I regretfully accepted a job offer from Outsource UK three months ago, only to be made redundant out of the blue. It has become painfully evident that accepting employment with this company was a grave mistake. From the moment I joined, I really enjoyed working for the business and held a strong pipeline of potential business in a short space of time not knowing there were signs of trouble. Shortly after my arrival, Outsource UK claimed financial losses and announced the closure of the Birmingham office. This news came as a shock, especially considering the company had reported a substantial profit of £800k only a year ago. It became clear that they had intentionally withheld this information during the hiring process, leaving me feeling deceived and manipulated. But the issues did not end there. Outsource UK's decision to close the Birmingham office resulted in the dismissal of numerous talented professionals, including myself. This callous approach to layoffs demonstrates the company's complete disregard for its employees' well-being and undermines any trust that may have been established. Moreover, the so-called leadership at Outsource UK failed to provide any meaningful explanation during this difficult time. The lack of communication, empathy, and accountability showcased by Nick - CEO, Martin - MD, and the management team was truly disheartening and unprofessional. It is clear that they prioritise profit and personal agendas over the well-being and livelihoods of their employees. I cannot stress enough how important it is for job seekers to exercise caution when considering a position with Outsource UK. The company has shown a complete disregard for honesty, integrity, and the welfare of its employees. The decision to join this organisation was a mistake I deeply regret, and I sincerely hope that others can learn from my experience. If you value honesty, transparency, and a company that genuinely cares about its employees, I strongly advise you to steer clear of Outsource UK. Trustworthy and ethical employers are out there, but unfortunately, Outsource UK is not one of them.

Pluspunten

I had a great experience working at Outsource UK, surrounded by genuine and supportive people. While the situation that led to me leaving wasn’t ideal, it ultimately led to a positive career change.

Minpunten

I initially inherited an underperforming and inexperienced team, but after bringing in my own hires, performance improved significantly, and two of those team members are still with the business today. However, over time, my entire team was gradually removed, but based on conversations with management I was going to be given an account of my own to develop. This didn’t happen and transparency is an area where they could improve. Within a few weeks this account was given to someone new without any discussion. After this I found it challenging to work in an environment where commitments were not always followed through. I was excited about the opportunity and the growth it would bring. However, I was left feeling overlooked and undervalued. This lack of transparency made it difficult to stay engaged, as it became clear that key decisions were being made without proper communication. It was frustrating to invest time and effort into a company that didn’t fully recognise or follow through its commitments. Despite raising this issue with management the decision was made to stick with giving the new hire the account. Ultimately, this experience pushed me to reconsider my career path, and while it was disappointing at the time, it led me to pursue a new direction that I am now grateful for.

No pros about working here

Minpunten

Toxic environment, very cliquey, dread coming to work. A lot of talking behind peoples back. Not flexible working (although states it is) Set days in the office and you must do at least 3 days per week, no flexi working times - long hours, 8:30-5:30 Openly talks about no career progression due to being a "small company" No bonus or staff incentives.
