Hi,

Because i'm thinking of joining them but i've not heard much about them, therefore if anybody has had any experience with them good or bad and also if recent, please share because i would like to know what i'm dealing with before i sign the dotted line.

thanks

Never heard of them. Saying that, they are likely to be no different than any other agency and have really unrealistic requirements for mundane tasks like working with spread sheets.

I could write a thesis on why people should not go to work agencies for employment. Apart from the obvious one of you getting less than your market value, the employer is being rinsed for (on average) 3 or 4 times what you get per hour.

I found out that one job I was being employed at via an agency was paying me national minimum wage while they were taking the "P" and charging £35 per hour for the job I was doing that regular employees were getting £18 an hour for.

So work agencies... Give them a wide one if you possibly can, they are parasitic free loaders that take every advantage of you, stomp over your rights and if you cast your memory back, they were not too happy when the government changed legislation that enforced them in to paying holiday pay. The last agency I worked for withheld my holiday pay and stopped giving me work because of what an anonymous phone caller said about me that was completely unfounded and when I had it out in public, they did not like me alerting the 30 odd waiting applicants that Draefern were not playing ball. Work agencies don't like being put in their place and mark my words, they DO information share with other agencies as I found out after that incident that all the agencies in the area were suddenly full and had no work despite processing applicants...

If you can, please go and get your employment through traditional channels, you will benefit more, if you get a position through an agency, sure they will be paying you but to what long term cost to you? You will never be taken on full time because of the way most agencies operate.

The last agency I worked for I told them that I am currently seeking employment and that if they want a "Pay day" then they need to get me a full time position.

I eventually got a full time job off my own back and Draefern as they were called back then tried to bill the employer I started with for a tad under £5,000 for a position that they NEVER obtained or advertised. Basically they were trying to scare the employer in to either paying up or tilting the scales in to letting me go.

Work agencies, I never trust them and they are always the very last option and I really have to be starving to death to take employment through them.

If you have to go through an agency for employment, READ THE SMALL PRINT because it is within this contract that you will find that your agreeing to all sorts of things that are only in favour of the agency and not your pocket.

So watch you back and good luck.
