Anyone heard of Close Resource Limited?

Just want to know your experience with them?

Are they a good (contradiction of terms I know) agency?

I've checked freelance supermarket and they aren't listed.

Never heard of them, I'm afraid, so one takes ones chances I guess.

On a related note - has anyone thought of risk-share experiences such as credit insurance or invoice discounting?

Close Resource
Defence, Aviation and Space
2nd Floor, St Thomas Court, Thomas Lane, Bristol, BS1 6JG

I recently applied for a role through them. It was really niche skills and I couldn't have been a better match for both technical skills and sector experience - I thought it was made for me. I didn't get an interview and the role has now been re-advertised with two other agencies.

My CV was re-written by the agent prior to application and I do feel screwed over, but I've re-applied again via the other two..my chances now are reduced however.

I know this is probably also related to current market conditions and competition, but Close Resource is on my "be wary and avoid list" from now on.

Heh, they're next door to the Seven Stars pub, which used to feature "Barmaids in Basques" every Friday Lunchtime. *shudder*
