Great support and handling from the team

They are very good with support, processing speeds and handling your application. With what I signed up for there was plenty of material to read up on and my application was handled rather quickly, making it seem seamless

apply now button doesn't work

For many of the apprenticeships whenever i click "apply now" or "complete application" it doesn't do anything. For some of the external applications it works but most of the onsite applications doesn't. I tried it with Brave and microsoft edge on my laptop and chrome on my phone yet the same thing happens.

Fantastic Company

Having worked alongside GMFJ for 2 years I can honestly say they are at the top of their field. Aiding in the recruitment of over 30 apprentices every step of the way was handled in an extremely professional manor. Working alongside Claire was both a pleasure and an honor. She embodies everything GMFJ is about and anyone who gets the opportunity to work alongside her is very lucky.

I felt my time was as important

it was an amazing experience. If you value your time and the amount of energy you spend on the application process, this is the company to work with. Your time is valued so much so you will finish the hiring process in the time frame of weeks. The support communication you get through all the stage of application is also one of a kind. Great team!!

Tremendous support

Tremendous support from David and Mollie, their dedication to help you succeed is amazing, and yes we did succeed. I say ‘we’ as they have helped my son with additional needs find employment. It is a scary world out there and we did not know where to start searching for jobs. We came away from our first meeting much more positive and optimistic. Their knowledge and experience is amazing and their positivity flows over to you and gives you the confidence to think “yes we can do this”.

They helped with the CV, with job searches and interview preparation - all invaluable to us and we believe their support and advice helped us succeed.
 
Speaking as a parent, those first steps were daunting and they made that scary road much easier to follow and understand. 

We cannot thank them enough. We would definitely recommend.

I recently started receiving spam texts from this company. I have never heard of them. I have never given them my contact information or consent for any other company’s or organisations to share my personal data with anyone else and infact joined to a lift that prohibits my number from being used for these purposes.

Please note that when I attempted to contact GMFJ to complain about this data breach and get the details for the company that illegally stole , sold or shared my personal data information there was no contact number or email address associated with the company and the online contact form is faulty not allowing the request to be submitted.

I am currently researching who to contact to resolve this issue and will be contacting the ombudsman and data protection services should I be unable to access their complaints process.

Job Application Success w. Ryan

I worked was Ryan to secure my dream job at Schneider Electric in London, UK. I owe him SO much.

He couldn't have been more helpful, going above and beyond. He phoned me to let me know when the offer changed and provided me with invaluable feedback after the first round interview.

I first applied for the job (a graduate scheme position) in December. I heard back from them to say that I had a video interview in February. I then got rejected from my original position, but Ryan informed me of a different one that I was through to the application centre for in March. Early April, they got back to tell that after all the application drama, I had another interview for the original position.

I was finally successful in this and have now started my new job.

Sorry that it took me so long to provide feedback. MANY thanks Ryan.

Let's hope, and I mean this in the best way, that I never use them again! But, if I had to, I would be lucky to have Ryan help me again.

They were so helpful

I was interviewed by Clare, she was extremely helpful and informative to ensure i had all the information i needed to know to help me with an in person interview. She was very easy to talk to and make me feel comfortable while clearly explaining what is required and what will happen next.
