While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

Horrible staff member

I had a call with one of their staff members this morning to ask about potential finance roles. She simply told me to “apply on the website.” I explained that I had already checked the site and couldn’t find anything suitable, and that I was hoping to speak with a career advisor for some guidance.
Her response was: “Then try Indeed, Reed or even LinkedIn.”
I was genuinely shocked by the attitude and lack of support. I wasn’t asking for anything unreasonable, just to be heard and guided by a human being. Instead, I felt dismissed and treated as if my request was an inconvenience. Very poor service for someone trying to explore opportunities with their organisation.

Really poor and rubbish company

Really poor and rubbish company. The worst communication, still waiting on feedback for a role I applied for almost a month ago! Numerous emails and chasing but nothing. Avoid avoid avoid!

Hi Georgena,
Sorry to hear this. That particular role had a huge amount of interest and it’s impossible for us to contact every candidate who was not selected for an interview. We understand you have now accepted a new role, best of luck!
Thanks, Kate

Peter Strutt AKA mr useless

Peter Strutt called me asking me for an interview for a role I applied for, I accepted. 1 day later he asked me to explain why it took me an extra year to complete my degree as the client wanted to know, I went into great detail about this as he was demanding he had to know for the client, his response was the client will be understanding of this and if anything you will be a superior candidate for overcoming this. Then hear nothing for a week. I call him, he thanks me for the call as he says otherwise he would of forgot to chase up. Once again after this heat nothing for a week! I email him and his response was “I THINK the candidate wants someone with more experience”. Absolutely clueless agency who constantly lie!

Dealt with a guy called Sam Gillet

Dealt with a guy called Sam Gillet. He wanted to talk to me about a role. He didn't seem that engaging on the phone and I already had a bad feeling. Not exactly charismatic. He didn't get back to me after several e-mails. No decency whatsoever.

Not good. How hard is it to respond to an e-mail that should take max 30 seconds?

By the way, this was a few months ago now, so well before the coronavirus "caused" any issues in the UK.

Avoid this company

Avoid this company. They do not stand behind their service or business. They offer a guarantee and twice I've had them back out on it when a candidate didn't work out within the 1st 3 months. Always find a technicality to make sure they don't have to give you any money back or replace the candidate. Very poor business attitude, not the sort of company that you want to work with.

The Trustpilot Experience

Anyone can write a Trustpilot review. People who write reviews have ownership to edit or delete them at any time, and they’ll be displayed as long as an account is active.

Companies can ask for reviews via automatic invitations. Labeled Verified, they’re about genuine experiences.

Verification can help ensure real people are writing the reviews you read on Trustpilot.

Offering incentives for reviews or asking for them selectively can bias the TrustScore, which goes against our guidelines.
