I'm a freelance producer and photographer and sometimes work is not always available within my field. I joined Syft nearly 6months ago and I love Syft! Work is always available for you if you want. The hourly rates are really good and you get your money the following week. If you are responsible, pu...

A lot of mixed reviews and opinions. Personal first impressions are that they are a professional and efficiently run agency. The induction was run swiftly. However I ve witnessed issues with people getting paid and syft taking little to no responsibility in getting these issues resolved.

NEVER WORK FOR SYFT.

NEVER WORK FOR SYFT.

This may be the worst support team I've ever seen.

I put in a simple request for a P45 and it has been 3 months I have still received nothing. Every time I follow this request up all I am told is 'this is been past on to the relevant team and you should receive it within 2...

Worst agency to work with.

Worst agency to work with.
Customer service (if I can call it a service) is more than terrible. No one at Syft cares about You. Strongly wouldn't recommend to work for it as there are many more better agencies. One star is way too much for them.

Not flexible. Advertises that you can pick and choose shifts that suits you. This is not the case. When trying to cancel a shift with more than 24hrs notice they come up with excuses as to why they cant. Wages are always incorrect thats if you get paid at all on time.

Im with part of 3 other mobile app staffing platforms and syft is by far the best. A lot of shifts are available, and during the on boarding session they really explain to you in detail what they are about. You can make your work fit around your schedule and work only as much as you want to, a lot m...

I do not recommend this place at all, there are many other agencies in London to choose this one. The treatment received by some worker for the 5 minutes I was there seemed more than enough to know that I do not have to go back there anymore.

Good for temporary work and last minute jobs. I m a student and I prefer to pick up work this way, it s easy and the rate to work is higher than most jobs. The app needs improving as it tends to crash a lot but other than that, I m happy to work with Syft.

One of the people in office answering their phones could be a little less matter-of-fact / borderline rude, but otherwise everyone has...

Its a good company to work for if you are looking for temporary or occasional work. Some clients will try and recruit you if they see you are a hard worker, so don't be scared to say 'no'. The pay is the national minimum 8.40 plus holiday pay (so youll see the total of 9.50 smth on your app). if yo...
