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

Terrible agency. Treat workers like cattle but offer zero respect. Have no idea how to run a business, nobody on-site is accountable for anything or to anyone (Banbury). Make decisions willy-nilly. Us... See more

Another agency just looking for you to sign up then never hear from them again

Applied for a job , was phoned had to sign up, went and done that got my map and id badge for starting , left by being told they'd be in contact in the next few days with start day , after a week I chased it up by calling glasgow office keep being told someone will call you back , 2days 6 fone calls ,no return calls , I emailed head office who forwarded it on glasow , then I got my answer I had been put on the reserve list , I have never been in contact since ,I keep getting stardard emails/texts with upcoming jobs. I have asked several times for my information to be destroyed /removed from database system whatever they have ,as this was now over 2years ago , and from that initial sign up I have never worked for this company , so they held my personal Details against my will

Most unprofessional company.

Most unprofessional company.
Had to constantly chase for feedback
Was told numerous times that i had job but it was on hold ? only to be told after waiting many weeks and chasing up that infact i did not have the job.
Was then recomended to apply for another position.
Gave up waiting to hear back from that interview which was 2 mths ago !
No contact by consultant made via mobile no, landline, text or email !
Wasted my time with them !
Moved over to Omega who where much more helpful and have started a new job through them.

Thank you for your feedback.

I have spoken with the consultant who has been looking after you. They have informed me that although the initial feedback was promising, the client placed the position you applied for on hold. The consultant has since been trying to contact you by telephone to provide additional feedback, and should you like to receive this, please reach out to them.

World class company to work for

I joined Meridian just over two months ago, and have never received such a warm welcome.
The CEO is one of the friendliest and helpful people you will meet, as is the whole Senior Leadership team.
They are very proud of their team culture, and the fact that they have achieved a Best Companies 3 star accreditation which means that we’re a world class company to work for. It is so very well deserved too!

A very shoddy and unprofessional company

This is a truly horrid company to deal with. They don't even deserve the 1 star which I had to give.I applied for a job through them. I filled in an in depth application form that covered my whole life, agreed to a DBS and credit check. The DBS arrived with in days and references were sent the same day requested, then nothing. After jumping through so many hoops. Absolutely nothing. I emailed, I called and 4 weeks later have heard absolutely nothing from them. I even emailed the manager, she is as rude and unprofessional as her staff because I didn't even get a response from her. There are many reputable recruitment agencies out there, don't waste your time with this bunch of cowboys.
