Joining the Eden Brown Synergy team

A passion for talent

Eden Brown Synergy is professionally focused in everything we do. We provide recruitment solutions exclusively to our chosen sectors ensuring we are true experts in our markets. We champion the idea that all our consultants are immersed in the sectors that they recruit in, adding value to both clients and candidates. That is why our employees are at the centre of everything we do.

Our entrepreneurial culture is designed to give the brightest recruiters the freedom to take control over their desk and take an active role in shaping their teams and the office they work in, as well as the business as a whole. Our clear career paths help all our consultants work towards their aspirational positions, whether that is in management or maintaining an active sales position.

Our employee benefits are among the very best in recruitment, but it is not just our remuneration or incentives that attract the best talent to Eden Brown Synergy, it is also our approach to continual development. We train and develop every member of our team to be the very best that they can be. We ensure that each individual has the skills and tools they need to excel in their day to day roles but also as they progress to the next stage of their career.

Not your traditional recruitment company

Eden Brown Synergy is professionally focused in everything we do. We provide recruitment solutions exclusively to our chosen sectors ensuring we are true experts in our markets.

Our company culture is based around four main pillars – empowerment, personal and company growth, and a commitment to excellence.

Employee empowermentEden Brown Synergy has a long history of being shaped by its people, with a focus on building strong and successful teams rather than layers of management. Team members are encouraged to take ownership of their own desks, not only understanding their sales results but their entire P&L.

Rapid progression is a common occurrence amongst our driven consultants who can see how their efforts impact the business. Our clearly structured career paths identify what they need to achieve to take the next step in their career.

Personal and company growthAt Eden Brown Synergy we believe happy teams are productive teams. If we give everyone the opportunity to grow and develop both personally and professionally, they will provide the very best level of service to our candidates and clients as well as delivering successful results for the company.

We invest in our team members and want them to succeed in their career at Eden Brown Synergy, that’s why we have clear and transparent progression paths. This is backed up by a dedicated Learning and Development department and a suite of over 100 courses which are available to all, ensuring everyone has the tools they need to achieve excellence.

Commitment to excellenceOur commitment to excellence is not just something we talk about it’s something we live and breathe. Our strong entrepreneurial culture puts a focus on achieving successful sales results but we also champion best practice.That’s why in 1993 we became the first quality assured recruitment agency to achieve the ISO standard. We were also one of the first recruitment companies in the UK to be awarded the Investor in People accreditation, which we have proudly held since 1996.

Our focus and quest for unparalleled knowledge of the sectors in which we operate, allows us to focus on delivering the best level of customer service to both our candidates and clients.

Focus, knowledge, expertise

Our core values All Eden Brown Synergy team members are ambassadors for our brand and are expected to uphold our core values of authenticity, professionalism, effectiveness, exemplary service and engagement. We apply these values to all aspects of the business from our work ethic, right through to our corporate social responsibility, pledging our support and dedication to our charity of the year.

Anticipate, adapt, and growOur goal is to become the UK’s leading recruitment consultancy across all of our specialist disciplines, exceeding expectations and increasing our reputation as leaders in each field. This goal has been founded on the understanding that to be the best, you need to work with and develop the best. Employing top-quality consultants and exceptional support staff means that with every new hire, we are increasing our capacity to anticipate, adapt and grow. For Eden Brown Synergy, the right people add knowledge, ability, and potential to the team, making every member of staff integral to achieving growth and increasing market share.

Deliver the bestWhat sets Eden Brown Synergy apart from our competitors is that we are not focused on being the biggest agency but the best. We don’t sacrifice our ability to fully understand the markets our clients operate in, what their challenges are, and what makes the ideal candidate in pursuit of a short term windfall. This is why we not only have above average fill rates, but clients come to us safe in the knowledge they will have a consultant who understands their requirements and can deliver quality candidates that add value to their business.

The place for successful recruiters to thriveCreating an environment that allows recruiters to grow and develop is at Eden Brown Synergy’s core. This is not just about the physical surroundings, it is about ensuring that with every day a consultant works with us they excel at doing their jobs. Motivating and rewarding team members plays an important role in driving short term performance improvements, while long term success comes from giving consultants the freedom to take a more active role in their own desk. We encourage consultants to shape and contribute to their team whilst working within a structure that provides the support and training required for individuals to keep improving and progressing.

With an entrepreneurial culture and a focus on running an open and transparent business, we operate in a mature, grown up way where our team members are given the tools and freedom to take control of their desks.

Our team members are not the cogs in the massive staffing engines of the big generalist agency, nor are they in a tiny boutique business where they are unsupported. We feel we offer the best of both - the support of a large business but with the agility of a smaller boutique organisation. This means that our consultants work a bitdifferently. These are our expectations for new team members:

Planning and organisationEffectively organise and plan weekly activity covering:

• Meetingclients– to understand the clients you work with we aim for every consultant to meet at least eight clients per month

• Meetingcandidates – to understand the career aspirations of our candidates meeting them face-to-face is key and we expect every consultant to meet at least 15 candidates per month

• Identifybusinessdevelopmentopportunities – a core daily activity encompassing everything from research to calls and visits

• Developingrelationships – to build strong and long lasting relationships and realise their full potential

Quality and ComplianceAs one of the first recruitment businesses in the UK to achieve the Investor in People and ISO accreditation, quality and compliance is an important part of our ethos. Consultants are expected to actively demonstrate a full understanding of company quality standards and procedures, including:

• Health and safety• Equality and diversity• Disability awareness• Code of conduct

Additional details would be provided as part of our New Starter Induction Program.

Your developmentLearning and development is fundamental to your success and to the success of our organisation. Through effective, personalised development we enable each individual to make their maximum contribution and fulfiltheir potential.

We deliver the bulk of our learning in-house with the majority of sessions written, arranged and delivered byour group Learning and Development Team. Learning options currently in place include:

• Dedicated in-house training workshops• 1-2-1 coaching• Career breaks/sabbaticals• Financial assistance to gain professional qualifications• Management training days/external training days/team building programmes

For added effectiveness and credibility we engage “experts” from around the business who can share knowledge, real experience and commercial success with participants. Whenever possible the Learning and Development Team will travel to the consultant’s home office to deliver training, minimising their time away from the team and saving on delegate travel costs.

Learning and Development needs are identified with our managers at monthly meetings. The delivery style is varied as much as possible and includes classroom workshops, online support ,1-2-1 mentoring and coaching. This means we adapt to suit the learning style of each individual and do not simply roll out a one size fits allapproach.

Our team members are our greatest asset so we’ve developed various schemes, benefits and other features that aim to assist in their day-to-day work and personal life.
