HFG Review
No feedback provided when promised (2 days, even though passed 2 months since). Have contacted one of the companies and was told that the feedback was very good, however it seems the agency did not pass it forward. Meanwhile, was told the job was taken.

Hi Olivia. Thanks for the review. This is something we see as vitally important as a company and we're sorry to hear of a lack of feedback. Please contact enquiries@hfg.co.uk if you would like us to look into this further.
Lack of communication
Generally a good array of roles available and the recruiters are very friendly. General perception is that they may be under resourced as it's often challenging to get any responses from them. I have had multiple times where I have consistently have had to chase and still don't get a response meaning the communication is unfortunately the worst I've seen around. Becomes tiresome after a while meaning is just easier and simpler to work with other agencies.

Dealing with HFG was good as I have had a good consultant ( thank you Simona Zalyte). Simona was very professional and made sure to put me forward to a job that is befitting my background and other requirements. And I got the first role that I was interviewed for. I am glad that I came across HFG during my job search.

Lots of initial contact and then gradually they presumably move onto other recruits. I got an interview nearly immediately but with little follow up and no confirmation of the outcome of the interview.
