employment agencies

[andy32]

has anyone else had problems with employment agencies , I tried a few just after Christmas it was a nightmare you would get a call about a job a brief job description from someone who knows nothing about the trade and probably used to work in telesales you would send your cv then nothing . For weeks then they are shocked when they ring up out of the blue and you tell them no thanks I have a job . I think they devalue our job which takes at least five years of hard graft to get to be a half decent engineer

Hi Andy,
yeah to be honest they are a waste of space, I got a call out of the blue after an agency picking up my c.v. From c.v. Library after 2years err I've had the same problems as yourself so I share your annoyance

In got a job through Ashbury Associates. They seemed alright, no messing about, returned calls, etc, but in my case I approached them about a job they advertised not the other way round.

Roger Price of Ashbury has been around a long time in refrigeration recruitment and is pretty good used him way back in 1986 and 2002 but back then jobs were aplenty different world now I'm afraid.
