Inspired22  Reviews

Inspired22 has a very misleading way to get people to apply, I had a position at inspired22 during 2022 and I was told during my interview that it was an office based job in the city with set working hours and a good salary, all of this was incorrect, there was a mention about the need to travel for work sometimes but it was passing, however, my first (and only) day there I arrived at the office and was greeted in the reception area and taken upstairs, had a small group meeting with paper work with other new starters then there was a bigger group meeting about the days schedule, they then started talking in more detail about the actual work and this is when it dawned that this was just a company that hires out an office space as a meeting point to send people out cold calling, but on the off chance that I was wrong I continued with the day.
I became certain I was right when the director handed everyone their routes to do their rounds in an area that is more than an hour outside of where they said I'd be working, knocking on doors attempting to sell fibre broadband to people under the guise that they're doing checks to see if people are getting the correct speeds, one member of the team made a habit of demanding to speak to a homeowner when the homeowner was physically unable to come to the door and also had been told that they were not interested, what was worse is that the area had a lot of elderly people who didn't have internet or were not aware of what the people knocking in doors were talking about and were very confused, I quickly became disenfranchised with the situation and zoned out untill I could get back into Manchester, I didn't get back home untill midnight after I was told it would be an 11-7pm working day.
I made it clear the next day that this role would not be for me and that I won't be returning, I received a message saying that the late finish is not normal practice and that I'd settle in and that they thought id do really well at the job, but after seeing what they do at people's doors and the disregard they have towards people i did not reply to the message on moral grounds and i never heard from them again.

I am in no way stating that this is their customer facing business practice overall , it could have been the case that one or two members were just overzealous at selling and making money, but the experience left a very sour taste .

In summary:
It was a 100% commission based role cold calling in the middle of nowhere after being advertised as an office based job with set working times and a salary.

Pressure selling broadband to people even when it's been stated that they are either not interested or unable to make the decision under the guise that te
Hey e been sent out to make sure that everyone is getting the correct speeds.

Interview process was swift but also misleading for the stated reasons, banking on the high turnover of applicants to see who sticks around.
