Nick and the team, always a credit to themselves and the people they employ. A pleasure to work for, By far the best Recruitment Consultants around, always providing quality employment with quality employers. Highly recommended. Make the right choice and make them your first port of call when looking for all kinds of employment.

Report
As an agency, they should thank their employees first, not just accept and be content with compliments. Because people like me write negative reviews for a reason. You sound very polite, so it is sad to read your returns to reviews of workers who had bad experiences with you. Don't forget that you learn from mistakes, sir

In reply to the reviews below, we are unable to provide transport to work for anybody and it would be impossible to pay all our temps an advance on their wages before they had even worked for us. My whole team are respectful to all the people that walk through our door and try their best to help everybody, it would make no sense not to. I am very proud of all my team past and present. As for the review by Frank, if you would like to pop into our office and ask for me I will make you a cup of tea(we have 5 different blends available) and we can have a nice chat about how we get our new clients on, the history of how we set up Grafters and anything else you feel aggrieved about.
I feel very very strongly when anybody disrespects my team and like all the agencies in Eastbourne we do are upmost best to help people find suitable positions. Nick Graff, Managing Director, Grafters Recruitment
