Martyn Bassett Associates

It's a sub-20 people company and a very flat organization, which means you get to wear multiple hats and see many aspects of the candidate- and client-experience.

We get to work with some cutting-edge Technology companies and talent with very interesting stories to tell on both sides, which makes the job extremely enjoyable!

3rd-party recruitment is sales. We have quotas on a weekly, monthly and yearly basis. If you do well, you are richly rewarded but, on the flipside, it means ramp-ups need to be fast and impact needs to be made quickly.

If you've been in more than 1 small Recruitment company before, you know attrition is high across the board. We have very tight timelines and high expectations, given that we are a Retained search firm. Not everyone is suited to that type of environment, but the people around me that have adapted quickly have managed to have a lot of success here.

I was working on a project that was very important to the company, but upper management was loathsome and horrible in their treatment of me. They refused to give me the resources or support I needed to be successful, even though I repeatedly asked for them. This made it very difficult to meet my deadlines and I felt like I was being set up to fail. I was constantly stressed and overwhelmed, and I felt like I was the only one who cared about the project. Upper management didn't seem to care about my success of failure, and they only seemed concerned with making themselves look good. The experience was very hurtful and it made me question my career choices. I felt like I was being punished for my hard work and dedication, and I was not given a fair chance to succeed. 

Martyn Basset Associates has created a toxic work environment where employees are overworked, stressed, and left feeling depressed. The  management consistently imposes unreasonable demands on the workforce, expecting employees to work long hours without adequate support or resources. Furthermore, the lack of proper communication  with the management exacerbates the situation, as concerns and feedback go unheard or are BLATANTLY ignored. It's disheartening to see the CEO, president, and founders of the company prioritize their interests over the well-being of their staff. This is a company to AVOID at all costs!

The company's leadership displayed manipulative and toxic behavior, creating a negative work environment. The management was deceitful and filled with abusive individuals who were more interested in exploiting employees rather than supporting them. They seemed more focused on exploiting employees rather than fostering a supportive and collaborative atmosphere. The overall compensation provided was inadequate and did not reflect the efforts put in by employees. Given these issues, I would caution anyone considering a job here!

I was constantly pressured to generate new business, but I was not given the resources or support I needed to be successful. Upper management was more interested in micromanaging and criticizing my work than in providing me with the guidance and tools I needed to succeed. When I did manage to close new deals, I was often underpaid and tools I underappreciated. Upper management was quick to take credit for my successes, but they were slow to offer praise or recognition. The high turnover rate is a testament to the toxic work environment created by upper management. I would not recommend this company to anyone who values their career or their well-being. 

The employees often felt oppressed by the unrelenting pressure to meet the owner's unattainable expectations. This made the work environment feel unseemly and toxic, as the employees were forced to endure constant stress and anxiety. Despite their employees' struggles, the owner remained steadfast in their insistence on overcommitting, even though the results of their efforts were often futile. This was a clear sign of their self-absorption and lack of concern for the well-being of those around them. 

I'm learning a lot from this job in just a short amount of time. We're a small team (less than 20) so I get to wear a lot of hats and I like it because I get to initiate new ideas and be creative! 

The environment is fast-paced and management surely rewards you for your efforts.
 
We are also hybrid (management is flexible, and how often you go to the office is up to you) so I really love our monthly team events, since it's a chance to get together with the team and see everyone. 


The work atmosphere over at Martyn Bassett Associates is, to put it plainly, dreadful. Employees are constantly overworked because they're assigned unreasonable workloads by the management. Their unreasonable demands causes unnecessary amounts of stress, and quickly burns out employees. Management doesn't even provide any kind of support, making the already exhausting situation even more daunting. 

Company has a great work culture, management values you for your skills and abilities.  CEO is very supportive and open towards your career growth.  Top management supports and guides you wherever needed.  Smart and go getter team to learn and collaborate with.  

Unfortunately, since the leadership knows that the employees here are talented and bright, it does not hold back when it comes to giving us tasks. The management dumps a bunch of work on us, and most of them have very close deadlines. We are then forced to work for brutally long hours and even over time just to finish the exhaustng workloads.
