Recruitment Process
Pros:
"A really efficient, helpful and friendly, Recruitment agency, couldn't believe how quick from interview to start date the whole process was."
"Excellent and professional service from Andy at Hire Ground who helped me find and secure a dream role. Always responsive and helpful throughout the process."
"Jon quickly reached out about the role."
"He provided me with relevant information and guidance for each interview and always followed up."
"Not only did Anthony find me my first role within a few hours of signing up with Hire Ground, he also took an interest in my long time goals."
"Fantastic company, helpful and wonderfully reliable, Anthony and the rest of the team helped place me incredibly quickly in London with an excellent place of work."
"Andrew Cox is an absolute superstar. Responsive, efficient and always a pleasure to speak with."
Cons:
"I called the agency at least 10 more times that day to try to speak to Geraldine... my numerous calls to the agency went unanswered."
"It always goes to his voicemail and this isn't the first time trying my luck with this agency."
"I contacted HG who had failed to return my calls and messages and when they found out, accused me of leaving the organisation suddenly which was not the case!"
"Instead of simply responding to her polite request for a copy of the contract that, according to them, she had signed, they threatened her with calling the police or withholding payment that is due to her."
"I’ve never experienced such mediocracy from any recruiters. I requested an apology and to this day HG has still not apologised."
"The so called Anthony, never picks up his phone and when you do asked to be transferred to talk to him he deliberately does not answer the phone."
"Maybe they were having a bad day but such behaviour is not acceptable and simply damaging to their business. I will not be recommending HG to anyone."
Recruiter Interaction
Pros:
"Anthony has been extremely helpful and supportive from the very beginning."
"Andrew is the most helpful and understanding person I have ever known, not to mention his humour."
"Jon has been so helpful through every step of the process."
"Andrew was a pleasure to work with, he was friendly but professional from start to finish."
"Jon was not like any other recruiter I have talked to before. He was very kind, helpful, amazing communication and genuinely cared that you were getting the right role for yourself and the company."
"Andy responded to my emails promptly and in detail, provided all the information I needed and was very supportive."
"Andrew made me feel at ease with the interview which I was very nervous, he supported me throughout the whole experience."
Cons:
"I wish I could give a positive feedback like all the rest of the comments but that's not the case in my situation. I applied online and emailed Anthony, I gave it a few days thinking maybe a lot of people are applying and it will take him a few days to get back to everyone. A few days turned into a week, I then went on Facebook and private messaged hire ground just to ask if they recieved my cv and that I have not heard any response back. They read my message and didn't even have the manners to message me back, which I thought was very rude."
"I was quite shocked by the intimidating and bullying behaviour of these two staff members."
"I previously made a 5 star review when Anthony asked me to do one, but I am changing it to one star due to his unprofessional and rude behaviour."
"Just heard some very disturbing things about Jon and Geraldine two of the senior recruiters in this agency."
"I was shocked by Anthony’s response when I informed him I had found a perm position, he came hostile."
"I contacted HG to gain clarity on the assignment length which was uncertain. Instead, Jon approached the organisation direct raising my concern before we discussed first which was inappropriate."
"I've emailed so many times. Customer service is next to nothing."
Job Placement and Opportunities
Pros:
"Being with Hire Ground during that time was extremely reassuring and fantastic."
"I have had a great experience working at hire ground. Also the colleague that I have been working with have been great and there area endless work opportunities available."
"Anthony and the team at Hire-Ground wasted no time in placing me for temporary assignments."
"Jon provided me with an incredible service that is second to none."
"Jon was amazing! He helped me land the job by assisting me throughout the whole interview process and informed me about everything I need to know."
"I am very grateful for the opportunities provided to me by Hire Ground and would recommend them to anyone."
"I am incredibly grateful to them for the help they gave me this year and for helping me to find a permanent contract in a role I really enjoy."
Cons:
"Firstly, it takes someone ages to pick up the phone when I call in and secondly and probably the most important, Anthony is all the time never there when I try and get in contact with him!!"
"My contract was terminated very abruptly... they claimed I had signed a contract of which I had no recollection."
"I wish I could give a positive feedback like all the rest of the comments but that's not the case in my situation."
"Great agency. First time I applied I did not get a response which was slightly disheartening but, as with other agencies, you don't always get a response."
