Could not recommend enough!!

Job hunting can be a very daunting experience, however Hannah has been fantastic; really lovely and helpful to deal with. From the initial consultation, to setting up an interview, Hannah has kept me updated throughout the whole process whilst giving me very helpful tips on how to ace the interview..which worked! If you are looking for a new adventure, I would absolutely recommend Busy Bee Recruitment and Hannah in particular :)

I recently worked with Busy Bee…

I recently worked with Busy Bee Recruitment and was genuinely impressed by their professional and friendly team. Whether it was Ryan's dedication to helping with my CV, Fausta's efficient communication, or Maya's positivity and sound advice, the service was consistently excellent. They truly make the recruitment process smooth and supportive. Highly recommend them—4 stars!

Given up

I give up with these guys and will be surprised if they took me off their system after todays call

Been waiting for probably over a year waiting for them and nothing yet had to reregister and it’s just another let down with the agency

Can’t deal with people who don’t listen

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for your review.

Unfortunately when you hung up the phone to me today i was unable to finish the advice i was trying to provide.

As i confirmed we do not cover the geographical area you live in and due to a lack of transport i advised we may not be the right agency to support you.

You mentioned that you have the money to buy a car to make jobs more accessible however your not willing to purchase one, making your job search more difficult due to not having any transport options.

I gave you the details of 3 companies that we work with close to you, all of which were not suitable.

I am sorry but i feel your review is a little unfair based on my advice that due to your geographical area and lack of transport we cant help you, both of these are beyond our control.

I did advise i could reach out to other companies close to you on your behalf and i also suggested other agencies in your area that might be able to help, shortly after you cut me off and failed to answer the calls when i called you back.

I am satisfied i have tried to help you Andrew and am sorry that you feel dissatisfied with my efforts.

It appears from your review history that you enjoy providing negative reviews on businesses.

Great Experience

I would highly recommend working with Busy Bee. Kayleigh was so welcoming and put me at ease straight away. She listened to what I was looking for and gave me some excellent advice, as well as helping with re-writing my cv. She understood what I was looking for, and just as important what I wasn't looking for. The role I was put forward for was perfect for me and thanks to some negotiating by Fausta I secured the role.

Helpful, kind and efficient

After being made redundant I contacted Kayleigh and explained my situation, although we had known of eachother as I worked in recruitment for many years and was a competitor, Kayleigh took a blind eye to this and immediately helped me find a job. Both Kayleigh and Fausta have gone above and beyond to help me secure my next job of which I'm over the moon with. The whole process was really quick, communication was excellent and they knew how scared I was of loosing my house etc both ladies showed empathy and cared so greatly reminding me how they will help me as much as possible. I honestly can't thank both Kayleigh and Fausta enough for their help. Highly recommend these ladies!

One of the best services I have received by a recruitment agency

Hannah and Sian were absolutely amazing from start to finish. Hannah made sure she was fully involved and invested in finding me employment. Constantly calling and emailing to have a chat, provide updates, discuss new jobs. A really good recruitment agency! I recommend

Awesome Recruitment Team

I applied for a post through Indeed and was contacted almost immediately by Fausta. Following a brief chat about my experience and expectations, Fausta put me forward for a role that would she felt I would be suited to. This was on the Wednesday. The following Tuesday, I attended an interview and was offered the full time role by the end of the day. Throughout by short involvement, Fausta was efficient, friendly, direct and approachable. I would highly recommend Fausta and the team at Busy Bee Recruitment. They helped me secure what I hope will be a fulfilling role where I can further develop and thrive

Professional, helpful and quick

Jake was incredibly helpful in ensuring all documentation was dealt with quickly and gave me plenty of advice and description of where I would be working. Helped to facilitate an earlier start to my employment as I needed it. I was sympathetic and understanding when I was unable to work and handed in my notice, a trait missing in other companies.

Busy bee also offered the opportunity to take the day of work for the euros final which was great
