I applied for a vacancy with service…

I applied for a vacancy with service care solutions 10/23 in Newark on Trent. My representative was initially very responsive even though my onboarding was held up due to my references clearing. For the vacancy I was required to attend a 3 day PMVA training course in Leicester, which meant that I had to pay a significant cost towards travel. Months after completing training, my recruiter failed to get me any work with the original client, or any other client for that matter, despite me emailing and calling regularly. They also stopped replying to my emails asking about my progress. On top of this, when I asked for my training certificates, I was asked to pay £300 to cover the cost of training, despite the fact that I had already attended, paid travel expenses and received no work from service care. Over the 4 months that I have been with this company I have lost significant income and feel completely let down. Would not recommend.

Beth Kirby from Service Care Solutions…

Beth Kirby from Service Care Solutions has been absolutely fantastic supporting me as a candidate. She went above and beyond to help me be successful in the position I applied for. She worked overtime to make sure I was able to apply for a position before travelling overseas. She answered all my queries promptly, checked in with me at each step of the process and was extremely kind and lovely!

Don't go to Lewis O'Donnell

Having worked in agency recruitment, I'm aware of Lewis' type, calling you before he finishes in the hope he can submit some last minute candidate and hit his KPI's before signing off.
He done this with me and has since ghosts' every call when I am trying to chase him for feedback, and getting his other colleague Lewis or Mark to answer when dialled witheld.
Update: His manager/colleague Lewis called me to try and explain the way they work but said some contradictory things.
2nd Update after their reply: They did not submit my profile within 24 hours of "First contact" - I was told by the recruiter, Lewis O'Donnell, when he called me to try and justify his errors, that he submitted my profile on the Friday, whereas our "First contact" was on the Wednesday evening. Please do not use this agency as unfortunately I have come across many contradictions and now lies!!! Also when I spoke to Lewis O'Donnell's colleague also named Lewis, he promised me under GDPR, that my details would be deleted within 24 hours from their database, another lie as I have a text from Lewis O'Donnell saying "Removed from system as requested" at 15:48.

Hi Joel,

Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We take all feedback seriously and as such, we have investigated your concerns further.

I believe you were submitted for the role within 24 hours of first contact and an update was requested 1 working day after being submitted. The duration of retaining feedback on applications differs from client to client and we endeavour to keep candidates updated throughout the entirety of the application process.

We apologise that your call to your consultant was missed on this occasion, and we are sorry to hear that the application process has fallen below expectations. Both your consultant and his manager have contacted you to offer further clarification on the status of your application and attempted to resolve your concerns. We are sorry to hear they have been unsuccessful and your experience with Service Care Solutions has been negative.

As requested, I can confirm your details have now been removed from our database as 07/11/2023 – 17:10 pm and you will no longer be contacted moving forward. Thank you again for contacting us and we wish you success in finding a future role.

Kind Regards,
Service Care Solutions

Thank you Otis!

I recently had the pleasure of liaising with Otis at Service Care Solutions, who has been the best recruitment consultant I have ever worked with. He has worked hard to try and secure me a position and kept me updated at all times. He is professional, efficient, friendly, courteous, supportive and an absolute credit to the agency. I would not hesitate to recommend Service Care Solutions on the basis of this.

I recently spoke to the team at SCS

I recently spoke to the team at SCS, that i needed a new role urgently. Emma Petricco, called me within days to discuss a few roles. I would say, within 3weeks she had forward my CV and got me an interview, which i was successful. The process has been smooth

Hi

Service Care Solutions has been very good with me. They helped me secure my dream-job, and the service was exceptionally fast and accurate. They helped complete all compliance forms and the Service was a doddle.

I would highly recommend the Service Care Team at any time, if you are looking to continue or to pursue your career fast and in the Sector of your dreams.

Kind regards

Adrian

Brilliant Experience

Really happy with my interaction with Greg @ service care, contacted me with a job that was exactly what I was looking for and helped arrange all the interviews and meetings. Things went smoothly and couldn’t have asked for more support. Greg dealt with my application where very helpful and answered all my questions well and in plenty of time.
Greg also provided seamless support throughout the interview process, and relentless follow up on the updates. Brilliant and faultless experience, 5 stars isn't enough.

Responsive company.

I dealt with Greg who approached me having found my CV online. Throughout the process, Greg was helpful, informative, and respectful of my wishes and aspirations. Greg has also been responsive to my queries, and will remain my contact when I start the work. Recommended

I'd give 10 stars if it were possible

The level of professionalism displayed by Lewis was impressive, everything was explained clearly and concisely and all questions answered in great detail. One of the few agencies I can recommend with highest regards, earning a full 5 stars from me.
