The initial contact with the SEC recruiter was difficult and rude. She claimed having read my profile, but had no idea of it and asked me to describe my whole working experience. She sent me an email... See more

I had a great experiencing securing my first contract position through SEC recruitment. Juber was very supportive during my interview process and he helped to arrange the interviews and communicated feedback in fast and efficient manner. Iris was very helpful in managing contracts/documentation and answering any related questions.

Recruiting how it should be done - helpful and friendly, not pushy.

Extremely friendly, helpful, and honest (not something I had realised would be an issue with recruiters but with my experience with some others, it is!). They found a role that was the right fit for me (again, with some others, you can feel like a square peg being forced into a round hole as they are just directing you to a role they happen to have available).

A single point of contact for me to deal with (thanks Emma!), great communication throughout the process and always easy to get hold of. I'd definitely recommend them to others.

Excellent contact

My contact at Sec Recuitement was a nice and enthusiastic man. He was always available either by phone or by e-mail. He has given me advices and trust. Without his contact, I could not change my career!

SEC Recruitment

SEC Recruitment, is by far the best Company I have dealt with since starting to contract several years ago. Their Admin is spot on. Thier Finance Team has Never made late payment. Fast and Efficient. Also the Agent I deal with, Nitin, Is top Class. Knows the industry wherein he works and has regular calls to see how we are doing... Recommended to any and all.

Best recruiting experience of my career

SEC staff are professional and attentive. My recruiter follows up with me regularly to see how things are going. The payment cycle is fast and accurate. This was my first project through SEC but I would work with them again in a minute, and would recommend SEC to all other independent consultants. Jane Anderson, Toronto Canada

Lack of information and last moment requests!

I wasn't informed by SEC that I should prepare a presentation for my meeting with the clients!! I felt really unprepared and it was unprofessional! I received request for my background check at the last moment!! One day before starting my role! And now, 3 months after starting my role, SEC is asking me to do a background check again ???!!!
