Careers at Carrot

At Carrot we work in a friendly, fun and supportive environment. We appreciate the conscientious efforts of our teams and we reward them well for their hard work and success. We focus on quality and effectiveness over volume driven KPI's and our development programme is designed to help our individuals and teams become highly competent recruitment professionals, through the accumulation of excellent sector knowledge, a very strong customer service ethos and robust commercial acumen.

Great Culture

We are a fun bunch who believe in a healthy work-life balance; we work efficiently and effectively, with no long hours!

No KPIs

We value quality over quantity; that's why we're voted "world-class" in customer service. We hire self-motivated people who can work with autonomy, so no micro-management.

Care and Reward

Your hard work will not go unnoticed here. We regularly offer perks and rewards - for target achievers and company-wide successes.

Team Spirit

We regularly organise team-building events and gatherings that help our people form a strong connection through fun!

Generous Holiday Allowance

25 days (rising up to 30) + bank holidays, 2 duvet days every year with the option to buy/sell 3 holiday days.

Supportive Environment

We offer fantastic training and development opportunities to our employees. You'll have access to the resources required to develop your career.

This is a friendly and supportive environment. There’s always a buzz in the office. Life at Carrot is not KPI-driven, we have lots of flexibility and autonomy to manage our own desk.
