Recruiters that care
Emma was extremely helpful - I applied for a job in accounting and she thankfully redirected me to a job better suited to my CV, which I’m working at now!
Couldn’t ask for anything better from a recruiter, they seemed genuinely interested in helping me throughout.

Definitely 5 Star
Attentive, swift, went well above and beyond (Emma Purdon) was on her holidays and still gave 5 star service. I also got the job for which I was contacted for out of the blue, so just shows that they know their field and have a great aim.

I can’t recommend Emma Purdon highly enough. From the very beginning, she was supportive, professional, and genuinely invested in helping me find the right role. She kept me informed throughout the entire process, provided excellent guidance, and was always available to answer any questions I had.
Thanks to Emma’s hard work, I secured a role that is a perfect fit for me, and I am absolutely loving every minute of it. The workplace is fantastic, and the team are so welcoming. I truly appreciate everything Emma did to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Thank you again, Emma, for all your help and encouragement. I would highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for a recruiter who genuinely cares about finding the right opportunity for their candidates.

I had a placement lasting 9weeks, & agency was very sorry to have to tell me the company had to let me go. They were reassuring that I hadn't done anything wrong & they would take me back if work picked up. Meanwhile they worked quickly to find me another placement within a couple of weeks & I'm back working again.

Wouldn’t waste your time.
Initially contacted about a role, asked my availability to interview potentially, didn’t hear back that week, so chased late on the Friday afternoon. Was told they’re be in touch as they had a meeting with the client yesterday, requested and update and feedback, no reply. Called twice, no answer or reply to my initial email the day before.
Communication poor, wouldn’t waste your time, sub par recruitment.
Ended up asking to withdraw from the process and to delete my details from their database.

Unprofessional onboarding and terrible communication at Oldbury branch
I went through the recruitment process for a French-speaking role at the Oldbury branch. I was instructed to sign a Contract for Services and a Worker Handbook. Their system glitched and rejected my passport scan. Everything was going smoothly till their system blamed my document. Following their instructions, I immediately emailed my valid passport over for a manual check and called the office to confirm it was received. They explicitly promised on the phone that they had it and would verify it.Instead, they ignored my emails and phone calls. Because they neglected my compliance files, their central system automatically blocked me from starting just 48 hours before my start date. To make matters worse, they only sent me the rejection email at 4:00 PM on the exact day I was supposed to start the job, which is an absolute disgrace. To cover up this administrative laziness, they then sent a generic template email claiming the client chose someone else, and gave completely different excuses on the phone about a "scoring system."Forcing a candidate to sign these documents and collect sensitive passport data before an official job offer is finalized—only to drop them due to internal administrative negligence—is completely unacceptable. Be very careful registering with this branch.

We’re sorry to hear that you are disappointed with your experience. However, at no point were your emails or calls ignored, and communication was maintained throughout the process in line with our standard procedures.
Regarding your onboarding, all candidates are required to complete identity verification through our secure third-party system. In this instance, the ID verification was not successfully completed via the required process, which can occasionally happen if documents cannot be validated automatically. Guidance was provided to support this.
Unfortunately, progression in the process is also dependent on client requirements and final selection decisions, which sit outside of our control. In this case, the client did not proceed with your application.
We take onboarding and compliance very seriously and aim to ensure all processes are handled fairly, consistently, and securely for every candidate.
As per your request, your details have been removed from our system. If you would like to discuss this further, you are welcome to contact us directly.

We’re sorry to read your comments and are disappointed to see this feedback.
We want to be very clear that all earnings and payroll information for assignments worked through Major Recruitment are processed in line with HMRC requirements and reporting regulations. We do not alter or withhold earnings figures, and where individuals have worked for us on separate assignments, appropriate documentation (including P45s where applicable) is issued accordingly.
In this case, we have already provided the relevant P45 documentation on two separate occasions relating to your periods of employment with us. At this stage, there is no further action we are able to take from a payroll perspective, as any discrepancies with HMRC records would need to be reviewed directly with HMRC.
That said, we take all concerns seriously. If you would like us to re-check the records we hold, we are still happy to do so and ensure everything has been issued correctly and in full transparency.
Kind regards,
Major Recruitment

AVOID
AVOID. They have no respect for their workers. They failed to inform me about my shifts being cancelled. They give you the worker handbook, but they don't follow ANYTHING written in it. Never in my life have I been threatened with so much disrespect as by this agency.

Thankyou for taking the time to share your feedback, although it is a very concerning to read.
We’re sorry to hear you feel this way about your experience. We take matters like shift communication, conduct, and adherence to our policies extremely seriously, as this is not the standard we aim to set for anyone working with us.
We would really like the opportunity to understand what’s happened in more detail and investigate this properly, particularly around the shift cancellations and the interactions you’ve mentioned. Please can you contact us directly at your earliest convenience so we can look into this and try to resolve your concerns?
Your feedback is important, and we want to make sure it’s fully reviewed and addressed.
Started well, deteriorated when I was not selected for the role
Started well, with numerous phone calls regarding the role being considered for, availability etc.
After filling in all very personal details, the communication became automated, suddenly the agent that was extremely sweet to start with had no time to discuss anything.
In calls, gave an expression in being better than "umbrella companies", with this service, I don't think so.
treating people and their personal information like a commodity is very unprofessional.
After requesting to delete my personal details of their database, they cannot even provide proof that has been done. According to the same agent, I should just take their word for it.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, we’re genuinely sorry to hear that your experience didn’t live up to expectations.
It’s great to hear that your initial interactions felt positive, but it’s equally important that we maintain that same level of communication and support throughout the entire process. From what you’ve described, we clearly fell short here, and that’s not the standard we aim to deliver.
We also take concerns around personal information extremely seriously. Please be assured that all candidate data is handled securely and in line with strict data protection regulations, and it’s never treated as a commodity. That said, how this felt from your perspective matters just as much, and we’re sorry if our process gave a different impression.
Regarding communication, we understand how frustrating it can be when things suddenly feel automated or impersonal, especially after a strong start. That’s valuable feedback for us, and we’ll be reviewing this internally to ensure consistency across every stage of the candidate journey.
We’d really appreciate the opportunity to look into this further and make things right. If you’re open to it, please reach out to us directly with your details so we can investigate and follow up properly.
Thank you again for your honesty, it helps us improve.
