I have been a candidate of both large and small agencies over the years, looking for temporary and permanent work, with varying level of success - some have been amazing, some dreadful, some bordering on the unbelievable!

I now work as a recruitment consultant for a small company in Derbyshire, so I also have a personal interest in making the whole process better for you all!

This is not a place to hurl abuse at any particular person or specific agency - it is meant to be a useful place to share practical advice and experiences, which will not only help in your search for a new job, but also give an interesting insight into just what it is like to be a candidate for those who are considering registering.
