Next Ventures

I had the pleasure of working with Alexei in Next Ventures. He is very reliable and proactive. I remember, I faced a problem with my timesheets, and Alexei made sure it was resolved in time. He was quick to respond, took ownership of the issue, and guided me through the steps clearly. I really appreciate his support and reliability—he made the whole process smooth and stress-free.

Another typical example of a recruitment company that just doesn't get it. Sending out random job offers on LinkedIn with no match whatsoever. And when you respond to that with an explanation and a suggestion that might work for both, they don't even have the decency to reply

I would very much recommend Next Ventures. I'm a freelance contractor, they reached out to me to offer an extremely nice opportunity which I took, and I'm currently working in one of the best projects I have ever worked thanks to them. John Carpenter was in charge of reaching out, explaining what the position was about, doing the interviews and setting up the initial meetings with the client. All the process was super easy, and even in the moments were doubts can appear, we made it up so I had none. I felt very well accompanied and guided during the whole process. Then, once with the, the onboarding, the initial set up for the Timesheet system, the documents needed and all the first steps I was helped by Adriana Clavero, who made it extremely easy for me to know what I needed to send and get, a how. Also regarding the Timesheet Software she would help through all the steps. All regarding my experience until now has felt extremely comfortable, personalised and easy, thanks to both the correspondence via email but mainly the personalised costumer service. I have always been able to reach both of them directly without the usual wait. I'm glad I could have such aid from both. Thank you very much!

I had the pleasure of working with Kieran during my recent job search, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From our first conversation, Kieran took the time to understand my background, career goals, and what I was truly looking for in my next role. Thanks to Kieran’s professionalism, clear communication, and deep understanding of the market, I was able to find a position that perfectly fits my skills and aspirations. I highly recommend Next Ventures to anyone looking for a dedicated and results-driven recruiter.

I have never written a negative feedback in my entire life, but I am so disappointed with Next Ventures (NV) that I decided to write one now. After I signed a contract with NV, I stopped all ongoing interviews with other clients. On Contract Start Date, I had not yet received from NV the details of the project I should join. One of End Client's employees told me that he was not aware that I am joining a new project with End Client. I responded that something must have changed since I have a signed 4 months contract. I decided to check this with NV recruiter. His response was that he was not notified that Contract is modified/terminated and that he will look into this with End Client. It took him 2 weeks to resolve my status, although I was following up on a daily basis to have my status resolved. During those 2 weeks, he convinced me that I should not be worried since Contract was signed by all parties, that NV will protect me, Contract can not be terminated without notifying NV first and that there is Notice Period in case Contract will be terminated. I trusted him, however, all of those were lies. 2 weeks after Contract Start Date he notified me that Contract is terminated and that I will not be paid, even the Notice Period will not be paid. My response was that I do not accept it since I was ensured that there is nothing to worry about and said that I want a Notice Period to be paid. Since recruiter was refusing to do so, I said that I would like to make a complaint. I received an email address of Legal Team as a place where complaint should be sent. After sending a complaint, no one responded. They have simply ignored it. Over 1.5 months, I have sent 6 emails asking for the feedback, and only after fourth week I received a generic email saying that they are working on it, but they have done absolutely nothing. Then I decided to reach out to their superiors (NV management) to describe my situation and asked them to intervene, but they also ignored my emails. All I was asking is for a Notice Period to be paid. Nothing more. And they are refusing to do it. Notice Period is something completely normal in a case when Contract is terminated before End Date, but they are refusing to do so. Since all of this happened before Christmas holidays, I was without incomes for 2 months since I needed to start interviews with new companies only after holidays. But again, I only asked for a Notice Period to be paid, although damage for me is much higher. Additionally, the blame for this situation is completely on NV. I have worked with same End Client previously and received only compliments for my work. Also, during my first contract with NV, I was asked to join ASAP since project needed resources quickly, which I did - I have rearranged my holidays and joined when asked, but was not able to fully work since some additional set-up was required. Although I was available for the full time, I was only paid 50% of agreed rate. Because of all of this, I am deeply disappointed with NV. I can not believe that in 21st century a "professional recruitment company" is treating it's clients in this way - lying to them, giving false promises, ignoring emails, refusing to enforce Notice Period process, etc. especially because entire blame for this situation is entirely on NV. Luckily, I insisted on a correspondence over email, so I will be handing it to my lawyer to get a compensation in that way. --- If both NV and myself signed a Contract with Start Date of Dec 1st, and I received Termination Letter from NV's Legal Team on Dec 15th, how come the Contract did not start? Why is this being ignored? Does signed Contract by all parties not mean anything to NV? Why I was assured within those 2 weeks that there is nothing to worry about and that NV will protect me? I do not need your sympathy, but you to admit that you messed up and pay for those 2 weeks. For 6 months I was giving away part of my income to NV not sure for what exactly, but now when you need to resolve this situation which is entirely your fault, I get your sympathy.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Ben Weaver for the past few months in my search for a new role, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, he took the time to truly understand what I was looking for, asking thoughtful questions and ensuring clear communication throughout the process. Ben was incredibly supportive, proactive, and was always available to provide clarification whenever needed. His involvement at every step made the entire experience stress-free, and I always felt confident knowing he had my best interests in mind. I highly recommend Ben to anyone looking for a dedicated and transparent recruiter!

I've been contacted twice within a year about job opportunities that turned out to be misleading. It seemed more like an attempt to gather information about my previous employers and current job search rather than a genuine opportunity.

I have had the privilege of knowing and working with Chris (Mullen) for about a year and a half. He worked hard to place me in a role late 2023. When that role came to an end, he was gracious in seeking to stay in touch, helping me land other roles. Usually, when recruitment consultants mention this, you don't usually hear much from them. Not Chris, definitely not Chris. Chris is a first-class consultant, who keeps his word. In this industry, that is a supremely rare quality. I do not hesitate in recommending him to anyone who wishes to work with him, in the course of progressing his/her career. He is SUPERB!!!

I had a fantastic experience with Next Venture, and I want to extend my deepest appreciation to Amit Eliyahoo for making the recruitment process seamless and stress-free. Amit went above and beyond to ensure I was well-prepared, providing guidance and valuable insights that made a real difference. Her support throughout the process was exceptional, always ready to answer questions and offer encouragement. Amit’s professionalism, dedication, and personal approach helped me feel confident and fully prepared for every stage. I highly recommend Next Venture and Amit for anyone looking for a supportive and effective recruitment partner.

Serious company. Recommend Faye, she is the best recruitment consultant.
