Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Dishonest. Time wasters. premium 0870 contact number - they make money from your call
Whilst applying for jobs recently, I responded to a position in Amsterdam, advertised by MA Associates Worldwide. Billy Jenkins was the contact, and after reading my CV and website, he informed me he would email me a detailed job spec, and forward another web development job in Amsterdam which was also suitable. 1 week later I had received nothing: no email, no job specs, no telephone call. He was "in a meeting" when I called him.
In trying to bypass Billy Jenkins and deal with somebody who did their job, I asked for the manager's name and email address. This couldn't be given, but could they have my name and number so he could call me back? No call back ever came.
A recruitment agency that won't give the name of it's manager? This is not a professional setup. Their only contact telephone number is a UK 0870, a premium rate number on which they make money from receiving prospective clients calls.
This is all beginning to smack of a scam! MA Associates Worldwide has wasted my time with false information, and made money on my calls to them. I would advise all prospective job seekers to avoid MA Associates Worldwide, and deal with reputable agencies only.
