Update: 26/2/2014... I did receive a phone call sparked by this review from a Manager at the Manchester office. He saw this review and took the time to find my records and give me a call. He sincerely apologized and said it was important that no one every walk away from their office ever being treated that way and even offered to cover my cost of the safety boots.. Still overall a horrible experience, but he restored my faith a little in their company. .. so I'm moving up my rating to two stars

I was contacted by Time Recruitment office in Manchester about an immediate opening in Blackburn the city I live in. Jayla (or Jalee) from the 8 Loom Street, Manchester office said to get the job it was required I make a trip to Manchester and fill out all the forms for the Job. So needing a job last Thursday in a snow and ice storm I drove the 60 mile round trip to complete the paperwork. While in Manchester I was told by Jayla that she would contact me Friday and at the latest on Monday with information about the position, also while in Manchester office I was told by another Time Recruitment employee to be sure to purchase steel toed shoes and a safety vest for the position, suggesting a shop there close to their office. .
After acquiring steel toed shoes and a safety vest, No call on Friday and then late in the day on Monday still no call, I called their office and inquired about the Job and I was told that Jayla was not in the office and she would call me before the end of day.. So, after 5pm Monday, still no call I called their office again and was told Jayla was busy and she would call me Tuesday morning.
Tuesday morning just before noon, still no call, so I called the office again and was told Jayla was busy and she would call me later today. I insisted to talk to Jayla and she basically said that she has not heard back from the job and would call me if she heard anything. I suggested that she should have at least called to inform me Monday since she said she would let me know on Friday or Monday, and she took offense and said she had nothing therefore there was no reason to call and proceeded to tell me they were a temporary hiring service and they were not required to call their potential clients, and even went as far to deny that she or the three other people in their office even mentioned calling me on Friday or Monday.
So, no job, this after a 60 mile round trip (the morning drive in snow and ice) the acquisition of steel toed shoes and safety vest that I may never have the occasion to use. If there were Negative Stars to rate this company based on the honesty and treatment from this Manchester office a correct rating would be a negative 2 stars..
