Careers with IIR
You are looking for a job. You want to ensure that you receive the best training from the very best people. There are so many companies promising the world – why should you choose IIR?
Because we really do deliver. Just look at what our current employees have to say about working here:
"I joined IIR because they are not only market leaders in conferences, but in direct marketing too. It is a young, dynamic company that is not prepared to settle for second best. At IIR you can enjoy the benefits of working for a large organisation while at the same time being part of small, close-knit team."
Alex Moilliet, Regional Marketing Manager
"I started at IIR just over 9 years ago. I had many job offers at the time but joined IIR because it seemed a really lively and buzzy place to work and the idea of selling conferences was, and still is, something different. I was promoted after 2 years to Team Leader then to manager of the department after 4 years. I have recently taken over our customer services department and have a team of 24 Account Executives and 6 Customer Service Executives so the promotion prospects are there to see. Not only is IIR an enjoyable and happy place to work, it has some fantastic social events. It is certainly easier to get up in the morning when you enjoy your job!"
Anthony Bennett, Team Manager, Telesales
Our policy is to be upfront about the challenges new recruits will face and the demands of each job. We are looking for people who are self-starters with a "can do" attitude. The type of people who succeed at IIR never present a problem to their manager without having thought of a potential solution.
The interview process is tough, but it benefits both the candidates and the company. We ensure we have the right people with the right skills and you enter a challenging, rewarding and dynamic world.
The working environment is made up of people from all backgrounds with one thing in common – the desire to succeed. Everyone contributes to our success and enters an office full of motivated people. We can and do promise to enhance each employee's skill base through in-depth job specific training and generic skills training.
If you have what it takes, why not apply? If you are not right for us, or you don't like what we say, you can withdraw from the process but if you don't apply, just think of the opportunity you may be missing!
Career Development & Reward
IIR is not built on hierarchies - much of our emphasis is on individual learning and goals. When you join us you will start by having a one day induction so that you gain an understanding of what the people you work closest with in the company do and how you will fit in. Your on-the-job learning starts here. We already offer some unique on-line courses for producers and marketers to follow. All our employees benefit from in-house and external training and get a chance to work towards goals identified through six monthly appraisals.
Your career route is unique to you. Some people further their career at one of our overseas offices (after 2 years of service) recent opportunities have been found in Australia, New York and San Francisco. Internal transfers have seen employees move between departments, switch job roles or work in one of our many subsidiaries. The key to IIR’s success is the contribution of its people who are rewarded with a competitive salary and benefits package, holidays which increase with service and a friendly working environment.
