Reiver have been nothing short of excellent with me returning to work after a long time out of the game, and has been a pleasure to work for them. They have kept me busy with temp work.
They live up to their slogan of "Personal about Personnel" also. They really do have that personal touch, being smaller and more focused. In October they hosted a temps night out dinner, which was lovely to be a part of. I never had this experience from any other consultancy. The two ladies who work there are genuinely doing their best for you, and invest in you. They like you to text them as soon as you get out of an interview if you can for example, as they like to be informed and are always interested and on the ball.
My own experience of Reiver is perhaps best exampled by me previously being on a career break as a stay at home parent. All the bigger Edinburgh Recruitment Consultants would not give me any time or touch me with a bargepole. Thankfully Reiver are more considered and tuned in and look at the bigger picture. So much so, that I now only exclusively deal with Reiver for temping, even though they are not my nearest local agency.
They are always a pleasure to deal with. Communication is always good, they are very supportive. My first assignment for Reiver was not right for me (which happens on occasion) and I was struggling with it, and had to leave. They were still very understanding and still stuck with me and the next assignment was perfect all round. They are less cut throat, and more measured than the bigger City consultants tend to be.
They also have very modern and efficient systems in place, the payroll is excellent, always on time, and payslips get emailed.
I am usually a bit of a moaner and grumbler with recruitment consultants, and their is often much to pick away at. I honestly can't fault Reiver however, highly recommended. read more
