ESS Employment Reviews 

I signed up with ESS earlier this year for some temporary jobs and found them a very helpful friendly team, it’s been a pleasure to work with a small agency that right from the start have been super supportive and have recently found me a permanent part time position.
Payment is always on time and I will be recommending them to anyone looking for work.
Liam and his team have been fantastic.

Applied for a role at national minimum wage (living wage as over 21)
Advised 30p deduction taken ph for Christmas lay over which takes hourly rate below NLW to £12.40 ph.

Rosta change 4 time during the week, no contract, minim wage, you will be make 2, 3 people's work by your self.

I’ve been given a permanent job with a company and have been asked to fill in details for my onboarding ready for the first of October. I’m currently 2 days in trying to just login and it’s ridiculous how difficult it is just to make an account for yourself. So far I’ve managed to get up to a memorable password and then it won’t let me get any further, I’ve spoken to management about this to which they reset my account but this is too painful for what it needs to be. I’m trying to create a work account so I can see my payslips/ holiday/ days off etc not create a space programme from my phone. This needs to be looked into and sorted so it’s more accessible and not so painful for future users.

My time with ESS employment has been nothing but positive and supportive. Rachel specifically has been attentive and consistent with her replies and continuous support. I am so greatful to the ESS team who arranged for the current job I have and I would recommend them to everyone. They’re all amazing, thank you for everything <3

Having recently read reviews from other people who have worked with the agency, I was surprised by their negative reviews, I came from Ukraine and for a long time could not find a job until I registered with ESS, they always had a job for me, you just need to want to work and not wait six weeks, like some. I am very grateful to this recruitment agency, payments are regular and stable, competitive price for work. Special thanks to Lauren and Donna for their constant care!

I had a highly disappointing experience with ESS Employment. After a successful interview for a job they organized, I was informed that I had the position and just needed to wait for further details. After six weeks of vague responses and no updates, they finally told me the offer was no longer valid, suggesting it was obvious that there was no job anymore. Their lack of communication, professionalism, and responsibility throughout the process was frustrating and unacceptable. I would not recommend ESS Employment to anyone seeking reliable and transparent recruitment services.

Really helpful with getting me work on the days I wanted it, friendly staff and always got my proper pay

Haughty arrogant and dismissive.

All these people worry about is whether you have a vehicle. They will not give you employment on your doorstep and just continually ask if you have a vehicle. If not, they get in a snitt and not offer any work.
They continually advertise and just ignore people.
This is the precise reason why agencies get a bad name.

Been assigned to sorting centre to work part time. Few weeks on, I sent e-mail that I have bad back due to lack of health and safety rules being observed and also noticed lack of social distancing in COVID-19 time.

NEVER HEARD FROM THEM AGAIN. Not even a single e-mail or call.

Not professional and unreliable.
Avoid.
