Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Value Cheyne Cole was very rude and insulting when she phoned me. I now believe the job I applied for to be fake and they do it to get your details so they can try sell you work placements. Potential clients and job seekers should stay well away from this company. They seem to be a scam.

Pathetic lot. 1- Always posting fake jobs 2- Inexperienced Recruiters 3- Poor insight about market 4- Kings of cold calling - Just to get your details

I had been approached with recruiters from GM and the experiences were never good. The latest one being that I was approached on LinkedIn - no response when I asked for job specs for further considerations. When I asked for confirmation that the recruiter did not share my details (given that I did not give consent), there was still no response. I ended up searching this agency's website for their GDPR contact and raised a data subject query for a confirmation that my details were not shared without consent. Funnily enough, later on the recruiter who approached me blocked me on LinkedIn, yet still didn't provide any confirmation that my details weren't shared! Be warned about this agency.

Unprofessional and uncouth. Chris Jones, I'm sorry for bothering you, I know you guys hate doing some work. Here's a tip: Professional courtesy. Make it clear you're simply not interested, some manners will take you a long way.

Make up fake jobs and then approach you to get your latest C.V. Avoid them as will waste your time and there are much better honest agencies out there.

They didn't bother getting back to about a role I was put forward for, despite emailing 3 times. Not impressed with Goodman Masson, a little courtesy wouldn't go amiss but I guess courtesy doesn't earn them money.
