Interviewer No-Show

Edit: Consultant from the company did reach out in response to this review and offered an explaination on the technical issue that likely led to this. Obviously I would have liked to have a response to the emails and calls, but I do appreciate the amount of applications they recieve. I will certainly consider them in the future, though I would be extra wary of trusting a meeting without emailing/calling to confirm it.

I applied for a job, got a very prompt response and invitation to a "discovery conversation" which I took to be an initial interview. I followed the link, set up an interview, and got a confirmation email with the date and time. The "location" on the event was my phone number, and I wasn't given one to call so I, understandably, assumed I would be receiving a call. The meeting time comes around and no one calls me or emails letting me know there has been a delay.
I sent an email, called the number at the bottom of an earlier email, and even called the number on YourPrime's website. I was told the consultant was busy and they would let him know I called. I did not get a reply that day and, when I called the office again the next day trying to reschedule, I was again just told they would tell the consultant I called and they would make sure he called or emailed.
I never got a follow-up call or email (despite being told I would). It was highly unprofessional. The meeting was the day after the job was posted and, if they filled it that fast, I should have at least gotten an email letting me know that it wasn’t happening. As it stands, despite reaching out over several avenues I never even got the courtesy of being told the position was no longer available or an apology for being a no-show. Overall, demoralizing and a waste of time, I am avoiding job postings from this company in the future.

Oli was great…

Oli was very thorough and communicated well throughout the process. He knew the role and his client well, and was able to provide some good pointers and background for the interview process.

I would recommend working with Oli.

Oli was thorough in the initial process of identifying my skill set and approaching me subsequently with a suitable. He provided specific details and prepared me as much as possible before my interviews. He also provided good feedback from the company and kept in constant communication about the progress throughout the interview stage.

Highly recommend.

Hannah is the most professional recruiter I have had the pleasure in dealing with. A consummate professional who get's to know a candidate on a personal level, to ensure the best fit for a role.

Constant feedback and communication, made my experience with this company, and Hannah, extremely trusting. I have no doubt in her abilities and as an employer, I would entrust her to find the absolute best! As a candidate, I'm sure she will find me the most perfect position.

Professional and knowledgeable

I was head hunted by YourPrime Recruitment and they presented a number of excellent opportunities to me that I would not have found otherwise as it is quite a niche market.

They were able to understand my experience and skill set and put me in front of several of the their clients where I had some very positive and constructive conversations.

They put in a lot of effort in terms of interview prep and providing background knowledge of the companies prior to my interviews with them, including good feedback after the interviews.

The recruiter was enthusiastic, friendly and easy to talk to.

I did receive an offer from one of their clients.

Very highly recommended.

Experience with YPR - Oliver

Oliver did a fantastic job in head-hunting me, he was able to match my CV to my new role perfectly and utilise his relationship to give me the best chance of success. Oliver has been outstanding and exceptionally professional throughout the whole process, regularly providing me with updates and preparation sessions with advice. I highly recommend Oliver to anyone that is looking for a new position. Thank you for all your support along the way.

Would not recommend!!

I applied for a job through YourPrime Recruitment. Initially, the recruiter was responsive and set up an initial interview for later that week with their client.
Following positive feedback from the client, a second interview was set up, 40 miles from my location (this was a remote role but I was happy to travel for the interview).
Since the second stage interview I have had to chase for feedback continuously. I appreciate that sometimes the client can be difficult to get hold of but it is now five weeks since my second stage, face to face interview.
In summary, they were attentive when they thought I could make them money but unreachable afterwards.

Edit after reply: I have checked and it is the right company. Recruiter was Oliver Roberts.

Reply from YourPrime Recruitment

Hi - I have checked with our Team and we do not believe that you have been working with YourPrime Recruitment - we have not had any candidate at a F2F 2nd interview, where they have had to travel over the past 5 weeks.

Would you mind checking that we are the right company that you have been working with www.yourprimerecruitment.com

Made a stressful time much easier

Hannah Woods from YP reached out to me after I posted on LinkedIn that I was looking for a new role. This was an extremely stressful and uncertain time for me, but Hannah got me in an interview within the space of a few days, gave me all the information I needed to prepare for the interview, and ultimately found me the exact role I was looking for, with a fantastic company. Can't rate her or this recruitment company high enough. Really helped me out. Thank-you!

Exceptional service from Michael and YourPrime

It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Michael, who has helped me secure my next exciting career opportunity.

Exceptionally professional, personable, supportive and knowledgeable, Michael kept in regular contact, providing updates and guided me through each step of the process. Always on hand whenever I needed advice, support or (my many) questions answered!

The service he provides is exceptional, and stands out way above anything I had previously experienced.

I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for their next exciting role, in fact they would be lucky to have him on their team.

Thank you Michael, I really appreciate all your support.

Great Company, great staff

I highly recommend this company and if the other recruiters are even half as good as Oli then you will be in really good hands. Each step, each meeting, each interview was prepared for and talked about before hand and I always felt prepared and looked after.

Had an exceptionally thorough and professional journey with Hannah - she was attentive without being pushy and was able to guide me through a process that I had not been in for some years.
Communication was friendly and knowledgeable.

Would highly recommend - Especially Michael Barrell

I was headhunted by Michael for a role. From the beginning he was factual, informative, straight to the point and never wasted my time. Once he was given the go ahead from myself that was it, i was constantly kept updated, only ever contacted with new information, always professional, felt I was his number 1 priority, always had time to talk things over and all in all a very professional gentleman and credit to YourPrimeRecruitment. If you want a recruiter who is fast acting and gets the job done then this is who you need. I will and have already recommended these services.

Great organisation with great staff

Michael is an excellent and consistently professional recruiter. The most impressive factor to working with him is the fact he seems to genuinely have both the applicants and the employers best interest at heart and is only interested in finding the perfect fit for both parties. He’s always willing to go above and beyond and it always feels like no request is too taxing.

As well as this he’s just a lovely guy and an absolute pleasure to work with!

If you’re considering using Michael as a recruiter or if he approaches you, consider yourself lucky as he’s an excellent practitioner and a great professional!

Fantastic Service and Great Experience

Hannah at YourPrime Recruitment was absolutely fantastic in helping me land my new role, from start to finish she was really attentive and listened my needs, from arranging the interviews right through to job offer it was faultless. Communication was always there and Hannah was always on hand to help with my queries. I would strongly recommend YourPrime Recruitment to friends and family.

Fantastic recruitment experience

I have had many dealings with recruitment agencies over the last 20+ years. However Your Prime Recruitment were second to none.

They really seem to know their clients well, which helped me when applying for a position.

They helped prep me for each step of the interview process and made sure I was kept up todate at each stage.

Many agencies miss the point that they really have two clients, the employer AND the employee.

Working with Ben has helped me secure my new role with a very large multi National company and I couldn't be happier with the package.

I was contacted by Ben Bray in reference to a position he thought matched my CV. We then spoke a while about the company, role and my experience in previous roles which in turn agreed that the position would be a good match. Ben was very professional at all aspects communication was a great strength of Ben's, he made me feel comfortable and kept me in the loop all the way. He always gave me open honest advice which was greatly appreciated. I am delighted to say I was successful in securing the position and look forward to starting later this month. Ben is a real credit and wish him all the luck with his future especially now with a new family addition which is on the way.
