g2 Recruitment Reviews 241

0 stars if it was an option. I have been in contact with this company for 3 months now. I have been called by at least 20 different people in this company. (Some of which sounded like they were hungover or still drunk from a night out). They all have asked me the same set of lengthy questions every time clearly from a script. It is exhausting.
They also send out emails saying that you are a great match for a role and when you reply with your CV and say that you are interested, they ghost you and then say the position has now been filled. They have never put me forward for any interviews or jobs even though they keep telling me my skills/ my experience are niche and are in high demand. To top it off at the end of the conversation, they then will ask you if you know anyone else that is looking for work ( pretty annoying when you are the one who is unemployed and trying to find work). They are just gathering information, not actually trying to help you find a job. Don’t bother!

incredibly annoying company. Once they have your contact details, they don't stop calling, emailing etc.. On all channels. High score is currently 6 calls in a row. Even if they are blocked everywhere, they try anonymous calls, try to be put through via the operator, etc. Requests to stop doing this are ignored. It's a nasty pusher crew. Because of the way they do business, this dubious company will never get any orders.

Once they got your email they'll spam you for life. Requests to remove your contact details will be ignored. Good that my mail server has good spam filters. Added there domain to the black list

I am freelancer since 1996 and had many opportunities by many recruiting companies. Most of them worked for me, somehow. Some of them did not and it was painful.
G2 is exactly what I call a professional agency! Everything worked out fine for me, process, payment, absolutely marvelous communication and contact (thanks Mo‘ for the good talk we had and the 100% satisfying service), good team.
I would reach out to G2 any time again!
Recommendation!

I had the most terrible experience in my 25 years working in IT. I was fired without any comprehensive reason after 4 days from starting the project with client Illumina Belgium.

Constantly employees of this company bother me with inquiries about open positions. How they get the companies phone number is unclear. They always say they were directed from the switchboard we don't have. This company is one big scam!

Mr. Lewiss Pettitt was very professional and helpful

Useless and unprofessional. They bombard you with irrelevant jobs, most of which seem made up with extremely vague terms and no responses upon enquiry. The branches don't communicate with each other, nobody seems to have learnt the art of taking notes after a call, and most of all they are rude! The recruiters have no industry expertise and become rude very quickly when challenged in any way. They ask the same introductory questions (what do you do, what rate are you on, what job do you want) whenever they call, which is every couple of days, sometimes after 7pm or on a Sunday!

Half the emails I get from G2 have massive spelling and grammar issues - these are the people you are supposed to be trusting to review your CV and market you to clients... I would honestly rather be unemployed than ever deal with G2 again. In my experience speaking to clients who deal with them, the same seems to be the case on their side.

I have always been of the opinion that it is worth registering with as many agencies as possible, in order to gain the widest possible market view. G2 is the exception. Don't bother, don't contact them, don't accept their linkedin requests and don't trust them with your data.

There are dozens of other agencies out there. There is never a reason to go with G2. If you get offered an actual job from them, get the details and go to their competitors for it instead. Charlatans in cheap shiny suits.

They won't pay you.
When you give notice and work say two weeks on notice you won't get paid. I was expecting payment for one of the weeks I worked while on notice and have not been paid. If you need to work with this G2 best to not give notice, make an excuse to say you are sick so they pay you because all you have is the ability to withdraw your labour but, if they know you are leaving they won't pay you.
I have email evidence that notice was given, followed by a weeks worked period of which 1 week pay and a day not been paid.

Ryan Treadwell found me a Discipline Engineer Static who fits the organization and team like a glove. Lucky? Maybe, but we had been searching for multiple months through multiple agents without result. Communication with G2 is swift and effective and Ryan understands your needs very accurate and clearly. For this service and assistance, I definitely recommend G2 & Ryan Treadwell in specific.

I have been working for G2 as a freelancer for 5 months now. Have good experience. Communication is good, rates are negotiable, open and honest. Payments are on time. As for insurance that should be self-employed, they are really sensitive but I assume that every self-employed person should be well covered. And finally I have to say that I have very good communication with Ryan Treadwel . Recruiter that I can recommend .

Avoid using g2 recruitment. They are rude, ignorant and unprofessional. After enquiring about a role they had advertised they ignored it. After several attempts to contact them they either do not answer or when they do they won't pass you to the person supposedly dealing with the opening. After a final push, they wouldn't let me talk to anyone but instead said the position had been filled and I was too late. I certainly wasn't too late as I had enquiried well ahead of time. It appears the advertised position wasn't theirs to do so and they chance their luck with positions that they do not have the rights to.
I am reporting them and hopefully this will be taken further. Employers, I often see in your adverts you specify not to be contacted unless by your approved and authorised recruitment agency, be sure to not use g2. Employees, please don't drop your personal data including CV to this outfit, you don't know what they are doing with it.

Top marks for finding the job, but after that minus points awarded. Should you want a company that takes roughly 50% off your wages, then go for it, but if you want a fair deal just say no. The worst run company I have ever come across. Can't explain where the money go's and then point the finger at everyone but themselves. A joke.
Fingers in your wallet all the way but you should be thankfull and never complain as they don't make mistakes, apart from the ones you can highlight to them.
Not a force for good but a parasitic entity that will leave you poor with an unhealthy taste in your mouth if you choose to swallow their crap.
Get it confirmed in writing prior to your start, they will bleed you dry and not explain where your hard earned cash dissappears to.
Don't sign up, a recruitment company that offers nothing but continuous poverty. Contact other agencies that can get you employment without an umbrella company, which hmrc doesn't approve of, these umbrella companies should be illegal. They most certainly aren't there to serve you.

Answer to reply: So you are aware that the company you use for payroll charge exuberant rates, yet still use them? No care for your employee's, as long as g2 gets their share.

I have contacted 3 other agencies that have stated I would be taking home between 120 - 150 pounds more per week than g2 currently pay.

Look elsewhere to find employment g2 is not the answer.

I was dealing with Rachael Atherton and found her incredibly rude, unprofessional and intrusive at time. I wasn't responding due to personal circumstances and was chased daily by phone, text and email.

After I had asked to stop contacting me due to this I received no apology for this or confirmation they would stop and remove me from their records.

Out of professional courtesy I could never recommend her.

Data Harvesting...

The company's modus operandi is to advertise fake jobs in order to harvest candidates resumes and broker the candidates data to third parties.

The company operates under the guise of a recruitment agency to infiltrate unsuspecting job site platforms to gather intel, post fake jobs and spam registered job site candidates with fake jobs.

Spammers. No connection to them. Received spam.

Had a call today from Ciaran Wadd at “G2” (as if I was even supposed to know what that meant) knew straight away something wasn’t kosher; he sounded unprofessional and blatantly lied stating he’d read my CV online considering my CV is not available online. I requested an email, without providing my email, so they had that information also. When I queried where they had obtained my data from, Ciaran stated it was from “job boards” (again, as if I was supposed to know what that meant) but wouldn’t provide exactly where or make reference to how they obtained my data which is my right to know so under the DPA. He pushed for another call, even though I had quite clearly rattled their cage. He sounds relentless and the reviews here support my initial call concerns. Sounds like a scam. Block their number. Avoid.

This company is very unprofessional. They contact me and then don't reply. I suspect that they only collect and sell data.

I am not a software developer, and I have zero experience with C++, yet these people have been pestering me with C++ Software Developer jobs for two years.

Very unprofessional.

Thanks to Martin and his great service, I was able to find the job I was looking for. The professionalism and dedication of him made it all possible. I highly recommend working with him for your next projects.
