Graduate Recruitment Bureau (GRB) Avaliações 368

Signed up whilst applying to a job I'd discovered, unaware that GRB was a recruitment agency. I got a phone call from Emily that claimed to match me to a job but wouldn't go any further (no company name, no job role) without requiring more information, completely misleading me about what I could know about the role (secruity clearance would be needed, was their excuse) --- In fact (after 3 phone calls), I learnt the job was posted publically online and clearly did not match anything on my CV. Emily was clearly trying to push me into applying to earn herself extra commission without any consideration for my genuine interests.

I was then contacted by Karyma (supposedly a marketing manager) harrassing me about a "referral programme" which was a blatent pyramid scheme rewarded with money to get more people onto their online system.

I have reqeusted a deletion of all my data and would advise anyone job-hunting to avoid these people. Even if they're motivations might be good, the tactics they use are dishonest at best.

The company was engaging, friendly and very helpful. Aimee was especially caring and supportive.

Through Gen at GRB I was able to find a perfect graduate job. Although with how easy the whole process was made - I could say the job found me.

Of course the interviews required by the company were a challenge, but every assistance Gen provided in the getting my foot in the door and keeping the ball rolling took as well as preparing for the interviews, meant I could relax and could solely focus on giving a good interview on the day.

Also Gen was amazing at drawing attention to aspects of my CV that I would have been more modest about were I to have approached the company myself. It was very useful to have my own personal advertiser through the process :)

I could not recommend Gen and GRB more.

My thanks also to Tieneke who originally approached me about a different graduate scheme. Whilst I did not end up going for this scheme, every member of GRB I spoke to was incredibly helpful!

In the interest of a well-rounded review, the only improvement I would suggest would be a prompt to adjust my CV between applying to different schemes. This wasn't a major issue, I would only have changed a sentence or two at most and evidently this presented no issues in getting the job I did.

I had an excellent experience with GRB throughout the entire application process, and can't recommend Jake Narraway highly enough. He was communicative, encouraging and insightful throughout, and at all points in the process I felt supported. I've now started in a role and company I love and am very grateful for GRB's help in getting here. Thank you!

I have recently started a new job which I discovered courtesy of Elena at the Graduate Recruitment Bureau. Elena was incredible throughout the entire process and frequently contacted me by phone and email to ensure that I was as prepared as I could be for interviews. I cannot thank her enough as she has helped kickstart my career when I was struggling to find anything!

Elena was extremely helpful in helping me find my new career. She ran me through each stage of the interview process and gave me examples of the kind of questions I would be asked and how to answer them.

Worked with Kirk who was an amazing chap throughout multiple interesting jobs presented to me. Gave excellent candid advice before interviews and helped negotiate my job offer terms. Would recommend.

Elena at GRB was excellent at every stage of my job search. From the beginning in finding me suitable roles to my interests and experience, to acting as a brilliant mentor through each interview stage i went through she was amazing. I wouldn't have been able to achieve in securing the start of my career without her. Would highly recommend GRB to all graduates out there.

Sue Bamford, from GRB was brilliant . Our son has recently moved to Dubai ( January ) to study and Sue has been there for us each step of the way.
Sue, answered all our questions, followed up on any queries, listen to our concerns, clarified lots of questions and mostly all, put us at ease.
Sue, is knowledgeable, open and transparent.

As parents, we felt confident in the information shared by Sue.
Thank you so much and would recommend GRB -and liaising with Sue, the support is excellent.

The GRB have helped me get an incredible job to start my career! They phoned me with a role that they thought suited my CV/aspirations for work and within a few days I had my first interview booked. Owen acted like a mentor for me, contacting me before and after each stage of the interview process and giving me plenty of tips along the way. His advice definitely played a role in me getting my job. I started two weeks ago and have thoroughly enjoyed it so far. I would highly recommend any graduate to use the GRB if they aren't too sure where to begin their job search.

I am very grateful for James' exceptional support throughout my job search process. His responsiveness and helpful guidance were instrumental in securing my current position. James not only assisted me in preparing thoroughly for interviews but also consistently kept me informed about the entire process. His dedication made the journey less daunting, and I appreciate his contribution to my successful job placement. Thank you, James, and the GRB team, for the outstanding assistance!

Grace has been a great person to work with since the day she presented me with the opportunity. She always stayed in contact even after working hours which is a testament to her dedication and professionalism in her role.
I am grateful that she helped me secure a job I am passionate about. Wishing her all the best.

Also thank you to Emma for her additional support throughout.

All I can say is that Sabina Sanchez Perez is a fantastic individual who helped me find and clinch my new job from start to finish. She is a fantastic asset to your company and one I will certainly recommend. Words cannot thank her enough.

Had a great experience with graduate recruitment bureau. Very friendly, enthusiastic when coming up with job roles for me to do with what I was interested in. Came up with some interesting options for job roles that I would not have found myself all which were still related to my interests. Stayed very positive and didn’t give up after getting rejected by one job after getting to a final interview stage, then went on to find a different role where I then got the job and was very pleased with that role. Would definitely recommend to other engineering graduates looking for a job.

I've been at my job secured thanks to GRB for two months now. Within a month of contacting GRB, Ian had reached out to me about the role, arranged an interview, and organised handing over the contract to me.
Throughout this time the team also sent me a range of other available jobs. My search for a role after graduation was becoming increasingly frustrating, especially given that I was only looking for a role in the charity sector. GRB were the most helpful recruitment company I've come across. They were quick to adapt my job recommendations and let me know when new opportunities came up.

Terrible ! They are not helpful at all !

I have been applying to jobs with GRB for at least a year. Despite having graduated with in Economics. I only received one interview. Just loads of unrelated job adverts. But still hardly any interviews and the one interview I had no feedback. Honestly, best thing you can do is by applying directly to the company. GRB can't get you a job. At the end of the day you are just another number to them.

I received lots of unprompted phone calls and emails which I was unable to unsubscribe from. I also received "targeted" job adverts with essential criteria that clearly did not match my profile (e.g. STEM degree, specific language fluency). This "matching" system really needs to be improved.

An interesting opportunity was sent to me which I applied for and was put forward for interview. The recruiter did not send me an interview link on time meaning I was 10 minutes late to the interview, and luckily the interviewers waited for me. I was put forward to the next stage and was told that the GRB recruiter would continue contact and send me details nearer the time, and this never happened. I have received no further communication from GRB regarding this role, and I have no internal contact details for the company.

It seems that even on the small chance that you go beyond the stage of sending a CV to a recruiter and receiving no further contact, you will still be ghosted.

Efficient communication and good match of my experience and skills with the position.

After signing up and receiving emails from GRB it allowed me to look into employment areas I wouldn’t originally pick out myself but were perfect for my skill set. Mia has been amazing though out the whole process in keeping me updated and helping to prepare for interviews which immediately made me feel more comfortable. She was always available for help via email and the phone calls helped to settle nerves, having her as a bridge of communication between myself and the role allowed me to secure a job offer which I am so excited about and I couldn’t have done it without the help of Mia and Emma at GRB!
