I would like to give my opinion on Adecco the Job agency in Bristol Adecco always have a number of high profile adverts designed to catch your eye and entice you into there office. I was in-between jobs and was looking for something in an IT helpdesk position to my surprise in the window was a advert that seemed to tick all the boxes, so I made my way into there office. I enquired about the job in the window and was told they couldn't tell me the employers name unless I registered with them oh by the way registering takes about an hour and a half don't believe its any sooner that that. You are forced to fill out there own forms even if you ...  Read the complete review

When I graduated, eight years ago, I had no office-work experience whatsoever. Still, I registered with Adecco to try to get something at the bottom rung of the ladder. They made me go through the usual tests such as audio typing and letter construction and was advised that because my typing speed was above 35wpm (their shockingly low minimum requirement!) that they should be able to find me something. They were reasonably pro-active and I was sent to two or three interviews and was offered a post with a salary of £10,000. Coincidentally, I was also offered another job the same day (one which I had found and applied for myself, not through Adecco) with a ...  Read the complete review

Back in April this year I joined up with Adecco in my local town and started to apply for work with them.My first impressions of them was they were really friendly and helped me out. They made sure everything on my CV they were happy with before they would consider me to work for them. Lucky for me they told me I was successful and had been put forward for a temporary role. The job I was given was being a Medical Clerk for two weeks. Now in that role they used to call me up every day and ask how did I do? This was good of them and they were keeping me up to date with situations of other jobs available. My second job with them went all wrong and I never got ...  Read the complete review

Extremely unprofessional! You will get mad even you got a job from Adecco. I hate but I have to say Adecco is really an ugly company with un-trained staff and unprofessional service. I got a job from them at Pitt office and I have payroll problems everyweek, I never get my payment correctly. I have to spend a whole day everyweek to talk to them but they push me back and forth from payroll to local branch and back to payroll and then to other "relevant department". It just a waste of time and life to work with such an unprofessional company. They know nothing about IRS regulations and be rude to their emplopyees. I strongly recommend not to work through them if ...  Read the complete review

Adecco here in Blackburn has got one branch in the town centre. The branch is not busy at all and has got a lot of advertisements often on their shop window for vacancies. Unfortunately the service here for many people trying their luck with them has been bad. I have been one of those people who have had bad luck finding work with them. When it came to becoming a member with them on the phone their service was really bad. They just do not care the two ladies who work here about employees at all. I just wanted to meet them up and see if I could land work with them. Their response was a bad one saying just give your CV we do not want to talk with any ...  Read the complete review
