I definitely recommend this agency.
My experience at this agency has been amazing. I have dealt with Jumel, who has been so helpful, friendly and professional, understanding, and polite. He has always been in contact to update me at every stage of the process to ensure that I knew what was going on. He would simply go above and beyond to find me a job. My recruitment consultant Jumel extremely good at giving me feedback from the schools on my performance and also checks in with me regularly to see how I am doing.
During the job interview, he made me feel relaxed and we had a little chat about the job description where he gives me loads of helpful information. Jumel was always replying back to my emails, calls, and text when I need information regards the documents, first days at each school, he was always giving me tips and guidance; he listens to the type of school I said I wanted and listen to my views regards schools I didn't think will be suitable to me; I was so impressed with how easy he was able to find suitable schools and give me the options to choose from. I've had an excellent experience with all the schools I've worked in and still keep in contact with everyone at each school.
Brilliant from start to finish I recommend this agency whole-heartedly and good luck to you on your journey if you are reading this review.

I am happy with Active Recruitment…
I am happy with Active Recruitment because always people are honest with me for the school. Also, they always think about my travel and follow my instructions for a distance. If it is possible, they book me in advance and my stress in the morning is less because I know where I have to go and when.

I am very happy to have joined Active Recruitment.
I was not happy at my previous agency, where they never returned my calls, if they did they did, they didn't have time to talk and were very abrupt.
The consultant David at Active Recruitment is professional, polite and very knowledgeable of the schools he works with.
I wish I had joined Active Recruitment sooner. David is assisting me with my DBS that ran out. He advised me to make sure once I receive my DBS, to put it onto the Update System. This insures I won't have to pay the full price again next year, or worry my DBS will run out, as it will automatically renew for around £30!
My previous agency didn't take the time to explain this to me.
I would happily recommend Active Recruitment, and also to speak to happy David. Not the miserable agency I use to be with. I only received day to day work, which is not financially suited to me.
