McGlynn Personal, an excellent agency.

I was contacted by McGlynn Personnel about a few job opportunities, I made an appointment to speak to Elliott, he was very professional but also easy to talk to. We went through my cv and Elliott rearranged it to make it look a lot easier on the eye and point out my key skills, my cv was sent to 6 company’s the same day. A couple of days later I had an interview which was supported by Elliott setting up a teams meeting and introducing all parties. The good news is I got an offer only about a week after first speaking with Elliott, he found me the perfect placement. We’ve spoken since then too to keep the relationship going and support me in my needs. I highly recommend McGlynn Personnel, one of the best agency’s I’ve had the pleasure of working with.

Elliot Bolton is probably one of the…

Elliot Bolton is probably one of the most disrespectful agency staff I have ever spoken to, asked for details, and when I tried to clarify, he just hung up mid-explanation. So far, one of the most entitled and dismissive people I've ever had the displeasure of speaking with.

Edit after seeing the reply: I must say that is the most blatant lie I've ever heard, 1st I was as polite and civil as possible given the circumstances, secondly I was never even informed that the call was being recorded, a call that was a last-second change without informing me as I was lead to believe the interview would be a Microsoft Teams meeting before I got a call. Thirdly, I never recall shouting at him or being disrespectful, as I was being insulted, I tried to explain that I had no clear answer for something, I was simply hung up on without a word. Lastly, as a person with Autism, I must say that this agency is the worst and most insulting I've ever seen, personally I hope I never have to interact with them again.

Kestutis Valutkevicius, we have listened back to the call you had and identified that you were rude, patronising and condescending throughout the whole conversation. It was also identified that you were dismissed from 3 out of the 4 roles you have had in the UK. When Elliott tried to explain why we could not support you, you shouted over him to which he said he does not accept aggressive behaviour and was terminating the call, to which he then hung up.

Within half an hour of our initial call Elliot had secured me an interview for the job I’ve now accepted. Can’t recommend Bolt-On Personnel enough for those in the Engineering sector.

Elliott and the team were great through my recruitment process. Nothing seem to much for them and their communication was brilliant.

Excellent Experience with Alex at Bolt-On Personnel

Excellent Experience with Alex at Bolt-On Personnel.

I had a fantastic meeting with Alex yesterday.
His professionalism and attention to detail were truly exceptional.

He really took the time to understand my specific skills and experience at a micro-level, which I greatly appreciated.

His thoroughness in refining the search criteria exceeded my expectations.

I'm very satisfied with our discussion and optimistic about the outcome.

I highly value the connection made and look forward to working with Alex and the agency in the future.

Highly recommend!

This was our first experience of using Bolt-On Recruitment. We were looking to recruit for a senior role in our organisation. Elliott quickly sent us three possible candidates, one of them has since received an offer from us and I am pleased to say, has accepted. They are thorough with research and offer a friendly, supportive, professional service. Up-dates were regular and welcome, Elliot was easy to contact, including outside of regular office hours. I would recommend them and not hesitate to use them again.

A great experience. I found the right job for me, and that’s thanks to Bolt-on Personnel. Patience and proper research was done to find the perfect fit for me, which I’ve not seen from other recruiters to this level of detail in the past. Highly recommend Bolt-on Personnel if you’re trying to look for the right job for you.

Avoid

Company Director Elliott Bolton is rude, derogatory and gives the impression of having a sense of entitlement. Not helpful.

We always go through applications thoroughly to ensure the best possible outcome for both job seekers we are working with and hiring managers.
We have a thorough vetting and qualification process to validate applicants are suitable for the specific vacancies we have.
Not knowing who you are it is difficult to identify the issue here, but Elliott is an industry leading recruitment expert with over 20 years of experience, who treats everyone with respect, so we can only assume that you were unsuccessful at the vetting stage and this would have been explained to you at the time.
We wish you the best of luck with your job search.
