Critical: Professionalism Not professional. Not a serious outfit. Parasitic. Dealing with Abbey B she doesn't understand basic information about the jobs she's trying to fill.

I recently was placed in a job by Cecile, in the Manchester office. My experience couldn't have been better, Cecile was a joy to work with: very supportive with plenty of constructive advice, but ultimately it was clear that she genuinely cared about placing me in the right job. Thanks Cecile :

Very unprofessional agency. Telephone manner was poor every time. I contacted an agent who was the lead for a role I was interested in. She never returned any of my calls or emails. Did not acknowledge me at all.

They are absolute cowboys! They were going to withhold three days pay from me. I ended up having to go to an employment tribunal to get the money I was owed! This was back in 2006, however, having read the reviews I can see that their professionalism still leaves a lot to be desired!

Shocking experience. I booked half of a day off to attend an interview and I was coming from Wimbledon where my worked was based. The agents were aware of this as I repeated them several times because I wanted to make sure they wouldn't waste my time as often recruiters do. I prepared myself for the interview for a few days, I got an Uber, paid 25 in order to be at the interview on time. The CEO who was supposed to interview me showed up 1 hour later because the recruiter (Toby) forgot to update him and tell him that I confirmed that I was attending interview.
This CEO didn't even know who I was, why I was there nor what I was doing there. He then interviewed me but at that point I was so upset that I just couldn't focus anymore. I was overly annoyed and after an exchange of email the recruiter accepted to refund me 25 for the Uber. The refund actually arrived on my bank account 1 month and half later because the "forgot" to approve it when the fact happened. I'm still very annoyed for wasting half day of my holiday for this. Super unprofessional. Don't use them.
