Worked with KPI for just under a year.

Abbie Jones and Agnes Fung were great to work with, fantastic communicators who sorted any issues out promptly, responded quickly to questions and always went the extra mile.

Strongly recommend KPI as an agency, great and easy to work with.

Great Experience!

Absolutely fantastic! I can’t thank Keeley Callan enough for what she did for my sister and me: she was efficient, communicated well, and was very friendly. If you're looking for a new role, she's the person to speak to! Thank you again!

Very prompt recruitment process

I've had a great experience with KPI Education who helped me to land my role as a SEN teaching assistant - the whole recruitment process was very smooth and prompt. Special thanks to Miranda who has been very supportive throughout the process and always answers any queries promptly.

Fantastic!!

Fantastic!!
I genuinely can’t thank the team enough—they’ve gone above and beyond every step of the way. From the moment I saw Keeley’s post about an office job, everything moved so quickly and smoothly. Within just 10 days, I was registered and working a full week in my new role!
Esme was fantastic on the phone, making the process feel personal and reassuring. Meg has been incredibly helpful with managing my shifts and guiding me through the app. Their support has made such a difference.
I absolutely love my new job role, and it’s all thanks to the amazing work this team does. You should be so proud of the impact you’re making. Truly outstanding.

Do not recommend

At first, my experience with KPI Recruitment in Crewe was very positive. My first temporary job through them was excellent — the company I worked for even wanted to keep me on permanently, but it was simply too expensive to “buy me out” from KPI. My next role was also a good experience; the company appreciated my work and enjoyed having me there, but again, it was only a temporary position.

Unfortunately, my most recent placement with a company called Valentte was where things took a disappointing turn.

I was informed of feedback from Valentte suggesting that I had been unprofessional and had a poor attitude. This came as a complete shock to me, as throughout my time there, I had only received one complaint from a customer — which I believe was entirely false and based on a misrepresentation of what was said. I shared my side of the story with Ellie, my consultant, who was sympathetic and apologised for what had happened.

To make matters worse, on what turned out to be my last day at Valentte — though no one had informed me of this — I was asked to return my fob under the pretense that the company was changing the locks. This was clearly not true and felt like a dishonest way of letting me go. To add insult to injury, they later posted me back a small pencil case and notebook I had left behind — a petty and unnecessary gesture, especially coming from a company that labelled me unprofessional.

Ellie had promised to look for another placement for me and initially mentioned another job. But when I followed up, she seemed to have no idea what I was referring to. Since then, it’s been complete silence from the agency — it’s now been around three weeks without a single update or response.

I am extremely disappointed by how things have been handled and feel completely let down. What started as a promising relationship with KPI Recruitment has ended with poor communication, false promises, and a lack of professionalism from both the agency and the client they placed me with. Based on this experience, I will not be recommending KPI Recruitment to anyone.

I recently applied for a graduate…

I recently applied for a graduate Teaching Assistant position at KPI Educations and was contacted by a recruiter named Andrew Zahorodny. At first, Andrew seemed genuinely interested in my application and gave me a brief overview of the role, including details about the salary and the documents I needed to provide. Everything seemed legitimate at that point.

He then sent me a link to register on one of the company's websites, where I was asked to submit some personal information and sign a few documents. I completed the registration process as requested. However, after that point, communication abruptly stopped. I reached out to Andrew a couple of times via WhatsApp but received no response.

A couple of days later, I called the agency directly and asked to speak with Andrew. I was told he was out of the office and that he’d return my call the next day. It’s now been almost a week, and I haven’t heard anything back from him or the agency.

This sudden silence—especially after submitting personal information—feels suspicious. I'm now questioning the legitimacy of the agency and whether I may have unknowingly shared my information with a scam.

I've never left a review on anything but I felt the need to in this case as a warning for anyone who chooses to apply. I've seen quite a few reviews on here that seem to share the same sentiment that the agency may in fact be a scam.

Hi Diogo
Sorry you've felt the need to post this. Unfortunately, during July and August schools close down, recruitment stagnates and we have people on holiday, so please accept our apologies if communication hasn't been as good as it should have been. We can assure you that KPI is not a scam as our TrustPilot feedback will testify: over 1,000 positive reviews. Hopefully we'll be back in touch in September when the market picks back up again.

Lied about pay

I’m very disappointed with my experience dealing with this agency regarding my outstanding holiday pay. After I stopped working at the Evri site in Birmingham due to personal reasons, I reached out multiple times to request information about the holiday pay I was still owed — which was over £1,000.

Despite emailing and clearly explaining my situation, I was initially told by Charles that all of my holiday pay had already been paid — which was completely untrue. It was only after I challenged this and insisted they check again that Charles admitted I was still owed money and told me it would finally be paid.

This shows a clear lack of care and basic diligence in handling workers’ pay — something that should be a priority for any agency. If I hadn’t chased this up repeatedly and stood my ground, I may never have received what I was legally entitled to.

I would strongly advise anyone considering this agency to double-check their pay and holiday entitlement, as my experience has been stressful, frustrating, and a waste of my time.

AVOID

I was contacted by KPI recruitment shortly after I finished my Psychology degree. I was called by a woman named Casey who obviously couldn’t sing my praises loud enough (CV is excellent, experience is amazing for someone my age, my educational level is superb etc etc) yeah right lol🤣. They clearly prey on young people who are fresh out of university desperate for a job through these tactics and though I was wary of recruitment agencies, I didn’t have anything to lose. They are very quick to get you on board with signing documents, sharing personal info, providing proof of address, both passport & driving license for ID. At this point I was passed onto a woman called Georgia. After I had provided this, as they were both certain I would be able to AT LEAST get an interview for a job in a school, but likely a job, there was radio silence. I was the one who had to do the chasing (emailing both of them!) which is unfair, they assured me something would come up however I gave them the benefit of the doubt and waited until now (3 months after I was contacted) - I haven’t heard anything from Casey or Georgia since May! Since, I have had 4 interviews, 3 successful and starting a job in August. Be wary of recruiters and especially KPI, like I said, they take advantage of young university students who just want to start work. I am gravely disappointed in their tactics and lack of communication. AVOID.

Hi Keira

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we’re genuinely sorry to hear that your experience with KPI Education didn’t meet expectations.

We want to sincerely apologise for the lack of communication and frustration this caused you.

To provide some context, the area you were being supported in was part of a newly developed region within our graduate education division, being led by a new consultant still establishing partnerships and opportunities.

While this is not an excuse, it may help explain the delays and inconsistencies in the follow-up you received.

KPI Education is a graduate recruitment specialist, and we’re proud to work in long-standing partnerships with multiple schools across the UK, helping place hundreds of graduates directly from university into meaningful roles every year.

It’s our goal to nurture and launch the careers of graduates like yourself — and it’s disappointing to us when we fall short.

We’d be more than happy to speak with you directly if you’d like a fuller explanation, or if you'd be open to discussing any feedback that could help us improve.

Above all, we want to congratulate you on securing a new role starting in August — that’s a fantastic achievement and we genuinely wish you the very best as you begin this next chapter in your journey.

Good luck in your new job, Keira.

Best regards

KPI Education

Somethings are worth the wait…

From initial introduction with Esme my KPI journey was supportive and I didn’t lose hope that something was going to show up to suit my skills. Even though waiting a few months for the right opening, Esme kept in contact with me and put my cv forward for many roles in that time. I also had support from Meg during this time and both Esme and Meg were bright and bubbly over the telephone and super efficient. I am now placed in a family business in my new role and I can’t thank them enough as it’s working with such nice people. Have faith, and your next job will be just round the corner. I recommend KPI as they were the most supportive agency to me in my search and still are, thank you KPI, especially Esme and Meg for your friendly non judgmental kind approach.
