My Experience with Cucumber
Working with Cucumber has been a life changing opportunity in the UK. The professionalism of Staff members, the willingness to help the employees, the trainings, the opportunity to grow, the unlimited amount of shifts and so many other things are simply next to none. I must single out a member of staff DEAN, HE IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC as he has come through for me on countless occasions.
So far it's been a 5 star experience.

WORKING WITH CUCUMBER
Iam thrilled to share how my journey with Cucumber has contributed to my professional growth and success. Some of the most impactful aspects of working at Cucumber is the emphasis on continuous learning and professional development, supportive and collaborative work environment where every team is valued and encouraged to excel, recognition and rewards just to mention a few. To be honest, I would continue to recommend Cucumber as a best place to work.
Honest review
I’ve been with Cucumber for a year, and I can confidently say they are exceptional. The entire team feels like family. They go above and beyond to ensure shifts match my availability, and their approachability is unmatched. Cucumber ensures timely pay, which is crucial for any employee. They value their staff and prioritize their well-being as this is reflective in the hourly rate. The leadership team is competent, compassionate, and communicative. They genuinely care about their employees’ success.
Highly recommended for anyone in the healthcare industry.
Cucumber is a good company to work for
Cucumber is a good company to work for. Although I have never met anyone face to face from the office they were always responsive. Special thanks for Joanna, and JP. They always support me. They are always polite and patient with me. If we need, they are there for us in 24/7. They try to do they best to get more and more shifts.
Honest Review on how I feel about cucumber

Bless to be part of the team, the good work and dedication they have impacted in the society. Thank you cucumber for having me work with you, so honoured and loyal to be here .

CAROL
Carol is an absolute credit to Cucumber Recruitment . She has been incredibly supportive and informative throughout the entire process.
Right from the beginning, she’s kept me informed every step of the way and one main thing in my eyes is, when someone tells you they’re gonna ring or ring at a particular time, that’s exactly what they do and Carol is that and more! I literally cannot express my gratitude I have for Carol to have joined me in my recruitment journey. Carol is the best of the best and she succeeds every time.
There were some instances and she completely backed my corner to the hills and I will be soon starting my new position as an Office Manager.
Big massive thank you to Carol, you truly are incredible and I owe everything to you for sticking by me and helping me achieve this opportunity!

Cucumber Recruitment Agency, the home of professional healthcare
I have only been with Cucumber for 9 monthd now and i can tell you the experience has been magnetic. Cucumber has been excellent and professional in their healthcare delivery to both their clients and staff respectively. Her wide area network has made it easy for Cucumber to deliver in their capabilities. No wonder they have loads of shift to meet staff flexibilities and enough resources to meet their clients demand. Their tech application in reaching out to their staff with respect to shift confirmation and payment thereon is highly a top-notch. Kudos to the amazing star team (Joanna, Peter, JP etc) for their promptness and relentless efforts working day and night to ensure smooth process for both clients and staff. I could have given 5 stars but left the last for improvement as I know Cucumber is one that believes in improvement to match up with world's evolvement. If you haven't been (both as a client and staff), then Cucumber it is. Worth experiencing!
