What our people think 8
Welcome to the World of Darwin We want people to stay in our business, learn, grow and develop. We want them to deliver value to our organisation, clients and candidates and be proud of doing so. We believe in incentivising and rewarding all of our staff, over and above our market leading commission structures and benefits packages. Every year, we hold an annual awards ceremony, during which, high achievers and long serving members of staff are recognised and rewarded. At this ceremony the highest achieving recruitment consultant will win a trip to Miami. Earlier this year, following a company-wide vote, the highest achieving member of support services won a trip for two to Champneys. Each month, the high achievers are given the afternoon off and are taken to one of the top restaurants in London/Munich/Amsterdam. Every year, the 20 highest achieving people in the company are taken on an all-expenses paid trip to a 5 star destination. In 2014 the high achievers went to Marbella, in 2013 they visited Barcelona and in 2012; Las Vegas.

We believe in providing the best working environment for our staff. In Amsterdam we occupy an office on the 15th floor of the World Trade Centre, and in Munich our offices are based in the city centre close to the shops, hotels and restaurants. In the UK our spacious offices include a huge break-out area that has been furnished for maximum comfort complete with games console systems, tiered seating, diner style booths and an Astroturf area with Fußball/pool table/air-hockey and table tennis to allow team members to rest and relax during their breaks. We are thrilled to announce that we have been awarded a Best Companies 2 Star accreditation. The Best Companies Accreditation Standard follows the elite Michelin style star rating system for organisations that demonstrate high levels of employee engagement; no stars but a ‘one to watch’ rating is ‘Good’, one star is very good, two stars are outstanding and three stars are extraordinary.

What Our People Think... I have been in recruitment for a number of years now and since joining Darwin I haven’t looked back. In my first 3 months I won a ‘51 inch’ Samsung smart TV across a 2 month incentive, was given the whole day off to attend a ‘GoApe’ team building event and won a spot on an exclusive wine tasting trip in Chelsea. I have attended several 25K club events for over achieving and even got the chance to see Jordan Belfort at the excel centre with a select few. I am part of a close knit team that offer me 1 on 1 support whenever I need it. Darwin truly is a fantastic company to work for and certainly a place I see me myself staying for the foreseeable future.
Working at Darwin is like a breath of fresh air with its uncompromising work ethic combined with a fair and transparent interaction with staff from top to bottom. Darwin is not just a recruitment company, but a culture, a way of being. Our retention is high purely based on how we treat our staff
I enjoy coming to work every day, and how many people can really say that? My job is challenging and rewarding and every day is different. The management team have trust in me, my capabilites and my knowledge and that is what makes the difference!
Darwin ensures that everyone in the business is given the best facilities, training and support possible. This, accompanied by a strong winning mentality, ensure that outstanding results are inevitable.
