Is a bit odd.. maybe find out where the local office is.. they seem to have ads for it from all sorts of counties

cally6008

seems to be based in London

Esqulax

but theyre listed in staffordshire and cumbria.. furthest places away from london you can get before it noticably becomes scotland!

I applied for a job with these a couple of weeks ago (Manchester) never heard a dicky bird yet am from a computer background too....makes you wonder?

Why would they pay £10 per hour to people with no experience when there are so many people with the required skills on the market? It seems an attempt to get some CVs.

If its too good to be true, it usually is!

No Company Registration No. on their website, or much else for that matter. Berkeley Square is one of the most prestigious and expensive areas in London: perhaps it is one of those convenience addresses. I hope that no-one gets their hopes up about these jobs, and whatever you do don't give them any money.

Anybody else tried them? I applied for this (mass job applications) through Reed, but I've noticed them on MANY other sites as well.

At 14:00hrs when I rang it, it said I was in position 23. Going to have a quick ring at 1am just to see what happens lol

Hi.

I applied for the Data Entry job as well, and also got an email requesting that I call them to discuss the vacancy, it does seem a little suspicious.

Looks like the Swansea one - Companies House detail here http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk/9dc29dcfa00a45e75afea483c5568110/compdetails (doesn't appear to be connected with the London one).

Dunno about this one - could be they've landed a massive contract (UK election stuff, NHS data entry?), but a bit odd they're paying the same rate countrywide - tenner an hour for no experience may be the going rate in the South East, but seems high for the North.

I think the small company turnover limit is £2.5 million (could be wrong there), so would be a massive expansion unless it's a short-term one-off job, or they've just started up as a recuitment agency.

Anyway - proceed with caution (no cash up front or disclosing bank details etc) - interesting one...
