What our employees say
Each employee plays a vital role at First Point Group. We ensure everyone is valued and given the opportunities to fulfil their potential in their chosen discipline, whether it's recruitment, finance or marketing. Here's what our people say about us.
I joined as an Account Executive in 2021 with no recruitment experience. Through hard work, determination and help from my colleagues, I am delighted to have progressed into an Account Manager and a successful biller. My time at First Point Group has been very productive and I am keen to continue my growth and utilise the support offered to me in the workplace.
I have been at FPG for over a decade years and during this journey, I have worked in many roles. I started as an Account Executive and am now a Senior Account Director. My exposure to multiple roles within First Point Group, has given me a detailed understanding of the business and its needs. I work in both Contract and Permanent roles. I love my job because of the people I work with around the world and for being a part of someone's new career journey.
Since I started in February 2022, it really has been a whirlwind of learning and developing into a successful 360 recruiter! The tools provided ensures that I have all of my armour available to approach clients and candidates in the most productive way. Having clearly defined processes to stick too has built my confidence helped me to achieve my goals! The team of professionals that surround me on a daily basis have made it possible for me to become the recruiter I am today.
When I joined in 2021, David and Alistair provided me with the resources, platform and responsibility to make impactful changes to the marketing function - which has been very rewarding. David and Alistair, have given me insights and mentoring on the commercial aspects of the business allowing me to formulate strategic marketing campaigns that impact the bottom line. Work aside, I enjoy being part of a global team where everyone is genuinely helpful and wants to succeed.
Our People, Our Culture

We place great importance on treating our people with respect, ensuring that our culture and working environment encourages personal and professional support. Your individuality is welcomed, collectively it's what makes us as a business unique. Our clients and candidates love that they liaise with real people, not 'CV / Resume pushers'. Whether you’re starting out on your career journey or already a seasoned professional we will support you with:
Your Mental Health & Well-being
We understand life has its up’s and down’s, recent times has certainly taught us that. Your health and well-being really is important to us and a big part of your career journey at First Point Group.

Your Learning & Development
Personal development and ensuring employees have the support and tools to do the job to the best of their ability is critical. We want to empower you from day one.
Our hybrid approach incorporates both internal & external training with subject matter experts, and continual learning to ensure your skills are kept relevant and up-to-date. Employees across the globe also have access to a series of comprehensive training programs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!
Training and Coaching
“Practice makes perfect”
Our training philosophy centers around three simple words “why, try, revise”. This process and approach is a mixture of classroom and at-the-desk training ensuring content stays fresh in the learner's mindset and avoids content landing on the “learning scrap heap”. It enables you to grow in confidence by putting into practice the key skills of the role, all carried out under the guidance and support of your designated work buddy or Manager. Our training is a constant narrative that reflects how quickly the recruitment industry operates, this also plays well for the one-to-one coaching which covers a multitude of areas focussed around individuals' desire to improve their “soft skills” should they wish.
We like to think we are real, no one is ever the finished article and our belief is enhancing your skillset with skills you can use throughout your career.
Employee Benefits
Our EVP is important to us in ensuring that every employee reaps their benefits and feels valued. We offer a generous compensation package. Excellent commission, competitive salaries in all locations, salary and job title progression, and no threshold to start earning a commission. Amongst this we also offer flexible working to all employees, yearly incentive trips a month paid sabbatical every three years and location dependent benefits. Each regional office has their own local benefits. For example, the London office offers complimentary breakfast and healthy snacks throughout the day (and sugary treats too for when you need that afternoon sugar hit).
Our Culture
Our culture is visible the moment you walk through the doors and meet our people. We don’t feel the need for (nor do we like) big ego’s. We love confident employees but not egotistical ones. Respect is our biggest value which sits at the core of business, it drives every action we make and is demonstrated across our relationships with our clients, candidate and colleagues. We actively encourage organic growth and promotions across our offices. This is reflected by our 4.3 years average tenure and employees who relocate to other global offices achieving great success.
