Charles Sindrey: How to Build a Successful Long-Term Career

Charles Sindrey is a great example of what long-term growth looks like at Client Server. Nearly 14 years ago, Charles joined through one of the very first graduate schemes, starting as a Trainee Consultant. Since then, he’s steadily worked his way up to Managing Consultant, proving that with hard work and the right support, there’s real career longevity here.

"I started out as a trainee and just kept progressing step by step. Client Server has been a big part of that journey."

 

Supported Growth

One of the key factors in Charles’ development has been the flexibility and support Client Server offers.

"They’ve always given me the freedom to shape my career in the direction that suits me best. There’s been a mix of external training and internal mentorship along the way too, which has really helped."

Whether it’s through structured learning or day-to-day guidance, Charles has felt consistently backed throughout his career.

 

The Rewarding Bits

For Charles, personal growth has been the standout reward of his time at Client Server.

"Having a high degree of autonomy has been huge. It allows you to take ownership of your work and really develop your own style."

That freedom has helped him evolve not just as a recruiter but as a leader within the business.

 

Why Client Server?

What keeps Charles motivated after all these years? It’s the culture.

"What I love most is the flexibility and autonomy that comes with success here. You’re trusted to get things done your way, and that creates a great balance of working hard while still enjoying life outside of work."

Client Server’s culture supports a "work hard, play hard" mentality, giving people the space to excel professionally without compromising on personal time.

 

Advice for Future Recruiters

When asked what advice he’d give to someone starting out, Charles keeps it simple and smart:

• Stay curious. "Be inquisitive and ask questions. Everyone has something to teach you, from candidates and clients to your teammates and leadership."
• Find your style. "Be yourself and learn your own way of working. There’s no one-size-fits-all in recruitment."
