Ernest Gordon Recruitment Recensioni 

Very poor communication, rang and emailed several times and left messages, which they replied and said they would contact me back, alas they never did. Very rude

Useless company, terrible communication, lack of information…avoid!

Awful company. Do not use if you are an employer looking for employees.
Incredibly pushy, despite being asked not to call, continued to do so anyway, and again told not to and then I received a rude email in response.

After calling to make a complaint I was put through to someone, who it was very clear from the beginning had a real attitude. he clearly wasn't interested in hearing what I said, and seemed think that it's ok to ring on a daily basis when specifically asked not to.

Horrible experience which I have never had in many years of dealing with recruiters.

Avoid them. There are much better, professional and cheaper recruiters out there

Very poor communication, rang and emailed several times and left messages, which they replied and said they would contact me back, alas they never did. Very rude.

I am absolutely thrilled with my experience working with the recruitment agency, especially with John Horfsa. From the very start, John has been exceptionally supportive, attentive, and truly committed to helping me through each step of the recruitment process. His level of care and dedication went far beyond my expectations.

John not only provided me with excellent career advice but also took the time to understand my personal goals and preferences, ensuring that every opportunity he presented aligned perfectly with my aspirations. His guidance, professionalism, and personalized approach made me feel fully supported and valued as a candidate.

Throughout the entire process, the agency and John kept me updated, offered valuable feedback, and prepared me thoroughly for each stage, making it a smooth and enjoyable experience. Thanks to John’s outstanding support, I felt confident and well-prepared at every turn.

I highly recommend this agency, and I’m deeply grateful for John’s exceptional care and expertise. It’s rare to find someone who truly goes above and beyond in such a genuine way. Thank you, John, for an incredible partnership!

Not surprised by the rating!

Similar experience to others, zero contact tried calling and emailing multiple times all of which have been ignored.

You are reason candidates hate recruiters and despise applying for roles listed by recruitment agencies.

Any company getting into bed with you should check these reviews as I’m sure they’d be interested in all the talent and opportunity you have lost them due to being plain ignorant.

Extremely poor service. Applied for a job and tried contacting them on email, telephone and through their website, also reached out to a manager through LinkedIn and all were ignored. Instead of just rejecting you as a candidate they just ignore you - really bad customer service - I would recommend you think twice before apply for roles with them.

I was very disappointed with reaction from Ernest Gordon following a job advert which I applied for. The job was for a railway assessor which I was invited to a Teams interview as I had all the experience and qualifications for. Following the interview I had no feedback and I had to contact EG. They were not interested as it came to light, through my tenacity, EG had not understood what the job was! The company was after a trainer assessor as it transpired. Ernest Gordon's response to this was to not answer emails or calls regarding the situation. I can only think that they were embarrassed over the situation as they did not admit their mistake or follow up my calls. Absolutely disgraceful for a so called, reputable company.

Communication is very poor, the recruiter does not return your calls, followed by excuses from his colleagues.

Contacted me by email to advise they had a position that I would be a good fit for. I called them twice to speak about the position and was told the colleague was not available but would call me back. Still waiting 2 weeks later!

There recruiting agents call you, tell you they will come back to you then ignore any further communications
