spoke with a woman who could barely speak English, Martina.... very rude. she didn't like when she was told she was un professional and had her boss harassing me with phone calls.... I ended up just ignoring their calls. ABSOLUTELY THE WORST AGENCY I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH. I even took time to write t...

After reading some of the reviews this is a place, that I won't be rushing to for work.

And l am correct on my first impression of the company, after the email I have got today 18 \12\2019 agencies like this one don't recognise the national living wage.
As they want to hide behind the minimum wa...

Kinda mixed feelings about this agency. They always pay on time and there's no sneaky business about that. But sometimes when they send you a text about some job opportunity, you'd call 'em 5 minutes later and they'd say "they don't know anything about that job

I received a phone call from a recruitment agent that was presumably representing career makers and I can honestly say I have never come across such poor professionalism in my life.

The guy on the phone started the conversation trying to get his words out over whatever food was rolling around in ...

I honestly do not recommend. Often, there were not a full payout and you had to solicit yours, and if you do not use their services for a week or two, if you do not remember, they will never contact you with any offer. Not a serious agency.

It's taken me over a month to recieve my pay because of their administration error and it's still not correct, I've been made to feel like it was my fault and the staff couldn't be less helpful. I wouldn't waste your time or energy on this micky mouse group of idiots.

Had good service in 2015. In 2016 on first day we needed staff and were promised an 8am start on a busy Monday, nobody turned up. Not acceptable. Next staff that they arranged, they failed to arrange her payments in time for her to be paid for the first week's work.

I have spoken to Laurie about helping my son get in to work. He has been on furlough for a while and she has kept him up to date with jobs available and informed him of how his furlough works. Lovely lady with a lovely manner. Definitely recommend her.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Why oh why did I bother going in to 'register' after having read the many negative reviews left by others? The place itself is a nightmare to get to (a very long walk from the centre of town) and the 'office' is more of a 'dungeon' at the bottom of a lot of stairs.

Terrible agency!
I had never been payed on time once out of 5 weeks, so I left. They would say to me we have sent but they havent as I had asked the bank! They could hardly speak English or even understand English. Highly, highly advise you stay away!

Absolute joke, my partner was offered a job with a start date for 1st July 2020 which he agreed to, but as the start date was nearing he couldn't get any information regarding the job or even get to speak to the adviser who was organising the job. Not very professional to keep someone hanging on esp...
