despite our best efforts to encourage you to meet the potential we genuinely saw from you when you started, it would be unfair to continue on this path when you are unable to demonstrate the willingness to do the same. We are extremely considerate about budgets for tools, with the success of each tracked monthly based upon usage and financial return. Many of our people have achieved a higher proportion of placements through the tools we onboarded in the past twelve months, despite yourself clearly not embracing these in the same way. Navigating the pandemic has been challenging for every business, and we honestly did as much as we possibly could to help every individual at Searchability. We have a commitment to inclusivity at Searchability, and treat every individual equally whether they are on their first day or sixth year at the company. Your comment about commission is completely incorrect, Commission was paused for everyone in March whilst we assessed the wider implications for the business. Everyone received the entirety of their commission back in equal portions as a % uniform across the whole company regardless of whether you were a trainee / Team Leader or Manager by the end of October(7 months). We were unfortunately not in a position to top up furlough payments during the lockdown, evidenced by the pause in commission you have previously cited. We did have to make the decision to let go of people in December, and in the majority of cases the decision was down to revenue generation, however, in a couple of instances we have had to make decisions based upon attitude and where people have demonstrated a reluctance to embrace training, tools, advice, support or mentoring we were left with no alternative to protect the wider business from an evolving toxicity, evidence of which can be found in this fabricated review. Now, these are incredibly serious and false allegations you have raised. We have an absolute zero tolerance policy to drug use, racism and sexism in this company as you well know. Not only is this illegal but there is absolutely no place for this behavior in our society. There is zero evidence of this, and this attempt to attack the character of the colleagues you referred to as “mostly great” at the beginning of this review will not be tolerated. I have no choice but to report these claims to Glassdoor for investigation. We bolster internal training with external training and open this up to every level of recruiter so that each employee is constantly developing, surely this is a benefit? I have never heard this mentioned as a complaint before? Believe me when I say that the Directors and Senior Managers here are some of the most dedicated and hard working people I have ever met, the past year has highlighted this with many making personal sacrifices in order to try and protect the positions of new hires and working tirelessly through late nights and weekends throughout the pandemic. Your comments are baseless. Our workforce are currently working from home as we speak, as they did through March – July and sporadically where needed from August-November. We have invested in a whole raft of tools and equipment to enable them to do this. No-one has ever or will ever be coerced in writing reviews of any kind for these types of platforms as you will testify during your time here. I can only assume some of your former colleagues have also taken exception to the bitter and childish way you have chosen to attack them personally through your spurious allegations and one can only guess what your next cause for grievance will be. I just hope that this platform sharpens up it's due diligence to prevent further nonsense being published. I am sorry that this has ended this way, it feels so unnecessary but given the behavior you are demonstrating it reaffirms that our decision was in fact correct, albeit forced upon us due to external pressures of the current pandemic. I wish you every success in your next move. Take good care. Martin
