Help me get a list of employment agencies.

sdavi3680

I'm looking to get a list of high street employment agencies so I can look into their websites and see if they are in my local city to visit.

I can't think of many, so can you just add to this list..

Hays
Office Angels
Reed
Adecco
Brook Street

Go to yell.com where you will be able to search on employment agencies in specific areas.

Area specific:
Local newspapers (although many advertise through Fish4Jobs)
Local councils – their websites can be found through the following link: http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Dl1/Dire...cils/DG_A-Z_LG

I've used Office Angels and Hays before and I wouldn't trust them. They say one thing and offer another and mess you around. It probably does depend on which city you live in etc. But just be careful Sorry it's not a list of employment agencies but I just thought it'd help!

Don't touch Hays with a bargepole, had a very awful experience with them.

It depends on the branch/sector and the people you deal with, I had good experiences and some bad with them.

I wonder if agencies ever email each other and say "Don't touch Candidate X with a bargepole; we had an awful experience with them!"

Not normally. Its a way in the door of companies who use agencies for staff. If they get an idiot from Agency X then they are more likely to ask Agency Y for staff when they call up asking.

What about the thousands of people they place annually with no issues? Just because you had a bad experience doesn't mean the next person will.
