LA International Reviews 

Good Evening,

Whenever I have worked as a contractor for LA International previously, I have nothing but great memories and help coming from all levels of the business. This cascaded from the actual account managers to resource consultants to the accounts and also the security manager and help desk. It left that much of an indelible and everlasting effect on me that I have not forgotten lightly. My own daughter asked me about going to be a contractor after leaving a programme that she worked on as a post graduate. I signposted her to one of the account managers, who has been nothing but helpful, kind and considerate over the past 7 years of knowing her; Consequently my Daughter is now a contractor working with LA International and from feedback received, she is more than happy with her current situation (Having worked inside then outside IR35 currently). Thank you once again! I wish LA International and all its staff all the very best in future endeavours, and given the opportunity in the future (as I am currently back in a permanent role) of working with this company again, I would relish this opportunity once more.

Thank you and all the Very Best

This contract with LAi was for 2 1/2 years for the NHS, I have previously contracted with them for over a year at DXC.
They are always there when required, very helpful and prompt payers.
What more could you wish for in an agency?

Many Thanks,

Neil.

Both roles provided to me by LA Int. match my skills and a great fit for what I wanted.

I have worked for L A international on and off for some years now. The people I have had the pleasure of dealing with over these years on various issues have always been knowledgeable and very helpful in resolving my problems.

I have worked for and interacted with LA International across a number of functions for 5 years and have found them to be consistently excellent across all areas. I would recommend them to any and all unreservedly.

A professional organisation. Reliable and efficient processes, pleasant staff. Great Security department.

! Beware. They lie to contractors and clients so both party continue their business with them.
LAInternational does not fail to give you wrong information if it works to their benefit. They will talk to client and pass information to their contractor(s), but will change client statements.
They are money driven rather than taking care of their contractors. Seem to be the case with any other LAInternational contractors I have spoken to.
They will not fail to threaten you with lawsuits and verbal abuse when you leave them to work for completely different client.
They pretend they own you and their terms in their contract alarms unethical practices.

A good agency, friendly and always call back and get paid according to the schedule. Excellent reach into SC roles.

LA international are extremely bad. They are bad at paying, very poor at managing their Clients and withheld pay. You can go for weeks without being paid.

LA Give you NO notice period in your contract . Your contract does not say anything about this and you are given no communication about this before you sign. It's bad and please ask them to add notice period otherwise don't sign the contract. This is my lesson learnt. In my contractor career of 15 years, I haven't seen any other agency having a contract without a notice period. I don't recommend to anyone and avoid this agency(No notice period) at all costs, there are far better agencies out there that will provide you a far better service and ethical practices. These days are not olden days where you have to rely on only one preferred vendor but there are several good agencies you can choose before applying for a job. They don't deserve at least one star from me.

Deceitful and unscrupulous regarding rates. Phone calls and emails verging on harassment.

Terrible company. Complete lack of information given. No call backs or emails. Been waiting on a response since February now. Avoid at all costs!

Asked me to come in for an interview as the job I applied for wasn't suited they said they had another role to talk to me about. Took my phone off me on arrival , which is fine. After this I was sat in reception for close to an hour, then taken to a board room and sat in front of the obligatory glowing corporate video. When someone eventually came he had no clue who I was or what I was supposed to be interviewing for. He told me the person who was supposed to be interviewing me was in a meeting. If this is their recruitment process how could any company worth its salt trust them to recruit for them. I would AVOID AT ALL COSTS

I have been trying to find the fate of my CV each day for a week.

I've emailed, phoned and left messages.

I would have liked to have had some communication to find out what the problem was.

Unfortunately they haven't had the decency to respond to my emails or phone calls.

Not even a "I'm busy I'll try to get back to you next week".

Their website indicates that they are proud to be the largest recruiter.

How have they achieved this when they rudely ignore candidates?

They don't act in a professional manner in my experience.

You would assume that recruiters whose bread and butter is people would appreciate what makes people tick.

And what turns them off.

It's a case of the website being different from the reality.
