In contact multiple times then dropped completely. Please don't bother with using their services. They will gain your details, your cv, lead you on and then drop contact with you. No follow up, no feedback, no point.

The Best Connection, Hull Branch

Best Connection are outstanding at sourcing temporary support for my work force. As a Logistics Manager they are my first call for support, and after 4 months of working with them, they haven't let me down. The communication, both via phone and email is second to none. Well done Best Connection, and I look forward to continue to work with you. Many thanks

Can not recommended, Really poor at communicating …

My wife wrote an email to the Northampton branch twice asking about finding work, but she got no reply whatsoever, not even an acknowledgement of her request, absolutely appalling behaviour, cannot recommend at all.

Best Connection, Walsall Branch

We have dealt with Best Connection (Walsall Branch) for many years now. During 2024 we used their drivers often. They were always punctual and enthusiastic.
We had very few issues and if there were, they were sorted out quickly and professionally.
We continue to use their services in 2025.

Excellent Agency

Just an update for Best Connections.
I have been with Best Connections for the last 6 months, and have to say that I cannot fault them in any way.
Grace and all the team are excellent at what they do.
They keep you up to date on work, reply to any problems very quickly.
Keep up Grace and all the team. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Best Connection Best Agency…

Best Connection are an excellent recruitment agency with special thanks to Dawn who worked very hard in finding work for me very promptly.
Dawn has also continued to support me ongoingly through my job too which has been very helpful and reassuring.
Chloe has also given help on hand whenever I've needed it too.
I have nothing but praise for the Abingdon branch.

Dawn and Chloe really helped greatly. They were very easy to reach and communicate with. They found me an amazing job which I loved, unfortunately got made redundant but the agency had no say in that. They still contact me with potential job opportunities. Would recommend!
