I applied for a position through this employment agency. I can't say that my experience with this agency has been a positive one. When I arrived for my appointment with Lucas I was then kept waiting for 10 minutes in a glass cubicle, and then the consultant went through my CV in great detail with a fine tooth comb. I was then informed that their client already had their quota of candidates for the position and were no longer interviewing. Why one wonders was the position still open? First impressions normally count and having dealt with this agency I would not recommend them. I would not waste my time again.
If a candidate makes the effort to arrive for an appointment on time, having traveled some distance, then the consultant should ensure that they do not keep the candidate waiting as it doesn't look very professional. Having lived in both the United States and Spain and had very positive experiences with employment agencies who really make the effort to help candidates secure employment, it does not really give me much of a positive experience with employment agencies in the UK particularly in London.
