Report
I went out of my way to personally contact this company regarding a job they "allegedly " had available. I matched the criteria and Kate assured me she would respond to me email. Unfortunately, another charlatan recruitment company who are unresponsive and unprofessional! In my opinion there should be an ombudsman for Employment Agencies whereby they scan be penalised especially considering they have access to peoples personal information. I doubt the job existed and maybe "Kate " doesn't either l!

I spoke to a very helpful lady called Claire. She's explained that their wasn't any work at the moment but I'd be more than happy to work for Tulip. She has a sense of Humour and made me laugh and not a lot of people can do that. So if you're looking for work I suggest you speak to Claire she doesn't sound like the type to mess you around

Looked at various roles on job sites and applied for one posted by Tulip. They contacted me about a role not too long after, had me interviewed 6 days later and employed on the same day. The service was smooth, quick and professional. A big thanks to Clare and the team for the work they do.
