Recruit Direct Reviews 11

Recruitment scam. Tried to sell my son a course, they claim that His CV and interview was excellent and He only need to do AML course to get the job, they sent the link for the course provider and the deadline was 5pm the next to enrol. Searched companies house and couldn't find the company. BEWARE OF RECRUITMENT SCAMS.

They tried to make me pay for a 1k course to get a job. Luckily I knew it seemed odd and I googled it and realised that it’s a scam. Awful people preying on impressionable new graduates that just want a good job. You should be ashamed of yourself Felix

SCAM!!! SCAM!!! SCAM!!! Disgusting and disgraceful people operating a scam to trick talented young minds into buying a course that isn’t even verified. DO NOT BUY THE COURSE AND MAKE SURE YOU REPORT THIS COMPANY. SCAM

I had a really bad experience with their team , they were very nice to me and interviewed me only to reject my application and force me into a buying a 2k course , complete scam to take money from fresh graduates. would not suggest

Would not suggest at all.

scammed me into spending 1k for a course and told me i would get a job if i bought the course, i have not been able to get in contact with anyone from the company after the purchase. SCAM!!!!

Fraud!!
They are using an already dissolved recruitment company to scam people!! You can find the information at uk company house website.
A woman called sally called me and ask me for a call interview. After some so called interview question and for another two minutes they told me I am passed! I’ve never heard of this before so I started to get confused. And then they told me before that I need to get a license to get the job and she can transfer me to the person who knows about the license. I get even more confused so I said it, and she gets so defensive “what are you confused about”. Then she realised better hang off the phone before I found out.
Hate them. It is highly moral to scam a new graduate student who is at their lowest and desperately wants to get a job. Shame on them

Its a scam they will refuse to tell you anything about the company or job role. They will just make up a role based on whatever they read on your CV. Ultimately they are trying to sell you their "feedback".

It’s another one of these scam recruitment companies that advertise ‘job postings’ (in reality there’s nothing), get you on a call and ask you random unstructured interview questions, then tell you they’ll send your application to their ‘client’ (which they conveniently cannot tell you anything about due to ‘privacy concerns’). Anyway, they’ll then send you an ‘application update’ email telling you your CV isn’t good enough and to pay for a service to make it better. Despise this kind of thing, absolute scam, should be taken down immediately. Unacceptable.

This is a Scam:

Received same response. It is amazing what people will do to get someone else's money. Perhaps not a scam but I'm not falling for it.
Thanks for the heads up.

This is just a scam to get you to pay for someone to change your CV.

You get approached by an head hunter agency (www. recruit-direct.com) saying you've been referred to them, etc. and to send them your CV for the role they are recruiting for.

They then respond saying:

This is b*llocks! They just want you to spend money and they'll be both be owned by the same people!
