Monica is a first class head hunter and recruiter. Totally professional and focussed on delighting both candidates and clients. I can’t think of anyone better to represent me as a contractor or for a permanent role. Amanda in the back office also does a great job. Greywood Associates have been a pleasure to do business with. I highly recommend them.

I have had dealings with a large amount of recruitment consultancies. Some of them are pleasant, some of them can be pushy. None are as abhorrent and unprofessional as Greywoods Associates. After they arranged for me to attend a face to face interview with 2 days notice which was inconvenient for me, I decided I was no longer going to work with them, it was at this point they decided to act with an amount of malice which would make Beelzebub proud, not only did they inform my employer at the time that I was actively seeking work, they also told a prospective employer not to consider me as I am an “unreliable candidate”. I immediately rang the recruiter who I was dealing with at Greywoods, Monica, and asked her to remove me from her database. After hearing a rather aggressive diatribe from her about how I lost her a client, she reluctantly agreed to remove me from her database. I had hoped this would be the last I would hear from Greywoods; if it were, I may not have been quite so motivated to write this review. After continuous, refused attempts from Monica to reignite a relationship with me, I am now receiving phone calls from her colleagues at my new place of employment, telling the receptionist they were a friend of mine in order to guarantee they would get through to me. Andy I do not know you and given that you work in the seventh circle of hell, I do not want to know you. Ringing my office, whilst I am at work when I have been working with my current employer only a couple of months feels like nothing short of a violation. For those of you looking for work, I would deeply advise you do not let your details fall into the claws of Greywoods associates and if they do I hope they place you with a role, because if they don’t they will stalk you and attempt to ruin your life. Scum.

Without doubt the worst recruitment agency I have ever dealt with. I expect openness and trust from my business partners, neither of which I feel I got from my engagement with this organisation, who seemed keener to pressure me into making an offer and making their commission that genuinely wanting to place their candidates in a suitable long term role. Don’t be fooled by my 1 star rating – If I had the option for zero stars, I would have chosen that! FURTHER UPDATE…18 MONTHS ON… The fact that a director of this company was more interested in getting me to change my review, than in understanding my concerns, and when I refused has decided to review his own company with 5 Stars (and try and discredit me at the same time) just reinforces my view of this organisation!
