Good or bad experience with a recruitment agent?
Then get along to HireScores.com and rate them. This is another great initiative from the Professional Contractors Group to help the community, both contractors/freelancers (and anyone else looking for a new job) and decent agencies (of which there are still some).
I’ve just finished rating Huxley Associates who caused me a lot of unnecessary stress last year at a time I really could have done without it. I would strongly advise anyone never to have dealings with these guys, they have no morals or ethics and the conduct of their consultants is unprofessional to the extreme. I noted with interest that they already had a poor rating before I submitted mine and could relate to another rater’s comments;
“A truely awful company, one of the worst out there. Dreadful website, dreadful adverts, dreadful consultants, like winding your clock back to the 1970s”
On balance I can’t complain. My experience of contracting and now freelancing have been very positive, dealing with agencies is the only part of the whole process I have come to dread.
I shall return to the site to rate the two agencies I have had a particularly good experience with.
