    Highly suspicious to say the least. Also looks like they created new google accounts just to write these reviews LOL. Talk about desperate.
    Maybe the OP posted the reviews to make them look bad.

      Steer clear of this bunch - they tried a dodgy scheme with their puppet umbrella company First Umbrella to charge £30 a day extra but they have just pulled it when it was exposed.
      My looks CV so much better, eh?

      I refer the learned judge to my previous post http://forums.contractoruk.com/umbre...ml#post2454383

        Or maybe I didn't?

        Take a look at what they've done to their google page. Something very fishy going on. It looks like they're trying to do some kind of SEO or something. They've closed the company page on google and changed the name. Really weird.

        Anyone know why anyone would do this?

          Why do you care?
          Those reviews are about attracting clients not candidates.
