Report
Unitemps has many offices all managed at branch level independently and linked to a University in the area. I have done many jobs with them and it has been great, they focus on student employability. Great experience with them. If you have a difficult experience with one branch doesn't mean the whole company is no good. I have worked with 3 different branches and the teams were very supportive.

I can't say that I would recommend unitemps services as I've had nothing but bad experiences from them, specifically someone under the name of shaf, who thinks it's ok to waste the time of students, to lie about job opertunities and being completely unsympathetic when cancelling the job interview at such late notice. I highly recommend they improve their services if they plan to succeed in the future and prevent getting bad feedback.

I was so excited to meet Louise Kelly but after she got my business, she really did not care anymore. Unhelpful, dismissive and totally distant. Not sure if this is Unitemps or the Guildford team. Was disappointed with the lack of follow up and empathy. Not very suppportive and I think young people looking for job need more mentoring and guidance even if the job is temporary. Will not recommend.

I love working through Unitemps. The staff are really friendly and helpful. The website is intuitive, and easy to use. The staff are always helpful too. There are so many new opportunities posted on the website every day, and there are roles to suit lots of skill sets!
