Kelly Services
So far so good. Although this review is of Kelly Services in general and not just this branch. I'm…read morenot long registered with this Victoria branch and they've come up with a six week corporate reception/switchboard temporary job with a better rate of pay than I get with other agencies. I find their staff friendly and they sent me a birthday card which I thought was a nice touch. Way back in 1996/97 they had an office in Kingsway and they found me a nice part-time job at Parcelforce for about 4 months. They stuck with me even though I didn't complete an assignment once. Their old Oxford Street branch were also pro-active in finding me an administrative permanent job years ago which I stayed with for about 10 months (so they would have got their fees). Yes, so far I like Kelly Services Victoria branch and I'll see how it goes.
Office Angels
Office Angels. Yes, an embarrassing name for a temp agency, but a very good temp agency…read morenevertheless. I signed up with Office Angels immediately upon arrival in London, and was temping a few days later. I told Office Angels that my preference was to work with NGOs, and, out of the 3 longer assignments they found me, two were with non-profits. The third was with a Japanese pharmaceutical company that had a lot of free lunches, so the trade off was worth it. I was literally not out of work a day when I lived in London--Office Angels kept me as busy as I wanted! They also had regular free lunches for their temps, which were a nice gesture. Most of the women that worked there also had extremely eccentric hair.
Blue Arrow
My experience with Blue Arrow goes a little something like this:…read more 1. Sign up and get a shift that starts in an hour somewhere across town, fine. 2. Work 15 hours in 2 days and expect some form of remuneration, normal. 3. Get paid 24 pounds for my troubles (somewhat less than expected shall we say) only to find out that the person who is supposed to sign my wages off has left the company. Not ideal. 4. Spend a lot of time hanging around waiting for shifts at the Chelsea Flower Show not being paid. Less than impressed. 5. When shifts appear, they do not usually specify any kind of finish time, meaning that it is impossible to plan your time in any way. Marvellous. 6. Show up on time, then get sent straight home as they have no more shifts, even though they knew this would happen late the night before. Tears and tantrums ensued. To summarise, do not bother.

I had found this great website. It offers work experience positions. I wish there were more…read morewebsites like this. Many people think that doing work experience is just waste of time and exploitation, but that is not true. I had been looking for work for over a year, but without success. Each time I got turned down as I had no relevant (or recent) experience. So I decided to try doing work experience and after 3 months I had been offered a full time job! Now tell me, what is better, looking for work for a year or do work experience for 3 months?

I'm quite sure there will be a despondent troop of ex-Woolies employees turfed out of the Bethnal Green branch marching with solidarity to their local employment agency or nearby soup kitchen to get a spoonful of harsh reality any day now. Now I've not actually been into this Job Centre but have been reliably informed it's good for manual/retail vacancies and has a fast turnaround time for one on one consultations. Jokes aside, it's dog eat dog out there at the moment, fellow brethren, and no-one is safe. Job Centres could become second homes for many more to follow. Merry Xmas!

When i arrived i was a little bit late (10min) and there was a lot of people waiting as you would expect so i didn't really matter in the end. I was surprised to only wait 20min honestly. I don't know how job centres work here but in France it would be a nightmare and a lot of waiting. The gentleman i had my appointment with was very efficient, professional and even friendly (an other surprise for the french i am haha). All was done in 20 min or less. Impressive. He reassured me regarding all the concerns and questions i had which is appreciated. A very good experience.

I went for an interview with them for a job in their office, which seemed like an OK kind of place, if you don't find the whole HR world a little soul destroying. They were professional and offered reasonable advice, but did send me for a number of interviews that were entirely inappropriate to my skill set, or simply horrific jobs, that they had failed to inform me of the fact that holidays all had to be taken in September, or some similar problem. From my experience, if you have a language skill they need, they will be fairly indiscriminate as to who they will send for interview. This is a criticism I have of language specialist recruitment agencies in general. Make sure you ask lots of questions about the job before committing to an interview, because the information they send can be incomplete and sometimes a little misleading. However of the places I have dealt with, People First was the best of a fairly average bunch.

On average I've also found that MJ can get me almost 15% more in my pocket than for the same job advertised on other sites. Are the staff rude? Well, if you're working in a service industry then you know you have to step up to the mark. Hello????

These guys came highly recommended by a director of a Private Equity group when I was getting ready to fire our second part time FD for doing very little work in exchange for very hefty fees. This seemed to be the norm. It seems that start ups are a perfect target for lazy or unscrupulous members of the financial services industry, so when I met these guys, we had been through our fair share of these types. The guys at FD Solutions have been nothing short of amazing; honest, transparent, smart, hard working, and most importantly, I feel that they genuinely care about my business. They've gotten us ready for an audit, prepared two complex business plans that stood up to all investor scrutiny, and have been our trusted advisors on all financial matters for 3 running. I am in eternal gratitude to their professionalism and I wouldn't change them for the world.
