Crone Corkhill Recruitment

A review written by Gorrit in 2001 suggests at the end that Crone Corkhill are not as good as they once were. I'm afraid to say that I think this is the case. I arrived in London in April last year and sent out my resume to lots of different agencies, applied for jobs on line anything to get a start in work. The first agency to respond to me was Crone Corkhill, the Hammersmith Office. So I went along and signed up and met my agent to be, Clair, who was lovely and pointed me in the direction of a few other things I would need to set myself up with in London, such as she wrote me a letter so I ... more

Crone Corkhill are a quality recruitment and temping agency in the West End and City areas of London. They mainly deal with secretarial and office admin positions for blue chip companies, consultancies and other employers who demand high standards. I first approached the company early in 1999 for temporary/part-time positions, having recently temped in the not-for-profit sector. Crone were very courtious and invited me to an interview. The interview was straight-forward, and as I was looking for admin work, I did the usual word-processing tests. To my surprise, at the end of the interview I ... more

I have visited Crone Corkill on a number of occassions, they have a few offices in London (City & West End) and have a searchable website at www.cronecorkill.co.uk They are a very professional outfit who offer top class temporary and permanent jobs in high brow companys, mainly in banking and legal. In the past 5 years, they have found me 2 high calibre jobs at very reputable companies. As a temp, I also found that their pay scale was higher than most agencies and that payment was always very prompt. I would definitely use them again. ... more

When I decided I needed to move on at work, I did all the usual things; spoke to agencies, asked around, checked out advertisements in the press and online, and of couse, contacted companies directly. I worked very hard at finding the right role and Crone Corkill were the only ones who really came through. I registered with a few agencies of varying sizes, but most forgot about me within a few weeks. Admittedly, I was after quite a high ranking role, but as the agency proved, the right role was out there for me! Most agencies you have to speak to at least once a week to keep you in the front ... more

I have used them since 1999 without a hitch, and recently went in to update my details, re-register. Firstly they treated me as though I had never been there before and got me to fill in the mountain of paperwork, of which no other agents have as much. They then went on to test every aspect of my skill-set. I felt really disappointed - they had placed me many times in full time work, the last of which was 4 years. But I still had to do the typing tests! I still had to prove myself. When I got to see Faye Tracey the appointed agent dealing with my profession, she ran through my cv asking me ... more

I went there 2 days ago and i really regret wasting my time with them. Receptionist very rude, were talking about personal stuff and completely ignored me. After completing endless paperwork, tests etc I had to wait for the consultant called Kelly (80 Cannon Street branch), the first thing that she said that she needs to have references for each of my jobs for the last 5 years and I have to give their work email address, unfortunately some of my ex colleagues left, had babies, retired but no she said I have to call all of my last places of employment, find out who works there and get their ... more

I went to Crone and Corkill in Picadilly Circus about 3 weeks ago, and like previous comments they were very quick to get in contact and seemed professional on the phone and via email. However when I arrived there it was a different story! I was told my meeting time over the phone and I arrived 15mins early. When I arrived, not only were the receptionists really unprofessional (chatting to themselves instead of asking me if I needed ay help) they were also very unhelpful and made me feel extremely uncomfortable when seeking my appointment - they had no records of a meeting and there was no ... more
