Vantaggi

They take on people straight from school and train them plenty of skills in the world of recruitment. Its a good way of breaking into the contract recruitment world, if that is your aim. In order to learn some basics of the recruitment business this is a great place to start. They have plenty of processes and systems, although they don't always work or make sense.

Svantaggi

It is a very aggressive environment. Both internally competitive and constantly pushing for improvement in results. The pace can be a bit too much for some and burn-out is quite common. On the recruitment side you are dealing with candidates who would rather be anywhere but contracting. All of them would prefer a permanent position. That can a) make the opportunities on offer a difficult sell and b) mean you are dealing with some pretty disillusioned and sometimes unreliable candidates (the most frequent problem we had was candidates not turning up for work).

Vantaggi

Loved my team. My Manager was incredibly supportive, understand, and always rooting for myself as well as my teammate's success. Remote work was highly flexible and accommodating.

Svantaggi

Pay was a little low and you don't get paid for holidays in your probationary period but there's growth opportunities after 6 months of employment.

Vantaggi

Recruiter was responsive at first, and the team I spoke with at the client company seemed professional and genuinely kind.

Svantaggi

Here’s a more detailed “Cons” you can use and tweak: Cons: I went all the way through onboarding for a contract role, spent a full day last week chasing down and uploading sensitive documents (including my passport), and was told I’d be starting this week. Then, at the last minute, I got a single text saying I “didn’t pass” a third‑party ID check — with no explanation of what supposedly failed and no formal notice or report to review. As an American citizen using a valid passport, it’s really disturbing to have a job pulled over an opaque automated screening and to be told “other factors” were flagged without anyone willing or able to say what they were. Even after repeatedly asking, I was given no more than a generic privacy policy and bounced between contacts, which feels extremely careless with my time, my livelihood, and the very private identity data they collected. Best‑practice guidance for background checks says candidates should get clear written notice and a chance to understand or dispute issues before a job is taken away; that absolutely did not happen here.
