My experience with Blue Arrow recruitment agency was terrible. I was told there were loads of jobs…read moreI may be suitable for and was never called again. When I called them, they then repeated that there were jobs for me, yet no interviews materialised and the return correspondence was lackluster. I left a position earlier than necessary because I was told Blue Arrow had good opportunities for me, if I would part with my details and join their database and that my financial expectation was fair. I will never set foot in Blue Arrow North Finchley again!

After applying for what seemed to be a million jobs on-line once I got a call from a lady in Adecco…read morewho said she wanted me to come in and see here as she had a job for me. Now usually when recruitment agencies call you up they just want to get you on the books and a lot of the time you wont hear from them again. But Adecco were great, I literally went in did a quick computer test and they sent me on my way to my new temp job which i started the next day. The only think I found annoying was that you had to fax your time sheet instead of emailing it but maybe that has changed now. Highly recommended if you are looking for a job.

There were two Nadia's at Adecco, strangely enough. I took a skills test, talked about salary…read morerequirements and registered with the site, a must for Adecco dealings. Neither Nadia, especially not my Nadia, helped me get a job although the test I took was quite revealing about my competitive nature (no shit, really?) and my ability to use excel ( common sense but I actually figured out to lie from doing other recruitment agency tests about my excel talents). Nothing ever came of this or any news about a job I was suitable for. I felt a bit conned. I think my Nadia has left now.

This employment agency have been excellent. Shortly after returning from Australia and New Zealand…read moreI had a call from Hannah Mirsaeedy and I was back in a long-term temporary assignment soon after. I've got such a nice boss in the city and my temporary employers have just been so helpful in trying to keep me employed around some long holidays that I've got coming up. Spring and my boss were very good at letting me have a day off for a competition prize that I've won. I had a lovely surprise when Sue Perry from Spring turned up at my workplace and presented me with my 'Temp of The Month' certificate. I've won this prize through other agencies but this was presented so much more nicely and I look forward to seeing my picture in a newsletter. Although I thought the voucher I won could have been for a higher value if I'm being honest. It's nice dealing with Sue and a sensible middle-aged woman for a change. I know I'm being paid less than some of the other Spring temps as I've seen the invoices come through the postroom where I work. However after visiting over 100 different countries, including Australia 11 times and having my flat and world cruises bought for me I'm not too bothered! These days one really gets a broom shoved up one's arse working the postroom no matter who the employer is. Up to the mid-noughties there used to be about 5 of you in a small postroom tripping over each other but these days you're on your own. I've had some variety in my role helping out the facilities department and reception. Yes I've been very lucky with this Spring Personnel temporary job and I used to work through them at different branches between 1999 and 2006. Excellent!
