Manpower
by ninja
i was supposed to start a job at the bank as a csr 2 weeks ago, about a month ago i had all the interviews and manpower told me that i was accepted for the position, they had about a month to work on my background check which they did not finish on time, now 2 weeks after i was supposed to start, they told me that the background check is ... still not done, which is a total lie, because i called that company that does the background check and they had finished the background check and it was sent off about a week ago, and manpower also added that i cannot work for the bank if i missed any payment from any bills on time, so now im sitting here frustrated, jobless, did all this work for nothing??? seriously they made me go round and round. so the lesson here is always try to actually work for the company instead of going through 3 rd party hr companies that dont really care.

Office Angels
by Thony
I recently signed up with the Office Angels recruitment agency in Basingstoke. It was the first time I'd signed up with an agency so I wasn't sure what to expect. I initially phoned them to arrange a meeting. I explained my situation, experience and requirements over the phone and the lady I spoke to immediately recommended me a job they ... had on their books.
10 minutes later I was in their office filling in the registration forms. Everyone I spoke to were very friendly, enthusiastic and energetic. I discussed the roles I wanted to apply for with an advisor and left feeling good about the experience.
Throughout the application process they kept in touch and kept me up to date with what was happening with my applications, offering advice, hints and tips when needed.
They have now helped me to secure a full time position in the area of work I was looking for. From signing up to receiving the offer took about 2 weeks so I am very happy with their service.
They had a broad range of roles on offer which were clearly displayed in their office windows and also available to view online.
Having not experienced the temping side of their business I cannot comment or review this.
I would certainly recommend them to anyone looking for a role in the sectors they specialise in. Also for any guys reading this, don't be put off by the name. I'm a man and nobody raised an eyebrow at me being an office angel!

Reed
by Gemma Chong
I have had a bad experience with this company. They did not manage to find me any work in the 10 weeks I was signed to them plus there was a big delay when they lost one of my references. When I was finally cleared for working I managed to find a full time job myself, due to start a month later. I told them and wanted to work for them ... during this tim and continue to part time after. They didnt contact me again until 2 months later when they were obviously short staffed. I was able to let them know my availability but the couple of texts I did get from them were so far from where I live it would cost a fortune...they originally were going to pay travel but then told me they wont if I'm not full time. I've given up now, in the end I just wanted my CRB back as when I paid it I was willing and ready to work, it was theirt incompetence that caused the delay. Poor effort.
