Spam!!!
Started spamming my whatsapp out of blue and ignored my requests to explain how my contact was obtained. Don’t care it the business is legit or not, just stay away from people whatsapp
Contacted me on WhatsApp without even…
Contacted me on WhatsApp without even ateempting to connect on LinkedIn first. Seems somewhat unprofessional. I looked up the person who contacted me, who has their entire name in full caps on their profile on LinkedIn. The name they introduced themselves as, didn’t match what WhatsApp identified them as either. That was enough for me to block and move on.
They are looking after you.
They are looking after you.

I recently joined Balfor Recruit because of Will Allen! After a quick interview I really wanted to get on board with his team as he was so motivated to get me into work asap. I highly recommend this recruiter and agency as they seem very determined and all ball with roles that suit you! Will encouraged me to keep going when jobs were scarce and because of him I have so many opportunities come! So thank you and I look forward to working alongside you in future Will. 5/5 service.

Hugely unimpressive, unprofessional and unresponsive
Unprofessional , uninformed and condescending. Recruitment consultant and office staff obviously don't listen or care. My consultant never listened when first signing me up. Company ignored consistent requests for my basic and lawful workers right of receiving my wage slip. But like many agencies obviously preferring to make extra out of you by auto enrolling you into their umbrella partners. When a worker, knowing their rights refuses to be paid this way and only through PAYE, they encounter issues as I did, in not receiving any wage slips at all for over two months.
After persistently contacting company finally after over two months I speedily received wage slips from upper management after yet another call to chase them, surprise surprise they were just about to call me so I was told and asked now matter resolved if could take my previous posted and much poorer and unimpressed review, I'm sure sparking action to resolve my basic long overdue request with lots of excuses given and condescension. Recruitment consultant and staff obviously needed further training as no online portal was ever mentioned in whole two months? I would strongly suggest and have to many friends or colleagues in the education sector when asked that I recommend registering with any other agency than this less than professional, unresponsive and poor excuse for one.
Very friendly and helpful staff
Very friendly and helpful staff. They got me work alot quicker than I thought they would.
