My job is a very sociable job, we are currently taking part in a marathon walk and we also do a lot of team days out.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Savills to a friend?
Yes
Why?
They seem to invest a lot in graduates and apprentices, they have been very welcoming to me and have my best interests at heart. They are constantly providing me with new opportunities to meet new people.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Savills?
From my experience Savills doesn't seem to just hire the best academically. They seem to go for the best fit in their company. They want to hire people with personality as well as being somewhat decent academically, but if it makes sense for them they will take you on.
