Ignored my emails, never updated me for the jobs I applied for, much better recruiters out there who actually do their job

Meridian! Putting the bs in meridianbs.
For the past 3 weeks I’ve been messed around by this agency. It took over a week just to get my initial application through as I could never get hold of the girl that was meant to be dealing with me. After 2 weeks she ‘passed’ my case on to another worker who kept asking for the same information I’d already provided to the previous one. And now I can’t get hold of the new person because they’re not answering calls or emails.
Do yourself a favor and find another agency, this one is absolutely useless.

Grimsby office.
Grimsby office.. Ruthless! Applied for a manufacturing vacancy got told my application was going to the hiring manager! Then apparently he was on annual leave. Got messed about on that one. Wasn’t happy but fair enough.. applied for another vacancy asked multiple questions didn’t feel like the advisor there even wanted to give me a job! Very unusual. Then to be given another email as apparently she wasn’t the one dealing with that one. Then to be completely ignored on that one too. I recommend that meridian business support head office gets in touch with Grimsby and gets them retrained as this is clearly either losing the company money or they are just liars and cherry pick who they want! Not impressed wouldn’t recommend Grimsby office to an homeless person!
