We regularly collaborates through twice weekly meetings as a whole team, discussing current projects, projections and ideas. We have weekly team wrap up meetings at the end of a week to discuss the positives of our week and share advice, it’s great to get some support from your colleagues and also celebrate their successes as well as your own. We have a fully open-door policy, the whole team sits together across two banks of desks and is a mix of directors, managers, resourcers and back office staff. It’s great for collaboration and camaraderie, there are no separate offices, we all sit together as a team.
We invest in an environment that nurtures talent. Every member of staff is given the opportunity to train and develop their skills through a mixture of classroom training, desk coaching and strategy sessions with a bespoke training programme. Each consultant at V7 is given a tailored and transparent career plan, which enables them to progress to Divisional Director level within just 7 promotions. There is always room for improvement and growth, giving our team the room they need to be ambitious. 3 of our employees also have shares within the company and are heavily invested in the future for V7.
We value and respect all members of the team, regardless of level. Whether you’re a director or a resourcer you receive the same level of support and encouragement. We try and keep transparent with goals and targets, we have regular ‘board meetings’ to discuss progress, set targets and discuss how they can be met. All incentives and opportunities for excellent work are available to the whole team, not just recruiters, ensuring the back office and support staff receive the same treatment and chances as the rest of the team.
Offering bespoke training opportunities. We have an in-house recruitment trainer on hand to work with all our employees and plan a bespoke package tailored to suit their needs and the stage of their career. Non-recruitment employees have regular progress reviews to discuss their needs and happiness in their roles, and ensure any opportunities they wish to pursue are discussed and a plan is put into place to achieve their goals.
We are committed, high achievers, genuine, passionate, we have integrity, we are ambitious and we have fun. These values are aligned with our employees because every person we hire has these values instilled in them already. We look for people who are going to work hard on their V7 career journey and strive for that next step, but also have a great sense of humour and have fun on our regular team trips!
Every year the team are encouraged to write their own annual forecasts, providing them control and autonomy to encourage maximum benefit for their desks. We have monthly and quarterly incentive programs to motivate the team, which offer them the chance to win fantastic prizes including trips abroad. Quarterly anonymous surveys are sent out using our online HR tool to track employment happiness and take on suggestions on how we can improve. Throughout the year we host monthly social events along with weekly positivity wrap up to discuss the best parts of their week. We promote the teams’ achievements with shout outs, celebrations on the office TV’s and the employee of the month program.
