found grafton in newry very unhelpful don't want to know you sent application forms in for jobs and they never passed them on to employers every time you go into them they tell you that there's no jobs that suit even after I seen then on there web site pure joke

I cannot describe the frustration at certain members of the staff. I replied to an ad, and was given a blunt email asking me to arrive at Grafton at 10am the next day. I sent three emails asking WHICH office, the third was answered. I arrived, whereupon they asked for a reel of information that I hadn't been asked to supply or bring with me. I was given a day to start, with the promise of further info after I supplied the information I hadn't been asked to bring and that was the last I heard. Yes, just the DAY. No time, no place of contact. I asked in an email exact time. Nothing. I forwarded my ID and NI number and asked in this email. Nothing. I forwarded both again Nothing. The night before the DAY I was given, I emailed again. Nothing. My brother who had also applied, emailed. Nothing. He asked again, and got a reply. With a few hours to spare. I turned up anyway. Absolutely unbelievable. It is incomprehensible the lack of professionalism or even competence displayed. Of all the people who enter their doors looking for work, it is not physically possible that this person was actually seen or heard before they were employed in this role. I also believe, from the reaction of the receptionist, that this is not the only case where she has acted in such an incompetent manner and that they would have an idea who this is. Please, please, drop this member of staff like a hot potato, and job seekers, please be prepared to be extremely patient.

I registered with this agency as a result of a job I saw Online. I had three phone calls from a consultant about three different jobs and I said I would be interested. I have heard nothing from the consultant since. I called several times and was told the consultant was not there. I have emailed and there has been no response. I would not recommend this agency.

I registered with Grafton recruitment just over two years ago and used the branch in Bangor. The staff member with whom I dealt was pleasant, helpful and optimistic about placing me in employment. I was willing to accept any type of work full-time or part-time and could therefore not have been more flexible. A month later I was in permanent part-time employment which I had found through the Job Centre and was in fact yards away from the Grafton agency. I settled into my new job for a month and then called into Grafton from whom in the two month I had heard ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. The reason offered was that they had lost my CV which I duly produced again and waited. TWO YEARS AND COUNTING.
