Service was good and fast process. All services in English but it does not matter in today’s time. Better should be contracting conditions.

The collaboration with G2 is going very well. The staff is very interactive and helpful. The only downside is that they require a discount if you want to receive your salary on time. Otherwise, very p... See more

Useless spammers

Spams me LITERALLY THREE TIMES A DAY with e-mails about jobs that don't suit me at all.

Had multiple conversations on the phone and via email with them, but they just ignore what you tell them about what you want and send you everything they have all the time.

I had a great experience working with g2 recruitment, especially with Eleanor Baker who supported me in a very professional manner. It's pretty amazing stuff , and I don't know how she do it, but she could accelerate all the official process and helped me to join Biovotion AG in a short period of time. She was very supportive the entire time. After joining the company, she kindly continued to support me.

Highly recommended for any freelancer

Working as a freelancer at G2 and it has been a great experience. No hassle with timesheets as they are done electronically, correct and in-time payments. G2 is a great recruiter to work for and highly recommended for any freelancer. Big appreciation to Deen Siari providing me the roles and extensions for the last 3 years.

In year 2019 Jake Gallagher placed me at One Creative Environment Ltd as architectural technician.
All the paperwork was carried out electronic, it was swift and quick.
Few was tick boxes exercise.
As a freelance workers my questioned were answered and to my satisfaction.
Also, as per the contract regulator payment were made.
First payment was made after four weeks, there after it was rolled out weekly.
Jake Gallagher was also contactable for chat after office hours.
My time with g2 was satisfactory and enjoyed working at OCE Ltd.

This is my second time working with G2…

This is my second time working with G2 and it definitely won't be the last. Their consultant Jay has been a delight to work with. His professional manner and enthusiasm coupled with his knowledge of the clients and roles available for me was second to none.

It was nice to speak to someone like Jay who was genuinely interested in getting the best contract for me and always gave an honest opinion.

Their online portal and general administration support was a breeze to go through and they always stayed in touch making sure I was happy throughout the contract process.

I highly recommend that you work with G2 if you get the opportunity.

Working with Jake at G2 has always been a pleasure. I have been contracting for over 20 years and Jake with G2 ticks all the boxes for being a good agent.

One of the characteristics the set Jake apart is is the ability to be sincere with me about possible roles and extensions. In this day and age of using positivity as a risk avoidance technique, it's nice to have someone who is willing to share their honest perspective.

G2 follows Jake's capability, I have been paid quicker than any other agency and their online portal was easy to use. When I thought they make a mistake on payment, they quickly got the right people in touch with me, gave me all the information I needed in order to discover that is was a typo on my part.

I have read some of the reviews here and I have been very surprised at some of the negative comments. I can say that many of them, in my opinion, seems to new to using agencies, they are frustrated that the work journey is not the same that they are accustomed to.

Absolute delight to work with G2

It has been an absolute delight dealing with G2 Recruitment, especially Otis. I have now been with the G2 for more than a year and have had a great experience from initial contact to job interview, signing of contract to joining instructions and continuous timely support to on-time payments.
My point of contact at G2 Recruitment (Otis) is always a phone call away as and when needed.
In addition, considering I relocated from Scotland to Wales, Otis was exceptional in providing support during my relocation, he even compiled and shared a list of suitable and commutable local areas to the end client site.
All-in-all a thorough professional service with personal touch.
Many thanks to whole team at G2, especially Otis.

g2 Recruitment.

g2 Recruitment.
Excellent service, this is the first time that I have worked through an employment agency and would recommend g2's services to anyone.
I originally had two issues, i.e. contract wording and first payment. however both were resolved to my satisfaction very quickly. Since then it has been a pleasure to work with them as they take all the invoice and payment hassle away from dealing direct with the client.
Payments are consistent and on time which makes for great peace-of-mind.
Great company!
Many thanks to Otis, he always listens and acts well - very professional at his job.

Excellent Company

I have worked for many Agents over a 25+ year period and g2 are one of the top two certainly. The team and particularly Otis where brilliant at all stages of my time with them and on all fronts, Contract, Insurances, Timesheet system and much more. Otis helped me feel comfortable with my new end client. I hope to use g2 again in the near future as they serve my needs as a Contractor running a small Limited Company.

Otis - Great Chap

I give my credit to Otis who is a pro active, sharp, dedicated & friendly genuine gentlemen. very hard working. for Otis I would give him 5 stars, however the G2 administration side of things can be annoying. Their online time sheet/payment system is confusing and convoluted - 2 stars on that I'm afraid.

Good agency

Had a call from Otis last autumn about a possible job in a local EPC contractor. Interview, offer and acceptance were all handled efficiently within a week and the rate was good for this area.
I did find the wording of the G2 contract rather 'over the top' but my (numerous) comments were rapidly sorted to our mutual satisfaction. Despite the heavy wording in the contract I had no problems with payment, to the extent that G2 were very supportive when I had cashflow problems at the beginning of the job. I would definitely consider working for G2 again.

Great Working through G2

I am working through G2 Consultants (through executive consultant Pirmin Stehle) from Sep 2017 to till date in Germany. They were able to find suitable clients for my experience. In fact they placed me immediately to another client after the sudden closure of one project by a client in short notice. Their response, feedback and communication is very good, open and professional.I am having a very good experience in working with their clients also. I will definitely recommend them to my contacts.

The type of recruitment company you want on your side

The type of recruitment company you want on your side if you are a contractor. They don't hassle you all the time with irrelevant contracts (I'm a ruby on rails developer and you wouldn't believe how many times I've been contacted about railway contracts).

The whole process from initial interview all the way through to winning the contract and starting was totally smooth with support from G2 all the way.

I would definitely use these guys again without question and would recommend them to anyone.
