I have been working for Kings Recruitment for about a year and half now and would highly recommend Kings to anyone. Kings have always provided me with work, and been prepared to assist and support me at anytime. Kings are an excellent agency to work for, especially Lisa and Vidya, who have always been professional and friendly. Great with keeping you up to date with roles that are available, and supportive whilst on assignments, and are always on hand to help with any concerns. Look forward to working with kings in the future
Be careful of this agency. They found me some nice work at McDonald's HQ in the post room but I feel they tried to enact revenge on me in a sneaky way after I'd had a row with one of their consultants on the phone about being underpaid one week. The MD phoned me with this opportunity of a two week archiving assignment in Indonesia which I declined. Sounds very fishy to me. Why would an Indonesian company pay a foreigner to fly to Indonesia for a two week temporary archiving assignment? To seize a passport perhaps or gain personal information? I wouldn't even have agreed even if the workplace was in the USA. Either King's are too dumb and gullible to spot that this is suspicious or perhaps more sinisterly they were in on the scam.
Awful. Trying to bypass a formal hiring process by over-riding HR to get temp staff in to fill a role that supposedly the client is despearate to be filled. No timescale given for assignment. Just one big game where the cadidates are not respected but the client's needs are more important. Without candiadates, clients' needs cannot be fulfilled so perhaps think about theat and be transparent in your vacancy ad and not waste job seekers' time. Don't get me started on what happened with private information from a previous candidate on view for me to see during my interview. Avoid!!!!!
I have been thoroughly impressed with Kings Recruitment and the staff are so friendly and made me feel incredibly welcome from the minute I walked through the door. I was impressed with the structure and layout of the offices and how they are professionally split into different sections, you have temporary staff section, permanent staff section, accounts and marketing. I was very warmly greeted and offered refreshments which went down very well. I was also very impressed with my pre-interview registration with Sharon Hopkins, she seemed very interested in my CV and I felt I would always get an honest answer from Sharon giving me guidance and areas where I could improve my chances of getting a job with an employer. Sharon went into detail about Kings Recruitment and I was amazed at the number of specialist candidates Kings have on their books and really impressed with some of the huge corporate blue chip clients that Kings provide staff for in relation to reprographics and digital document management. It was obvious to me the staff are encouraged to go on training courses and seminars to keep their product knowledge up to date and what a great idea to be able to meets a clients needs and requirements because they understand exactly what type of candidate fits the profile of the client. I would highly recommend Kings Recruitment to anybody and you will be really impressed the staff there and the great atmosphere. It was a real pleasure meeting Sharon, Rachel, Joanne and Molly. Keep up the great work ladies! Thank you, Colin
I'm really rather angry with myself for having left this review so very late, especially since Kings were instrumental in helping me find employment. About three years ago I got made redundant from my job as a legal proofreader at a top city law firm. I kept my ear to the ground and was approached by a few agencies for new jobs. None of those agencies had the calibre of staff that came from Kings. Its staff were proactive in the extreme when something suitable came up, and put me forward in a very energetic way. Every step of my interview was followed up with phone calls from staff, and at one point when I rang up, quite late in the evening, to inquire how my test for said job had gone, the phone was answered from the very lady who owns the company herself and she could not have been more charming and reassuring to me. Kings needed to meet me in person but in order to save me a long journey to their office, they actually went out of their way to meet me on the same day and in the same location that I had my job interview, thus saving me lots of time. I never forgot that level of care. In short, I think this demonstrates a recruitment agency that has established high standards of client care from top to to bottom. To Kings: please accept my apologies for not having said all this before; I hope the staff that helped me will have what I am saying now taken into account in appraisals and feedback and are highly merited accordingly. To anyone thinking of using Kings: on my experience, they are the best recruitment agency I've ever come across.
