What It's Like To Work At VHR

VHRs head office is situated in Central London, on the River Thames. London being the smallest city in England, it is home to over 8 million people from around the globe. VHR much like London, has a diverse and interesting team working in the centre of an energetic and thriving city.

As a global technical recruitment company, we work with engineers from over 52 countries across the world. This allows some of our team members to regularly fly out to greet clients to help support on-going projects. These visits can see our employees stop by harbours in Spain, airports in Abu Dhabi, or racetracks in Italy. In addition, our team also frequently attend international trade shows for our industries, helping us to stay up to date with everything our sectors have to offer. 

At VHR we reward our top performers who meet their yearly targets with a holiday. In September 2022 the high performers trip was to Faro, Portugal, and allowed individuals to fly out and enjoy some well-deserved time off.  Whats more, everybody who wins an award or is a top performer from each month is invited to attend a luxury meal.

On top of this, if all targets are met, every summer VHR fly out for a full company holiday. This is a great way of rewarding all staff for their continuous hard work, as well as giving people from different departments and offices the chance to build relationships and relax. This helps to build more, ignite friendships and is repeatedly one of the highlights in the VHR calendar.

Whilst most companies hold a Christmas Party, VHR also hosts a party in the summer. Letting the team thoroughly enjoy themselves in the summer sun. Commonly supplied with drinks and dinner, this party is for the whole team who work hard all year long.

Each month VHR hosts a social event for the team. These are different every month, previously they have been dinners, go-karting, ping-pong, bowling, airsoft, barbecues, paintballing and many other fun activities. These are a great way to boost team spirit, these events are always fun and something for all of us to look forward to.

A few years ago, VHR introduced the flexi-time initiative which includes hybrid working. This permits employees to take more control over their time. Now able to start at any time between half seven and nine in the morning, the scheme helps our employees who have children, or have to commute in. It also gives the team more freedom to attend additional activities at a time that’s better suited for them.
