Anyone worked through Experis?

[adam42]

I think that invalidates it, unless they send you back a copy that they have signed too.

[shingz]

they were active in the market in Q4 2014 / Q1 2015 - looking for consultants and willing to pay £500 - £750.

I know of a number who applied, and not a single response - perhaps CV farming?

Experis permanent roles

Well well well. I would say stay away guys from Experis, specially dealing with their Altrincham office. They will make you suffer during their recruitment process.

Ever experienced signing the contract and then getting told the start date, then having no communication from them, when you even try they would not respond, would no provide you any detials in regards to location or place of work. Then you get called in the office and you hear the news that the client have revoked your contract?

NO professionalism and ethics of this organization. I also heard stories from other colleagues who have worked through them, they will play games with you, very dishonest organization.

I was with Experis for about 17 months, and they were fine "for me", I don't expect to have weekly chats with the agent to see how it was going, I only expect to hear from them to say a new extension was offered. I had a couple of snafu's when it came to payment, but they resolved it quickly and given their payment terms were weekly invoices and payment the following Friday I have very little to complain about during my time.

But then again it comes down to exectations, I wanted nothing from them, and I was satisfied when I got it.

This is the first time I'm using Experis and they have sent through a contract with the following clause:

The Company acknowledges and agrees that it shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement for any reason prior to the end date of this Agreement other than for a material breach of this Agreement by Experis which cannot be remedied within 21 days of receipt of written notice from the Company to Experis.

Has anyone else had that in a contract before? I never have and am concerned about signing this contract now.

In slightly different words, from time to time and agency to agency, but a standard exclusion clause all the same. Usually found in the main body of a contract and then over-ridden by side letter or specific assignment appendix.

Don't fall for the first hurdle you see in standard, all purpose, catch-all, legal eagle constructed claptrap. Make sure any conditions that have been directly devised to cover you are in a side letter or appendix (also signed as part of the main contract).

Could you please let me know for which employer they lied, I am facing similar situation with their Altrincham office staff, I thought that the job is in my hand but they are taking a lot of time in giving me the joining date.

I have worked with them and they were excellent? Contracts came through in time, paid weekly on the button, portal access and self billing all very smooth.

Yup, just about to start a new gig via Experis - no issues whatsoever through the entire process.

Much the same for me.

Interviewed on a Monday and started the following Monday, all very straightforward.
