Ernest Gordon Recruitment Avis 28

Edward was outstanding from my first enquiry, through the interview process and beyond me getting the role. He always kept in touch and was there to answer any questions I had all along the way. Highly recommend Ernest Young Recruitment.

After applying for a job, I was contacted by A. Suprisingly I missed his call, so I called back. Couldn’t get hold of him or anyone for two weeks. Finally I was able to speak to someone who told me he was at lunch. I left a message. but A didn’t call back. So I continued to call and still no one connected the call. After two more weeks, I was able to speak to someone who said he was on holiday and would be back after May Bank Holiday and a message would be left for him to contact me. It is now June 8th 2026, and still no call from A.To say this is the very worst experience I’ve had from a recruitment company is stating the obvious. Utterly unprofessional.

I had a great experience with Ernest Gordon Recruitment. Harry Penny was extremely helpful and supportive throughout the recruitment process. He kept me updated at every stage, answered all my questions promptly, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Thanks to his hard work and professionalism, I successfully secured a Trainee Service Engineer position with Spray Booth Technology Ltd. I really appreciate all the help and would highly recommend Ernest Gordon Recruitment to anyone looking for a new opportunity.

I cannot fault the staff here. Scott was extremely helpful through the whole process helping me prepare for my interviews and giving me guidance so much so that I landed the job!
Their support from start to finish was excellent and Harry was also very helpful indeed. I cannot recommend this company enough and thanks again for helping me land such a great new role with a fantastic company.

Very efficient and great communication by all

I have applied for several HR roles given my qualifications, experience and knowledge and have NEVER received any communications from Ernest Gordon. I have telephoned them alas to say I have now resorted to emailing them (doubtful I will receive a reply.) Moving forward I will not be applying for any further roles advertised by the agency.

Really terrible experience with this agency. I received an unexpected call and was immediately questioned. The representative was rude, dismissive of my answers, and spoke over me. She then abruptly hung up, saying she had over 100 applicants for the role and didn’t want to waste time on me.

First of all, when I looked up this company I was not surprised at the percentage of 1 star reviews !
I had a disappointing experience with this recruitment agency and felt it was important to share it.
My initial contact was with a recruiter who came across as abrupt and dismissive. I was repeatedly interrupted, not given space to explain my situation, and the (very quick) conversation focused almost entirely on logistics (postcode and commute) rather than my skills, experience, or suitability for the role. I was told I lived too far away (a 45 min commute) The call felt rushed and transactional rather than professional or consultative.
Following this, I was contacted by another member of staff. Unfortunately, their response did not include an apology or acknowledgment of the concerns I had raised. Instead, the language used was the gold standard non-apology (“I’m sorry you feel this way”), which placed the responsibility back on me rather than addressing the conduct or experience itself.
Overall, I did not feel listened to, valued, or treated with respect as a candidate. Recruitment should be about understanding people as well as roles, and that was sadly missing here. As a result, I chose to withdraw my details and would not feel confident engaging with this agency again.

Alex is a lovley bloke who keeps you up to date with everything. They got me the interviews and I can only thank the Ernest Gordon team .

I was contacted regarding a role I applied for by Chloe. She was extremely helpful throughout the interview process and through to my offer. I am more than satisfied with the overall process and swift responses.

Dan from Ernest Gordon dealt with my role, he was always available for any questions I’ve had. Very good job agent. Thanks for everything.

Applied for a role, got a call within the hour of sending the application.

My son applied for a job at this company and not got anything back from them not even saying he was not right for the position

I dealt with two staff at Ernest Gordon, a male and female. Both were professional and helpful throughout the whole process. I can't thank them enough.

Excellent company to work for, the training and support you receive to progress your career is fantastic.

I've worked for other companies within the Sales sector and this has been by far the best.

Very thorough with all the information and preparation, nothing was too much trouble

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.
