avoid David Jones crap recruiter
I was dealing with an agent called David Jones, who never called me about the job, he submitted my details without a formal consent and never replied to any of my emails and cancelled all my calls! he's a waste of space! it's people like him that give recruiters a bad name! he should be struck off from recruiting, only interested in lining his own pocket.

Hi Ayodele, we really appreciate you taking the time to share your rating with us. It’s great to hear about the 5 Star service we provided! We look forward to working with you again in the future.
The Manager who’s present.
The Adecco manager on site at STN8 Amazon Magna Park makes frequent rounds inside the warehouse on different shifts in company of his assistants just to meet associates and check how they are doing. He is always looking to see how he can make things easy. I witnessed one day a colleague stopped him in break room and showed him his feet blisters for uncomfortable boot. He gave him a new one in the same shift! Very quick to act.

Harassed me with emails and phone calls on 1st day of new job, useless when I asked them to resend me a link and after a week at the job they still haven't set my profile up so i haven't been paid. incompetent at everything, i found the job myself but had to use them to get paid which hasn't happened. clearly only care about using people as a money maker.

If your face doesn’t fit, they won’t even respond to you
Adecco are a company that only choose to give opportunities to people with the right face, they’re not interested in promoting diversity and inclusion, and I hope they stop wasting my time in future with job opportunities they’ll never give me. Don’t have a black person on your email list just to make up the numbers, it’s insulting.

Never again
Sent many job applications, no reply. Never call you back. Only interested in making their commission . This agency acts more like a sales firm than an agency.

I work with Adecco in welwyn and needed some extra hours . They've been very helpful and every week they ensure I have additional hours . Special thanks to Kat she goes over and above to ensure I have work and paid on time.
Even coming in to check on me during shifts, so happy with this agency, didn't think I'd find extra work around my schedule but they made it possible.

undermined my worth but also made me feel degraded in the process
I recently had an unfortunate experience with this agency, at the LEICESTERSHIRE BRANCH that left me feeling disrespected and undervalued as a professional candidate. During a discussion about my desired salary, the agency representative made a dismissive comment, saying, "Let's not shoot yourself in the foot." This remark not only undermined my worth but also made me feel degraded in the process.
As someone who takes pride in my skills and qualifications, I expect to be treated with respect and professionalism during such conversations. Being told not to "shoot myself in the foot" when discussing my salary preferences was not only unprofessional but also belittling. It is crucial for a body such as Adecco to understand that every candidate's desired salary is a reflection of their experience, expertise, and value in the industry.
I believe that as a professional candidate, I deserve to be heard and respected, rather than being subjected to dismissive remarks that diminish my worth. It is essential for agencies to approach salary negotiations with sensitivity and understanding, recognising the importance of valuing each candidate's contributions and aspirations.
I hope that this feedback serves as a reminder for agencies to treat all candidates with the respect and dignity they deserve.

i'm still waiting
I Got a phone call two months ago telling me that the review about Jake at the Chatham Branch was unfair.
She told me that she would find me a job as Jake was not entertaining me as I had left a job which I did not apply for. I have seen plenty of forklift driving jobs on Adecco Web site and have applied. Jakes lady friend is more helpful then having no hands trying to have a conversation with a deaf person.

Outstanding support
Big thanks to the Adecco National Accounts Team and Stephanie for their unwavering support. Although I didn't land the role, their assistance surpassed my expectations. They kept me informed every step of the way, diligently following up with the client for feedback. Their personalised and empathetic approach stood out. I'll definitely consider partnering with them again in the future. Much appreciated!

Hello Adélaïde,
Thank you for sharing your review with us about your experience at National Accounts Team. We'll be sure to pass along your feedback to Stephanie. At Adecco, we value building lasting connections and truly appreciate your input, as it helps us continually enhance the quality of service for our candidates. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavours!
Disrespectful of others time, no integrity and inept with communication
Extremely disappointed with the recruiter's lack of respect for my time. Steven Parker, showed up over 20 minutes late to our meeting, not once, but twice. Basic communication skills were lacking, leaving me waiting without any notice. Unprofessional behaviour like this reflects poorly on the company's reliability and professionalism. Judging by the experience I received, I have little to no confidence that Adecco actually care about their candidates and put minimal effort in the work that they do. Empty promises and no integrity.
