The recruitment agency specialise in permanent recruitment in anything from Management and Engineering to Human Resources. They really seem to care about the people that they are working with and seem to realise that without good candidates they would not have anything to sell to companies. Another good thing is that if you are no good for a job that you have applied for, they will tell you this and let you know exactly why rather than trying to fob you off like most agencies. Very honest people. The contact information above for this company is not correct but I couldn't figure out how to change it. It is: Petrie Recruitment, Oddfellows House, 19 Newport Road, Cardiff, CF24 0AA. 02920 440 990.

A couple were more helpful than others and this one in particular was very good. I walked in and was immediately met by a consultant who spoke to me at length about what sort of work I was looking for. I was only looking for a part time position and she explained she didn't have any available at that point but she took my CV and told me she would keep me on file. I was really happy with the service I received. Admittedly I have not heard from her since but I am sure that if something does come up that I am right for she will give me a call.... After all she will want her commission me thinks!

My inability to budget with monthly pay was apparent so I thought I'd sign up for temporary employment and go for a weekly paycheck to make budgeting easier. I signed up and within 24 hours they found me a job in the sector I was looking for. There were loads of forms to fill out as expected but all were relatively painless. I spoke to a representative over the phone who was very helpful but did not work in this office. The dealing I had here were less than helpful. The people here didn't know whether I had to wear a suit or not or even what time I had to start at my new job. All in all the company as a whole found me a job really quickly but the people in this office weren't so helpful.

I've had some laughs here I must admit. One great instance was when a jobworth said he could not speak to the woman on the phone who requested his assistance as health and safety would not allow him to do so. And yes I did spend the next 10 minutes taking the mickey out of him. Seriously though, nothing is connected here and for the 2-3 months I was there I only signed on properly once, that was how many problems I had. Another time saw a woman who was offering me jobs in the North of Wales, wondering why I was saying no to them and then had the cheek to say she was having a bad day in her job. Her job that she was lucky enough to have after a recession and all. I was utterly sickened by this. She also gave me wrong advice on getting a driving license that I was only told upon leaving I was entitled too. However the woman I did get in the end was incredibly helpful and really did seem to care. She did everything she could for me before I left and really appreciated that there was at least one person that understood what it was like to sit on the other side of that table.

I was just about to get the train home when I literally tripped over the sign for REED. I was tired and wanted to go home but something inside me pushed me through their doors. Nobody wanted to talk to me and nobody wanted to discuss what I was and wasn't looking for. All they said was go online and upload your CV. She finished the conversation by pretty much saying 'Don't call us, we'll call you.' I was so offended by how this woman treated me I didn't bother uploading my CV their website. There are pleanty of employment agencies in Cardiff I wont burden this one again.

However, I found that the jobs that were suggested to be were completely inappropriate for the information that I put in. For example, I would get notifications about full-time jobs even though I stated that I couldn't do a full-time job. To be fair, 'Meh. I've experienced better.' doesn't ring true here because I've not. I find that this is a problem on most employment websites. All in all, I'd recommend going there in person. It must be better, right?
