Agencies to avoid....

[DesDixon]

Alexander Recruitment

Alexander Recruitment - e-mailing me roles and typically have a wide rate band from £550-900 per day.

Also promotes Executive Jungle for CV re-writing services.

[MasterBait]

Alex Lewis - Alexander Recruitment - keep posting and e-mailing me roles which do not exist and typically have a wide rate band from £550-900 per day.

Not to be confused with William Alexander Recruitment which seems legit

[quackhandle]

Some agents are immature.

Instead of blocking the agency block the individual agent, as when they move companies - which loads do frequently - they take their attitude with them.

^^^This. Worked through Curo with MS for a three monther back in 2018, had no issues with them.

Broadstone Resourcing

I came across this gem today.

To represent me, this agent wants a copy of my passport, job history for the past three years with contact names/phones/emails, other agencies I'm registered with...
ooh, and next of kin details

Why...?

The first you can understand, eligibility to work in UK. Job history? Lead generation. Agencies "registered with"? Want to see what others are doing.

Next of kin? That's the bizarre one.

He must have moved from Insurance to Recruitment. Old habits die hard!

Possibly need to notify next of kin if I fall in a coma during my interviews?

[Guy Incognito]

Salt. Cancelled my interview without telling me - luckily remote but I was still sat there on Zoom like a melon for twenty minutes on my own. Then blanked me completely.

One year later same plum contacted me about the same role as if nothing had happened.
