Third Republic Reviews 546

One of the worst recruiting experiences I’ve ever had.

From the very first call, the recruiter was rude, chaotic, and domineering. He rang me on a Friday evening about a vague design role, didn’t even mention the company name, and spoke over me constantly. When I shared my salary expectations, he went on an inappropriate rant instead of having a professional conversation.

After hanging up, he called again because he’d forgotten key information, then followed up with emails telling me to change my CV, as if I worked for him. The following week, he repeatedly called instead of emailing, assumed I would adapt my schedule and expectations to whatever suited him, and offered zero flexibility.

When I had to cancel a meeting due to being genuinely ill (clearly explained by email), he called to express his “disappointment” and scolded me for not phoning him — completely crossing professional boundaries.

Only afterwards did I read the Trustpilot reviews and realise this is a pattern, not an exception: same behaviour, same person, same tactics.

I strongly recommend avoiding this company.

I really enjoyed working with Isaac! He was incredibly helpful and transparent in the recruitment and placement process. He helped me to find a role that ended up being a great fit for me!

I work for Titan and highly recommend Aaron Taskiran. He filled two hard to fill roles very quickly with both placements saying he was a great consultant.

He listens to feedback well, and would definitely recommend.

They deliver quality candidates! The team understands the needs and makes sure we don't waste time. They expedite and bring the best talent to the table to represent our brand and ensure quality.

I have had an outstanding experience with Third Republic. Their recruiters take the time to get to know me and understand my desires in my next role. They actually follow up with you about the opportunities where you have been presented. I enjoy working with Third Republic

I have had nothing but good experiences with Isaac Bowne over the last 6 months or so. He is a great resource for insight into the Salesforce market and has been very proactive in getting to know me and looking for opportunities that would be a good fit for me. I would recommend him and Third Republic to any job seeker in a market that Third Republic services.

Hannah was on the ball. I was looking for a new Sales role and Hannah took the time to learn what I was looking for and then match me with multiple companies. This led to me accepting a role with one of them.

I worked with numerous recruiters and even went direct to several companies as I was interviewing - but the experience with Hannah was easily the best.

Isaac Bowne is an excellent resource to Third Republic! I cannot recommend him enough. His consistency in following up is excellent and his insight on optimizations are very beneficial!

Isaac is always in touch, checking in on me. Appreciate the professionalism and concern.

Everyone at Third Republic has been great to talk to and work with. My recruiter, Isaac has gone above and beyond during the process and continues to follow up and be a resource after placing me. I really appreciate the care given.

I had the pleasure of working with Owen Mcveigh from Third Republic during my search for a contract position, which I'm now happily working in on a part-time basis. Owen truly stands out as a recruiter who goes above and beyond for his candidates.

What impressed me most was Owen's thorough interview preparation support. He provided valuable information about the company I was interviewing with, giving me insights that helped me understand their culture and expectations. The best practice tips he shared for acing the interview were practical and directly applicable to my situation.

Owen's communication skills are exemplary. Throughout the entire process, he maintained consistent contact, keeping me updated on the status of my application and interview outcomes. This level of transparency eliminated the uncertainty that often comes with job searching.

I particularly appreciated how Owen made himself available to answer questions and provide guidance whenever needed. His professionalism combined with his personable approach made what could have been a stressful process much more manageable.

I would highly recommend Owen to anyone looking for their next career opportunity. His dedication to his candidates' success and his industry expertise make him an invaluable resource in today's competitive job market.

It was fantastic working with Owen. He's a clear communicator and was transparent throughout the entire process. He’s prompt in his responses whenever I have questions or need clarification on details, which made things efficient and helped things move along at a fast pace.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Phil from Third Republic, and it has been an excellent experience. Phil reached out to me for an SQL Developer role with a client, and since then, he has been very professional and attentive. He’s always been available to resolve any issues or concerns in a timely manner. His clear approach and constant support have allowed me to grow in the project with confidence. I really appreciate his kindness and proactive attitude, making sure everything was in order at all times. I would definitely recommend Phil and his team for their excellent service and dedication.

Very responsive, great candidates, flexible to adjust to our evolving circumstances and needs. We've made multiple hires through Third Republic, and when we did on one occasion have an issue with a candidate, they went above and beyond to make things right.

I look forward to continuing to work with Third Republic as our company grows.

After 15 years in the industry and working with countless recruiters, I can confidently say Phil is top-notch. Clear communication, always available, and a genuinely positive attitude. He doesn’t vanish after the contract is signed—he ensures all parties are happy. Highly recommended!

Daryl helped place me pretty quickly with the right team.

Working with Philip Heath as a Frontend Developer at Third Republic was an outstanding experience. The recruitment process was exceptionally smooth and completely painless. Phil consistently went out of his way to answer my questions and provide guidance, making the whole experience both stress-free and enjoyable. His proactive support and attention to detail ensured that I felt valued and well-informed every step of the way. I truly appreciate his dedication and would highly recommend working with him for a hassle-free recruitment process.

I had the pleasure of collaborating with Phil Heath from Third Republic, who helped me secure a Software Engineer position. The entire recruitment process was smooth and enjoyable, and thanks to him, I ended up signing a contract with a fantastic company.

However, Phil is not the typical recruiter who disappears once the paperwork is signed. He regularly checks in to see how things are progressing with my new employer and takes a genuine interest in my situation.

I highly recommend working with Phil to anyone who values professionalism and is looking for opportunities in the IT industry.

Third Republic provided excellent support for my freelance contract. The process was smooth and efficient and my main contact was consistently helpful, professional, and really easy to talk to.
It's been a pleasure to work with them and I highly recommend their support.
