Reviews

From both sides of the desk.

Six sample reviews from employers and candidates, including the one about the groundworker who did not come back.

Six of them.

Employer, warehouse

Rang at ten past six with two down on the morning shift. Two people at the gate by half seven, both with boots on, both inducted before. That is the whole job, really, and most agencies cannot do it.

Debbie L.Distribution manager, Pencoed
Candidate, office

Sian rewrote my CV by mostly deleting it, and told me honestly that one of the two jobs had a manager who goes through people quickly. I took the other. Three years on, I am still here.

Cerys M.Accounts assistant, Bridgend
Employer, care home

They turned down my request for a nurse the same day because the registration check had not come back. I was cross for an hour, and then I remembered why I use them.

Angharad R.Home manager, Maesteg
Candidate, driver

Paid every Friday, never short. Gareth drove for years himself, so he does not tell you a job is days when it is really a 4am start. I do not sign on with anyone else now.

Kev S.Class 1 driver, Kenfig Hill
Employer, builder

The joiners were good and the paperwork was right, but one groundworker did not show on day two, and it took till lunchtime to replace him. They credited the morning without my having to ask.

Phil O.Contracts manager, Bridgend
Candidate, part-time

I said school hours or nothing, and expected to be told that was impossible. Three weeks later I had a job I would not have found by myself. They heard about it before it was advertised.

Rhian D.Receptionist, Porthcawl

These reviews are invented for this demonstration site, like the business itself. We publish no overall score because we have no real one.

About the four stars

People do not always turn up.

It happens in this trade, and we cannot promise it never will. What we can do is ring by half past seven on a temp's second day, keep a second name ready for each new job and credit any time you lost without you having to ask. That morning we were too slow to find the second name, so we now keep it written against the booking.
