Hi everyone,

Has anyone ever applied for a job through this company? Or worked for them?

My son in law went for an interview with them today and he said it was weird.

I was wondering if anyone could give any info on this company? Are they good to deal with or should they be avoided?

Thanks

    I am not sure if this is the same company my daughter went to for an interview, somewhere in Belfast City Centre. She is working abroad, so I can't find out at the moment.
    It would be interesting to hear what he thought was "weird".

    Originally she had applied for a marketing job.
    My daughter reported being short listed for a second interview. When she attended it, along with several other candidates, they were asked to go "into the field" with current sales staff. They ended up knocking on doors in Dromore, trying to get people to sign up to a charity!

    Hi jtk174

    By "weird" he meant that he did not appear to be interviewed for a "specific" job. He had originally applied for a sales asst job through the "Indeed" recruitment site and was contacted by this crowd.

    They were interested in his experience etc and said they would phone him later to arrange a second interview.

    The second "interview" is tomorrow and, like your daughter he appears to be going "out in the field" with another member of staff so they can assess his abilities.

    He has decide to give it a miss, but thank you for your response.

    If you go to the Rant section a different company but same idea. You don't get paid, its all commission based. So go round for days with someone else for no money.

    I hate the charity chuggers with a passion.
