Best of the major recruitment agencies?

SCOYA

Last week I applied for 2 permanent jobs via Office Angels, I had one message left saying "Hi understand you're looking for temp work, please call when you have a moment", I did call back, didn't get to speak with the person who called me and haven't heard back................. 1 day later I get another call from Office Angels, saying "Hi understand you're looking for temp work blah, blah, blah.....", I said I was preferably looking for permanent work and they said they would have their permanent consultant call me back.... guess what, no call and no response to the other messages I left. So these jobs exist, I doubt that very much.

One of the agencies I have used, is an international agency, but have few offices in the UK. I went for an interview for a company a fortnight tomorrow. The consultant has phoned me 4 days out of five apologising about the delay as the person who has the final say on who they want to recruit is on breveament leave. They have wittled it down to two - and I'm one of them.

If I do get the job, it will mean eventually, I will be able to rent my own place as the office is 22-23 miles away, and getting a better wage to afford this - and moving away from my interferring mother!
