Unfortunate they don't return phone calls after several attempts and assured they would pass on message

Have to agree with Matthew Brown. I was more than qualified and did not hear from anyone. Always given false promises of calling back which never happens. An agency to avoid when serious about looking for a job.

Report
I have found Millbank to be the most effective and efficient technical recruitment agency that I have come across in my two years in the nuclear industry. They take the time to understand my Company and the roles we have vacancies for and match good candidates to them. I never feel like we are just receiving CV's by way of a data dump and am never flooded by calls and emails from him either. Millbank has also taken time to help discuss GDPR requirements with us and are currently helping us understand IR35 and its implications. All in all I believe that the relationship we have with Millbank and in particular Sean Boswell is a joint one with us both working towards the same goals.

Report
Enquired about vacancies and was told I was ideal for a position and my details were put forward. The recruiter then spent 3 weeks ignoring my calls and emails. I then contacted the company directly who advised the position had been filled and my details were only passed over in an "unsure if they are right for any position" capacity. Avoid.
