Report
I've had calls from 4 different members of CBS staff. Mostly from the Redhill branch. Total approx 7 - 8 calls to date over the last few months. They seem to forget they called me 2 weeks ago ref the same job. Do they not talk to one-another. In the end I was getting 1 - 2 calls per week ref the same position. In the end I had to block all e-mails and calls from CBS. I also looked up the employee reviews on the company they kept trying to push me towards. And the former emloyee's did'nt have a good word to say ref working there.

Had to withdraw the entire process for a position. The recruiter Jennifer didn't even let me explain myself and rudely put the phone down on me. Unprofessional at its best! Sales attitude with clearly lack of knowledge on the positions they offer.

Very unprofessional, and think that might even have they're own agenda with which persons should take jobs. I have been involved in a couple of recruitment processes and it looks like they are asking people to register just to show some employers that they have a big data base. I worked as a biomedical engineer, for 6 years now and they had some good jobs in the industry. After discussions with them an interview appointments they just haven't response any of they're phones or emails, just to get few months later an email that the position was filled.

Dealt with CBS Butler over the last few weeks and overall it has been a pretty disappointing experience. At the start, admittedly, i was hard to get hold of due to being on holiday, which lead to a telephone interview being rescheduled on a few occassions. Since then I have tried to organize said interview to no avail. I emailed the consultant dealing with me to ask for a job spec prior to the interview and wasn't even graced with a reply. To add insult to injury, I then emailed to say the company had missed the slot for the interview and was once again ignored? Unacceptable.

To sum CBSbutler up with one word would be OPPORTUNITY. I've worked for CBSbutler most of my adult life. They make significant investments in staff development with internal and external training programmes and career promotion of existing staff. Starting as an assistant and now managing my department I have experienced first-hand promotions and college based learning courses. I have been offered many rewards and awards for my hard work and taken advantage of the on-site gym facility and regular social events such as meals, 'race days', boat trips and November firework displays! I feel I am a valued and an important member of the CBSbutler team.
