I found my experience with Major Players really refreshing as my previous interactions with employment agencies had been a bit hit-and-miss. Major Players are top professionals, great at what they're doing but they've not lost the human touch and are friendly and approachable. Extra kudos to Alex Phipps - it's a real pleasure working with him!

I had great communications with Alex at Major Players! He was very friendly and personable and took the time to understand what was important to me in a new role.

They told me they would call back and discuss further, but they never did for nearly 2 months. I called 3-4 times, and they kept telling me, "We are busy. We will call back in a couple of days". How they treated candidates were extremely irresponsible and hugely disappointing. I also felt they might be descriminating candidates somehow. As good reviews are all from certain group of people. And now over 4 months passed, no sign of engagement and they don't even respond to my message. It is very dissapointing. I have a impression that that they don't accept non-birth-natives or ethnic minority?

I just started a new job thanks to Major Players and I couldn't be happier. A massive thank you to Stephanie who was so kind and supportive throughout. She was quick to respond and always kept me in the loop. Thanks so much!

Back in 2018, I've been invited to meet one of their advisors. I got positive reviews about my portfolio. I've been encouraged to set up a limited company. And nothing afterwards. My mails got ignored. Maybe 2-3 mail exchanges in the past 3 years. Last week an Associate Talent Partner sent an email asking if I'm still freelancing and told me there is a 'booming' demand. He wanted catch up. I answered and told him I'd be happy to talk on the phone and what a surprise! I got ignored again.
