I wish there was a no star button. I had a very bad experience with them. The staff are rude and unhelpful, they take ages to find you work and when they do you soon question why the last person... more

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not marvelous pay

    I temped for only 3 months, attempted with Adecco and also Select Agencies, so don't have much experience to draw on. I can can also report on them from the employers side of things as well. Me as a temp Walked out of a permanent job extremely harrassed and thought sod the consequences can't stick it any longer. I think most of us have been there before. I thought of temping to tide me over on someone's recommendation didn't know who was best so walked past Adecco (was Alfred Marks when I temped for them) made appt to register to do the numerous tests etc. I wanted a permanent job, but they ... more

    Advantages Advantages Great for long term temp work

    Disadvantages Disadvantages They don't like students!

    Ok, I'm not saying all Adecco offices are this bad, I'm sure most are really great and helpful, but the one I went to this summer to try and find work over the university summer holiday was rubbish! I thought, hmm, Adecco, they're a top name in recruitment, I bet they could help me find work. How wrong I was. I first registered online with Adecco in late May, ages before the end of term, so that I would be ahead of the student job-hunting rush. A friendly woman called me back a few days later, asked me what sort of work I was after, and when I was available. As soon as I said "I'm available ... more

    Advantages Advantages Work for many

    First of all, if you have come into this site you will think mmm odd title, it has got nothing to do with us, but it has and if you read on and read through this op, you will see as a community how you made me take a long look at myself and re evaluate things. Thanks again, karen :0) Adecco.co.uk is the internet based web site for Adecco. It used to be called Alfred Marks. I do not know how I first came by Ciao, maybe it was another search engine and I just slowly or actually very quickly became interested in the site, ok at first Lets be honest I made a balls up of my postings and this is ... more

    Advantages Advantages Fast turnaround, helpful and efficient.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Once you're in, don't expect much help.

    My experiences with this agency, who I have worked for over the last ten months, have been widely variable. I went to them looking for temporary work, I was aware that my time living in Cardiff was likely to be short and I didn't want to take a permanent job. Adecco was one of a half dozen agencies I went to. They were the first to call me in for evaluation, and they were efficient and helpful. That same afternoon they called about a placement, which I took. Not a terrible job with a fair pay for what it was. I was there for a while, and when it came to Christmas, despite the fact that I don't ... more

    Hi, I just saw that here are already several opinions on the temporary job agency addeco. However, I was gaining some experiences with them within the last month and would like you to read my opinion and experiences. When I started looking for a temporary job I just went into the centre of Lougborough with my CV in my pocket to look out for agencies. The first one I saw was Addecco. My first impression was quite good. There was a nice woman sitting in there, asking me to fill in a questionnaire, asking me, what kind of work I was looking for (administration, clerical assistance) and took all ... more
