    Bad Points: NONE


    General comments: Fantastic, found me a job before I had even asked them for one - they found my cv online and 14 month later I am still working in the same job and loving it!

    Kelly Services are the most professional agency I have ever dealt with. They do what they say they will do and really seem to care about you. Most of all they did what is unusual in recruitment, they actually LISTEN!
    Kelly have restored my faith in recruitment agencies.

    When they laid 50 of Kellys temporay staff off at GSK, (most of which had worked through them for between 9 and 18 months) they made no effort to find them work with their other clients. Not only this, as policy they stated they would not send out a P45 until 8 weeks after the temps last working day. The only way you could get it early was to resign from the job that you had already been laid off from!

    They are obviously very low on business because when the temporary staff returned to GSK the ...

    It took Kelly Services an entire month and a half to get me into the system to Substitute teach. First the staff did not give me the correct paperwork for the drug screen and background check, and let me take home the paperwork they needed to keep, then they made two appointments with me and did not stay at the location to meet me. This made me miss two days of work at my old job because they were unavailable after 2pm, plus I lost all of the extra $15 each day for the month that they did not pu ...

    In my opinion they are wasting the time of people looking for work, I personally do not recommend and will never contact Kelly Services again.

    I wasn't very happy to be told I didn't have enough skills for a telephone job wen people should be given that chance to try a different work type or the opportunity to be on the register for different work types in the future.

    Kelly Services UK is Kelly's second largest International market. Staff turnover is 65%, which means it's difficult for the business to stand still. Continuing interference from the US parent company has mostly contributed to the current UK situation. It's not a fun place to work; hence most people join up and then leave quickly, with a hardcore of under-performing, disenchanted, long time no-hopers remaining. For a challenging, interesting career in recruitment look elsewhere.

    Kelly Services: I liked working for the NYC office. They really challenged me, and the man who employed me also employed his mother. However, although placed in a "care giver" role, I am sometimes anything but. I asked to be placed in the advertising field and was granted that. Yet, I ended up being the mail lady. A lot of people talk about Kelly, yet a lot of us "temps" have tried it. I would not rely on Kelly for a paycheck (lets face it we were all probably a little underpaid), but I would re ...

    Working for Kelly Services recruitment agency is like going back in time. They offer no pension, no sick pay, no Bank Holiday pay, no contract, next to minimum wage, and no security. Is this 2006 or 1946?

    Kelly Services recruitment agency are unable to cope with the most basic of regular and punctual payment of staff, let alone payment of overtime, weekend or bank holiday work. They seem to forget that they work for the client and not the other way round. They are reluctant to accept faxed time sheets in order to meet payment deadlines.

    Kelly Services sent me to a job 14 miles away and then after agreeing a wage with me on Friday calling me Monday morning at 8.45 while on location of the job saying that I could not have the money that we had agreed but £1.10 per hour less, which would have worked out £40-50 less for the week.

    I think Kelly Recruitment is quite a professional service. The staffs seems to be experienced and helpful. What is a bit annoying though is that you can't just pop in and leave your CV and hope and pray that something comes your way soon. In order to register, you need to make an appointment and it can sometimes take a couple of weeks until you get one and then it still takes a while until everything is processed and up and running. So if you are in a rush or desperate to get a job you might as ...
