I was very lucky to have come across this agency as I was struggling to find a job relating to my field. I couldn't praise them enough especially Taj Nijjar. I had no issues so I'm very surprised to see all the reviews below. My emails were handled promptly, the staff were always pleasant and professional when I called and my entire holiday pay has been received. Because of them and the experience they offered me in Leeds/Bradford's, I have been able to land a job in London which has always been my goal.

Thank you for all your help and support in the previous months, it was a pleasure working with you. : And it most definitely isn't a scam as I worked in a hospital through them from Aug2021-Feb2022 and it was very real.

They try to steal your holiday pay; only find work for those who don't know their rights so they can be abused. Avoid this agency. Not good enough!
