Highly recommend

Professional staff and quick turnaround on placements without compromising on the quality of their service. Would highly recommend. Rachael and the FM team have placed a handful of roles with us over the last couple of months and we wont hesitate to work with them again when we require more staff.

It's all in the name; Mainstay by name, mainstay by nature.

I've been a CE driver for a year and in that time via the service they provide Mainstay has kept me in constant employment. As a company I've found them to be both reliable and professional but above all friendly and approachable. Any issues or queries have been settled or answered within a working week and I've never not been paid by the end of the week for hours worked. They show they care by taking into consideration things like how far you have to commute and make you feel valued by checking in after your first shift at a new company.

I can't recommend and thank the team that has always dealt with me enough; Will, Tim, Tommy, Ciaran/kieran, and Courtney. Guys, you're awesome.

Absolutely brilliant agency to work…

Absolutely brilliant agency to work with. Brilliant team very responsive and always available if needed. Really competitive rates also.

I did have a few issues with my payslip missing hours once or twice but it was resolved straight away without any issues nor affecting my pay so I literally cannot fault the team for that.

I would like to especially mention Courtney. Absolute pleasure to work alongside, she goes out her way to help you with any issues you may have.

I will definitely work for this agency again if I ever move back to Birmingham.
