Employment Agency

Professional, friendly, useful services

Staff is very friendly and helps a lot.

Katy is the best. Whenever I need a hand around here, she makes it easy to get the help I need without going through the hassle and expense of hiring someone. She makes me feel like my needs are her top priority and works tirelessly to get me taken care of. It is nice to know that I can call her anytime I need a little extra help. Thanks for your help!

Was contacted by them after they found my resume online. Was told I was going to be set up with a respectable firm in town for an interview. Never heard from them. I called at least twice a week for 4 weeks. Was told on two seperatw occasions that my resume was being hand carried to the firm. I never, EVER recieved a call from them for a status update on where things were headed. I even told them that I was willing to look at other positions if they had them. I decided to take matters into my own hands. I called the firm myself and guess what, my resume never even made it into their building. Not only was I lied to but then I decided ro go into the office to see what had happened. They had the nerve to call me later in the day to tell me that one of my references never responded and they needed a different one to finish the process. Why did this phone call not come 3 weeks ago? I called and asked the reference in question and he told me he responded to them almost immediately through email as soon as they asked. Awful experience. I have never worked with a temp agency before and was extremely dissapointed and dissatisfied with the entire experience. Started strong with a lot of hope and then nothing. To be fair there was an extremely nice young lady that tried to help me the day I went in to question the process. Wish I could remember her name. She was very young and extremely polite.

I signed some months ago, they called me in the afternoon but I was at work so I asked them if they could call me in the morning that I’m at home (the day after they called me back but again in the afternoon and I couldn’t answer). So I went to Victoria office and asked to set up an appointment. They told me It was not possibile and I had to send an email. I sent the email but they NEVER replied. Awful, just a waste of time.

I had an excellent experience with fashion and retail personnel, who landed me a great job with a great company. A special thanks particularly to Aoife and Dominique who provided great support and guidance before my interview :). This is a one in a million recruitment company!! Amaju Ogun x

Now run (so I believe!) single-handedly by Rafe Knowles, I wanted to write on here and say that as a candidate and jobseeker of Edward Selden services, I cannot fault them as a recruitment agency. Small in size but powerful and know the game well. Found me a job in a organisation I have been trying to get into for years. If Rafe is running this show on his own, then I can understand why some people may feel that not enough time or attention is given to them, but as any good job-hunter knows, it's 'banging the drum' and making some noise that will get you the attention; whether you manage to sell yourself for a potential job is.... well..... down to the individual themselves!! Rafe will open the doors, but you have to be able to walk through on your own two feet! All in all, this is a great agency and able/willing to find great vacancies and get you in the door of such companies looking to recruit. Always friendly, approachable and direct too - I find honesty can be a bit to real for some people but I love the fact Rafe will be straight down the line with you - have used his firm, and will continue to do so, for many years to come!
