I am a call centre professional with over 20 years of experience from large corporations to small outsource partners. In the past 10 years moved to a few different businesses so had plenty of applications sent to Cactus. Not a single screening call as they always answer of having others who better match the criteria of their clients. Thankfully there are so many agencies in the UK but Cactus is a joke.
Never even gained a shortlist from them. Seems although i "have great experience" i'm never 'quite' what the client is looking for. Personally don't think half their jobs actually exist> Rubbish.
The all experience has been fantastic!!!
I was contacted almost right away after posting my cv.
After giving me all the details of the position, we agreed to send it to the employer.
Everything was quick, smooth and professional.
After being made redundant twice this year, it was a relief to find a professional agency!!!!
Thank you very much!!!!!
I only have such a positive feedback for the Cactus agency, such a professional agency, They are always available and very flexible. I feel very taking care of. In particular Josh is amazing doing his job, he is always ready to help and sort out any type of issue. I cannot be happier with them.
Over this last challenging year I spoke to many at Cactus and from the start they were always professional, upbeat and did their absolute best to help progress things when applying for roles.
Jo Cook I can t recommend personally enough after helping me along with my search and am now sitting in my chosen career role with a major company. Thanks again!
really bad experience! they work with unprofessional companies and in terms of organisation, they are all over the place. Never again!
Matt at Cactus Search was brilliant. I had held a position with the same company for 19 years and although I had a position of authority I was really nervous and apprehensive about being interviewed and doing a presentation on Zoom. Matt kept in touch with me every day giving advise and tips along the way and made himself available to me 27/7. My process was a long one and Matt kept me informed at all times. I would highly recommend Cactus search and Matt in particular. He also arranged for his MD to contact me when he was on annual leave. Excellent service and I know that Matt and Cactus Search assisted with me securing a position I am really excited about.
There are many recruitment companies out there, but few can demonstrate the level of care and professionalism that Cactus Search do. Guy runs a great team and I have spoken to a number of them over the years, all of whom were responsive and treated me like an individual. My most regular dealings have been with Matt Affron who has always gone above and beyond for me, shown genuine care and interest, and offered great advice and support. I can t recommend Matt or Cactus too highly,
They really are amazing. Nice quality service. After I have applied they came back to with a quick telephone interview nicely introducing the client and from there everything went smooth. I love my my job and again the service has been excellent.
Cactus Search responded to my job application the very next day and after giving me a lot of information about the company they put forward my CV to the hiring manager for the company I now work for. The experience from start to finish was extremely professional and also enjoyable, there was no stress and they made me feel at ease and stayed in communication throughout the process. My consultant even contacted me a few days after I got the job to wish me well which was a nice touch. It was an excellent experience and I'd highly recommend them if you're looking for a new job.
Matt was very helpful and prompt at responding to queries. New position is thanks to Him. Keep up the good work. Thanks
Really great proactive service received. Communicated with more than one member of staff, and service was professionally-amazing.
I have known and worked with Cactus Search for over 10 years, both as a client and as a candidate so my experience covers both sides. The team at Cactus Search are the one of the best recruitment agencies I have interacted with. They are open, honest and operate differently to other recruitment agencies.
I must call out Jo who is fantastic at her job. She treats people like individuals and not as their CVs or as a commission. Thank you for your support.
I would and will use Cactus Search again for my recruitment needs.
Very impressed and happy how I got treated during the Application process and even now. I highly recommend the Agents as well.
Guy Master has been absolutely amazing throughout the whole recruitment process. I have gained very valuable information and such a positive experience working with Guy. I could not recommend Cactus Search more highly.
Really fortunate to have been connected with Cactus Search. The recruitment manager were so profesional, helpful and supported throughout. Very thoughtful and excellent profesionalism displayed. Deifnitely will support and recommend Cactus Search to everyone looking to be successful for any roles that you aspire!
I ve recently been placed into a new job through Cactus. Throughout the process I was impressed with the level of responsiveness and openness from Cactus, who kept me informed, updated and engaged.
Cactus have a great wealth of experience and knowledge, and clearly invest time in understanding the role, the hiring business and are therefore able to identify and select the best candidates.
2 posts, 5 star are from employees.. I expect 4 of the 5 are.. And I too received ..We have read through your CV and feel that although you have some great skills and experience, they don t quite match our clients specific requirements and as a result we will be unable to consider you. hmmmm
I have been fortunate to have partnered with Cactus twice, first with Becky and now with Guy. On both occasions I knew exactly what was happening at each stage. Communication is proactive and couldn't be clearer. They helped guide me and gave me as much insight into the process and people I would be speaking to every chance they got. I have dealt with many recruiters throughout my career and would recommend Cactus as the best around.
Whilst facing redundancy, I was approached by Kelly Bristow advising she was looking Managers for a large company and my skills matched the role. Through out the whole process Kelly keep me updated, feedback consistently regarding next steps and the company's personal feedback for myself.She made me feel confident, comfortable and prepared for my interview. Amazing news! I got the job! After 15 years and 3 months of working in Energy, I got a job outside of my industry that suits my skills, experience and ticks all the boxes in what I was looking for in an employer. This is all thanks to Kelly, she worked on behalf of the company and myself, ensuring we were a right fit for each other. This to me is a fantastic skill of this recruitment company. I would highly recommend Kelly and the team to anyone looking for their next chapter. Thank you Kelly
Cactus has supplied us with amazing, game changing candidates. They are truly a partner to be trusted. We get nothing but the best, from Business Manager, to Sales Director, to Telemarketers and Team Leaders. They really listen, understand and occasionally challenge. Highly recommended.
