Had a great experience with Power Placements over a year ago. Got me an interview and a job offer within a few weeks. Recommended!

This was the most unprofressional agency I have ever been to. Didn't even use the usual agency spin. Even asked if I had children or was married like it was 50 years ago. read more

Adecco UK
(1 review)
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.
COREcruitment
Again another agency review. I've been through so many agencies in London, that has given me a…read moreboost in my review numbers. COREcruitment specialises in hospitality and the service industry, however they do sometimes get roles outside of that area. And that is how I come to them. They are professional! And unlike most agencies in London, you will not get harassed every 10 minutes! And it was safe to give them my references! Some agency harass my references which is why I never give out reference phone numbers. I didn't have this problem with them. They do have a large list of roles to fill. It's worth giving them a shot!
Spring Personnel
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!

The recruiters take you into a little cubicle (I mean cubicle in the cutest way) and ask you loads of questions. I was looking for a reception job entertainment.

I get a call about a potition i applied and that guys practically told me off. Apart the fact that when i said my salary expectation he basically replied full of irony "isnt that a big jump for you?". Anyway, i dont want to get into details but practically this guy judged me without even hearing what i had to say! Typical millenial generation! I saved their number to avoid them from now on! Disgracefull! You guys (management) should be ashamed for letting there kind of people ruin your reputation!

Lovely employment agency. I first registered in January 2006 and they found me some temporary work…read moresoon after. That March, I started an archiving/postroom temporary assignment at a private investment bank through ROC/Temps-Online which proved to be one of my best jobs ever and lasted for 17 months. I won their Temp of The Month prize once. In more recent times, following the credit crunch, I've had short term assignments but I'm enjoying the variety to be honest. A media company that Temps-Online introduced me to in February 2006 call me in directly from home and I fax over my timesheet to the agency. I've completed over a year's work since 2006 on and off with this media company. Jools Lambe is lovely! They also have Christmas parties for their temps. I usually get on with their clients although I've had a couple of bookings that I would not have stayed at because I didn't like the bosses (but fortunately these bookings were only for a few days anyway). Pay rates are average and I have been paid on time nearly always.

One of their consultants rang me, saying she had found my CV online and would like me to go in and register. I went in at the time and date she decided (this bit is important). Well, I arrived and it was friendly enough. The receptionist was very nice, she checked my right to work and took a photo of me just for our records. She then gave me lots of forms to fill in which I started. The receptionist showed me an area with sofas where other job applicants were filling in forms too. I had only just started when my consultant came in, said hello, but then took the forms from me unfinished because she said there wasn't time to bother with all that because she was in a hurry. She then took me to an interview area with more sofas, asked me a couple of questions about my journey and where I lived, then said it was nice to meet me but she had to go to lunch now. I thought this was extremely rude and unprofessional, especially as SHE chose the time and date, and I had paid all my travel costs on the tube and train. I have emailed a couple of times but they have never been back in touch. I think they were well out of order and I wouldn't recommend them from this experience.

They were very positive and promised to contact me as soon as possible. A month went by and I had not heard anything. I made several attempts to contact someone at the agency to see about the possibilty of getting work and I was only told I would be contacted when a suitable position came up. I've spent the last five years working in various administrative office positions, so I have quite extensive clerical, secretarial and receptionist experience but I got no support or help from this job agency. After several more weeks I was contacted and offered an assignment of handing out leaflets on the street corner for £7/hr, which I declined. That was the last I've heard from them. Subsequently, I registered with another job agency and found full time work within two weeks. My advice is if you are serious about finding a job, do not look at Attic Recruitment for being any help at all. They are quite honestly a joke.

While other agencies expect you to call their offices on a daily basis to seek work, May and Stephens actively seeks work for you and efficiently communicates it to you. Their clients are luxury retailers located in some of the most renowned streets in London, that treat temporary workers as if they were part of the team. Working for May and Stephens means that you will benefit from the flexibility typical of the temporary sales assistant position, while having the chance to work in fun work environments for some great brands. Oskar and Caroline are always keen to help and go the extra mile thanks to their professionality and friendliness. I would definetely reccommend May and Stephens to anyone seeking permanent or temporary jobs.
