“Brilliant recruitment agency ”

★★★★★

written by Rdiajudhai on 10/10/2017

I graduated 2 years ago but applied through GRB as I had been living abroad since then. I was also dealing with some other recruitment agencies at the same time and couldn't have been more impressed by GRB, they were easily the best. They actually listened to what I was looking for rather than trying to make me fit into roles they already had available, and they were on hand at every stage of the process. Plus every single person I spoke to there was super friendly and very helpful. I've just started my new job and can't thank GRB enough for their help in getting me here.

“Amazing Opportunities and Extremely Supportive”

★★★★★

written by Traceb358 on 04/04/2017

I was contacted by GRB in my 4th year of university about a role in Programmatic Marketing. The interview had 3 stages and Programmatic marketing was an area I knew very little at the time. However GRB supported me a lot throughout the process. Not only did they provide tips for interviews both group and 1 on 1, they also guided my research about Programmatic Marketing. Thanks to their help and support I was offered a job at a top digital marketing company in London! I would highly recommend them to other graduates

“Professional, Supportive and Effective ”

★★★★★

written by erutter92 on 10/10/2016

The title speaks for itself. The team at GRB are incredible! Within a week of first speaking with the team, I was put forward for a great role which I immediately felt excited about, and they helped me feel prepared for every stage of the interview process. Joe, my recruitment consultant, contacted me at every point of the process to give me feedback and encouragement which really helped me to feel confident and ready to perform. I have now been offered the position and am delighted with how much GRB has helped me achieve that. I would recommend them to everyone who is looking for a graduate position as you're not just getting emailed leads like with other recruiters, you're getting a offered a personal and supportive process which will bring out the best in you! Could not be more pleased with the Graduate Recruitment Bureau!

“Fantastic opportunities, fantastic support”

★★★★★

written by FranzLaRosee on 13/06/2016

I am a recent philosophy graduate, currently in the application process for graduate schemes in the financial advisory sector. Having worked with another graduate recruitment company, there were a couple points that made GRB stand out in particular: (1) GRB makes an effort to ensure that the interests of the recruit match the role, besides making sure that the recruit matches the interests of the particular company (2) During the screening process, recruiters at GRB always have an insightful conversation with you, rather than conducting a blunt question/answer interview. If you do not pass the screening, they will tell you why they think you do not fit to the role, rather than giving you a form response along the lines of 'since we had so many good applications, we cannot continue with yours' (3) If you make an appointment for a telephone call they will call on time. This is something there competitors struggle with. It makes the application process easier since you can mentally prepare for the conversation, rather than nervously waiting for a late call. (4) They spend more time getting to know you. You get the chance to build a relationship with one of their recruiters. (5) If an application is unsucessful, they will get feedback from the company, discuss it with you and proceed to send you new oppertunities. In short, they do everything that a motivated graduate could wish for. Thank you GRB, looking forward to see how the current application will go

“Very helpful professional service.”

★★★★★

written by on 08/12/2015

After a review of my CV, with recommended improvements, I attended interviews for a few interesting IT positions GRB found for me. Eventually I found a role that should suit me well. GRB regularly sent me job adverts for relevant positions. They also gave plenty of good advice. I would highly recommend them to a new graduate and also to mature graduates after completing a Masters for example.

“Very supportive and professional recruitment bureau ”

★★★★★

written by SzymonS on 02/11/2015

After graduation I have came across many recruitment companies but Graduate Recruitment Bureau was unmatched in support they provide during the whole application process and their professional approach. Every day I received a vacancy offer that would match my profile and expectations, all concerns and questions were answered in a very timely manner either via mail or phone. Moreover, before every stage of the application process I was provided with an advice on what to focus on and what to avoid during the interview. On top of that, after every stage of the interview I was contacted on the phone to make sure everything was fine. I would highly recommend Graduate Recruitment Bureau to any graduate looking for a professional career.

“Fantastic service! Best recruitment company for graduates.”

★★★★★

written by DanTB on 17/09/2015

Having just come out of uni I was pretty clueless about the whole process of getting a job so applying, interviewing, testing etc... The staff at GRB were extremely enthusiastic and responsive (responding to my emails immediately) and guided me the whole way. I managed to get a job within a month of leaving uni and was very fortunate to have such great guidance. In particular the guys I dealt with played a huge roll in me getting essentially the perfect job for what I wanted. Thanks GRB!

“Best service from a recruitment agency that I ever had!”

★★★★★

written by AquaticView on 20/07/2015

I have initially signed up for the Graduate Recruitment Bureau (GRB) in search for graduate opportunities in finance and IT. A few weeks down the line I have received a personal e-mail detailing the offer that suited very well. After initially sending a CV to the recruiter, I was delighted to be contacted back with a very concrete advice and a template, which detailed how to make my CV really stand out. It contained both formatting advice as well as tailoring one. I had my CV previously checked by both university and business professionals, but the advice from the GRB fine-tuned it even further, to the point where I made changes to my general CV template. Further to tailoring my CV and letting me know very quickly about the employer's decision to advance me to the next stage, GRB agent provided me with the most detailed interview preparation that I have ever received. Thanks to that preparation, I was able to answer every question the interviewer asked me with ease and confidence. The GRB agent was always in touch, letting me know swiftly of any developments with my application. I would recommend GRB as a very good place for graduates looking for a job agency.

“Great Graduate Job”

★★★★★

written by Hampton139 on 21/06/2015

This is a feedback for Corin Ryda. She prepared me well for the interviews and presentation which resulted in me getting a Graduate Product Consultant job. I was very pleased with how Consultant went through the whole recruitment process with me. It was easy to communicate and agree on details. Recruitment Consultant was very helpful in terms of all necessary preparations for interviews and presentation . She has been patient, well mannered and enthusiastic about getting a job for me. It was such a pleasure to cooperate with her. I appreciate all the help and want to say massive thank you.

“Great Internship Experience ”

★★★★★

written by emilyrk23 on 19/06/2015

I have spent two weeks working in the Marketing team of GRB and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The work has been highly varied, from producing content for the website and scheduling tweets to helping sign up potential candidates at a graduate Careers Fair. Alongside the relaxed and friendly atmosphere of the company, this has made my time with GRB a great experience. Working here has given me insight not only into the marketing strategies adopted by GRB, but also into the way that the business is run as a whole. What most impressed me about the company was the integrity in their approach to matching candidates to suitable jobs. GRB seem to really care about the candidates they are helping, and so their style is much more personal and effective than that of other recruitment companies I have experienced previously. This is evidenced by the number of successful candidates who are delighted that GRB have helped them into their dream careers. I would recommend using this company to anyone who is looking for their first graduate role - I will definitely be using their services myself after graduating.

“Lying listings and unhelpful staff”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Kalik315 on 01/06/2015

I called GRB in April to try to find work. After an initial round of questions (the answers to which seemed to be almost wilfully misunderstood) and a request for my CV, I heard absolutely nothing until June when I called about a listed vacacy. After a struggle to find my details which suggests I never actually made it onto the system, I was able to ask about the vacancy. This vacancy was posted 3 days earlier and the requirements could have been written for me, down to degree level and amount of work experience. I was told that the vacancy had been filled some weeks earlier. The fact that the job was listed after that is apparently because the company are always looking for good candidates. OK, so it's not an actual vacancy but the company entertain good candidates. That's great; I match the requirements perfectly. Except that I'm now told that the requirements are actually significantly higher and so I won't be put forward. GRB's representative seemed to honestly not understand why I feel my time was wasted. Here we have a vacancy posted for a job that was already filled, with stated requirements that do not reflect what is required in any realistic sense. How is this acceptable? GRB have done absolutely nothing for me.

“Sehr gute und schnelle Beratung !”

★★★★★

written by Carney405 on 26/05/2015

GBR Recruitment und das ganze Team haben mich während des ganzen Recruitmentprozesses sehr gut beraten. Mir hat vor allem die Schnelligkeit imponiert. Schon nach einer Woche fürhte ich mein erstes Interview durch und kurz darauf hatte ich meinen Arbeitsvertrag in meiner Hand. Unternehmen vertrauen auf die Selektion von GBR und deshalb kann ich GBR Recruitment nur weiterempfehlen. Vielen Dank

“Absolutely the best in the business.”

★★★★★

written by on 23/05/2015

I was totally amazed at the way in which GRB (as they are often know) treats those seeking their first graduate job after university. They take an incredibly proactive approach to recruitment meaning they would come to you with one or two new rolls they'd like to put you forward for each week. It gives you a great confidence that they really want to get you a role and they never leave you in the lurch like some others I could name. They follow up quickly all the time, after each stage. They let you know the employer is reviewing the CVs, they talk to you right after interviews usually within a few hours to judge how you feel it went and it all adds to the "there for you" feel of the GRB. I can now say that they got my a job in a career I wanted, doing something I love, and its almost certainly due to the way they actually take time to talk to you and listen to what you want from life so they match you consistently with jobs that you'd really like.

“Excellent support throughout”

★★★★★

written by Anna05 on 20/04/2015

My experience with GRB was great. My consultant was supportive all the way through my interview process and offered lots of tips and advice which was really personal and appropriate for the role. I would definitely recommend using GRB as after looking for a job for 6 months I got the first role they put me forward for. They also made sure that I was well suited to the role and the service was personal and attentive. Overall a very good experience.

“Great company to work for.”

★★★★★

written by Laurachova on 14/04/2015

I worked at GRB for three months but have only positive things to say about the company. Everyone is welcoming, friendly and put a lot of effort into their jobs to provide for graduates and students. I was trained well and feel my personal and professional development have exceeded beyond my expectations. I have learnt a lot about the industry and the demands that come with it. If ever I felt I needed help, it was easy to ask. The office is sociable and supportive - it simply a lovely place to work. There are certain incentives such as flexible working time to fit around my studies and bonuses rewarded for publicity generated by my work.
