They contacted me about an "urgent" role and I looked like the ideal candidate for the role would I be interested. I said I was and could she give me more details. After a brief conversation I was advised I would need to come in to officially register but my CV would be sent to the client. I was given a date and time to complete the registration. I took time and went to their offices. I was promptly handed a clipboard with the paperwork on it to register, after this was completed I was briefly interviewed by a "consultant". I found it very strange that I was not given a skills test as the role involved a certain typing speed. The whole thing stunk from the outset, the promises were made that they would be in contact later in the week to hopefully arrange an interview with the client. Still head nothing from them not even a sorry you were not selected for this one. I understand that they have a lot of candidates on their books and it may be difficult to contact everyone but really it was a whole waste of time. There are so many good agencies out there and I have had work through many of them but this was one of the worst experiences with a recruitment agency I have had. Avoid at all costs!!
