We exist to help build better lives for all, helping our people be fulfilled

Stuart’s story
We’ll let our people speak for us

Joining as a Manager of a new brand in 2021 I have been able to successfully grow my team from just four people to nine, proudly introducing Merrifield Consultants to candidates and clients. From the moment I joined, I benefited from the training and support provided but also appreciated being trusted to know what my best method of working is. There is no one size fits all mentality, and this has always helped me and my team. I’ve experienced both a very intensive hands-on agency, as well as a hands-off (get on with it) approach, giving me the best of both worlds.

We have a fantastic culture which is highlighted by the way all the teams work together and get along. We celebrate our successes together and this is why I’ve always enjoyed the flexibility of being able to choose how many days I work in the office. 

Personally, I do four days in the office as I like working in the same environment as my team, but I also do enjoy having one day from home to get on with it. The company really cares about everyone’s wellbeing. It’s not an industry where you can immediately secure the right balance between work and home life. But there are always people and places who are there to support you.

I have always felt supported when I needed to hire into my team.  This has helped to lessen the responsibility on my shoulders, and I’ve always been backed by the company which I’m grateful for.

Lisa’s story
We’ll let our people speak for us

I joined the business in March 2006 as a Consultant. Having developed a high-performing desk over 11 years, I relocated and was given the opportunity to set up a branch from scratch. This involved recruiting a team and growing new business. 

Sales positions can naturally be demanding and often high pressure. Huntress has never made me feel like I needed to do more than I currently do. You are not forced to work late, and there is a big emphasis on a work life balance. I am fully remote which was a huge change from being office based. This has had such an impact on my family life. 

I am now able to walk my little one to school, which I have never done previously. My kids no longer need to attend breakfast and afterschool club, which not only has a financial impact, but also gives my children a better quality of life. Huntress continues to give me the freedom to adapt alongside my personal life.

Lauren's story
We’ll let our people speak for us

I joined Huntress Group and founded Birchrose Associates in September 2019.

I launched the brand, and in the early months my role was very focused on the brand development, marketing strategy and the recruitment of my team. I have an open dialogue with my CEO and our HR Director; I feel my goals are listened to, considered and supported. When launching Birchrose, my ambitions were incredibly supported from my first pitch. It was a challenging first 12 months when the pandemic hit, but myself and the CEO were aligned on the long-term strategy from day one.

A huge appeal of joining Huntress to launch a new brand, is the way in which managers are financially rewarded. In my previous role, management bonuses were based on team growth YoY, but not profitability. At Huntress, Managers have two opportunities to achieve a bonus: achieving quarterly GP targets (collaboratively discussed and agreed in Q4 of the previous year), and annually in line with the profitability of your team.

This is hugely motivating, as quite simply, the more successful your team is the higher the bonus! Managers may sacrifice their own personal billings at times to focus on the development of their staff, but when the team collectively performs well, this is financially recognised in the form of annual management bonuses. It not only adds to the drive and motivation, but it also promotes commercial thinking, and has certainly improved my business acumen and general decision making with regards to hiring strategy, marketing spend.

The best bit about working for Huntress and Birchrose Associates are the people! We have a team of hugely passionate people who work hard and support each other along the way. Everyone is down to earth and approachable, which makes the tough days bearable and the good days incredible. I really value the support from my CEO. I always have it when I need it, along with the freedom (and trust) to make decisions and run with them.

Natasha’s story
We’ll let our people speak for us

I joined Huntress in July 2012 as a branch administrator. I was burnt out from a sales career within hospitality, where I was travelling too much. I had brought my first property with my now husband and I wanted to be more local.  A better work/life balance was key, yet I still wanted the buzz of a sales environment. Through my Huntress career, I have progressed from Administrator, Temps Resourcer to Account Manager and now Manager of the high-performing Bracknell team.  

I love having the autonomy to try new ideas, and I am so grateful for the trust that the leadership team have in me. I have been able to grow the Bracknell team, implement a new structure and create a happy working environment.
