After having a pretty rough couple of years economically, things still aren't great on the job…read morefront. Many people have experienced redundancy or have had to work on reduced hours. I was one of them. A number of months ago I spotted a job I would be interested in and it was through Grafton Recruitment., so I duly sent them across my CV. They left me a voicemail with a brief description of the job, and said the employer wanted to see me at a certain time. I was somewhat taken aback, as most agencies, even the very small ones, will want you to come in to register personally, and have a chat with you about what sort of jobs you are looking for, I got none of this. When I tried to call back to discuss it further, the consultant was not available and despite my best efforts, never returned my calls. I attended the interview at the time left on my voicemail and spoke to the employer, but unfortunately the job was not for me. Again I had no luck getting speaking to the consultant, so had to leave a message with my feedback. Over the following weeks, I noticed a number of other jobs of interest which I tried to get in contact about ,but still no one had the courtesy to even respond. I am now in a fantastic job that I love, but no thanks to this agency, I would not use them in future.

However this recruitment agency is more inclined towards temporary positions so if you are looking a career change then I think this place should be well avoided. If you are a student like me who is looking a bit of extra money doing catering or secretarial work over the Summer break then this is well worth a shout, though if your looking for the best job in the world, it is probably not going to be here. The staff will be more than willing to help you and they even gave me advice when I told them what exactly I was looking for. However one word of advice is that you can't be fussy with regards to the work that they may offer you because any of the jobs offered by this agency aren't that great paying.

There is a common misconception that recruitment agencies will take money off your wages if (or should I say when) they find you employment but I can assure you that Grafton Recruitment only charge the company they are employing for. All in all they are a good recruitment agency but my one criticism is that they are often slow in getting back to their clients. But when you least expect it they will call you.
