Nice

Addeco is a reputable staffing and recruitment agency that I have had the opportunity to work with. Overall, my experience with Addeco has been positive and I would recommend them to both job seekers and employers.One of the standout aspects of working with Addeco is their extensive network and access to a wide range of job opportunities. They have a strong presence in various industries, which allows them to connect candidates with relevant positions that match their skills and experience. Their team is knowledgeable and professional, providing guidance and support throughout the recruitment process.Addeco also demonstrates a commitment to understanding the needs of both job seekers and employers. They take the time to assess candidates' qualifications and career goals, ensuring a good fit for both parties. For employers, Addeco offers tailored staffing solutions and delivers candidates who meet their specific requirements.Another advantage of working with Addeco is their efficient and streamlined processes. From initial contact to placement, they prioritize open communication and responsiveness. Their online platform is user-friendly and facilitates easy access to job postings, application tracking, and updates on the recruitment progress.In terms of improvement areas, there have been instances where communication could have been more proactive, particularly during the follow-up stages. Additionally, while Addeco's reach is extensive, it may be beneficial for them to further expand their industry coverage to cater to a wider range of job seekers and employers.Overall, -

I wouldn't recommend

Have been contracting with Adecco for over a year now and if i could give a zero score i would. The worst agency I have had to deal with, incompetent, poor communicators, inflexible. Absolutely hopeless.

Disappointing experience

I was so excited to work as a recruitment consultant, but the cliquey environment, low basic salary and micromanagement made the experience a less pleasant one than I had hoped for.

Con desconfianza ya que algunos compañeros se prestan al juego con los supervisores para rpbar

Desgraciadamente corren a los técnicos si hacer una investigación profunda se nos culpa por lo quw hacen los supervisores en conjunto con gente a la que le pagan por robar yo sufrí acoso sexual y por parte de ramon coronel y no me hicieron caso al contrario le siguieron dando chance a el u a Tania de seguir robando hasta después los corrieron pero mientras la gente como yo nos quedamos sin trabajo u sin otra oportunidad para regresar a laborar con ellos.que mal.

Pros

It was a good time I had with them. They were professional when it comes to looking for good jobs. Rate of pay was better in some positions. Ready to solve your problems.

Pros

Ready to get you employed ASAP

Cons

They dont really have any power to question the employers.

Great role for someone looking to try something diffferent

Was able to explore a new company whilst having to opportunity to discuss permanent work contracts as the business you temp in. All off this while earning money. Wage could be a bit better, however it is decent for temp agency work.

Pros

Flexibility

Cons

sometimes difficult to get desired shift

Good

They always had plenty of work in various roles and they would always try to get work reasonably close to your area and your skill set. Alot of my friends also worked for this company I would recommend anyone to work for them.

Corporate Cowboy style

Not sure as a company overall, but the team I was at... it taught me basically how badly the team can run. They keep doing "Re-structure" and lay off 10 people easily, due to budgeting or for the improvements etc, all fail under, because they don't have any fundamentals, and they don't understand it. the thing is, they lay off people due to 're-structure' which they do every 3 months, but they do not even re-hire accordingly as the new structure presented, which looks like a primary school presentation with spell errors. it's a complete disgrace. Quite outdated company as well, not much of new technology is there at all.  they seem to cut people off whenever they want, on adhoc basis. there definitely was a bit of unconscious favouritism. they say re-structure but end up not actually "re-structuring" as people leave due to motivational issue, which is an after effect and is not rocket science to realise those things but they don't, therefore they are in the loop hole, bad cycle and its business model. No probational review, I passed by luck., it's just that people kept changing that no one knew what my role was, so I realised that my position was floating in the air. Everyone gossiping about each other, senior managers moaning that they want to quit in front of Jr members. it just made me very out of place, none of management had the actual 'team spirit', but acted as if they do, only in team emails. I've asked HR about this redundancy and even HR says "it's the nature of our industry'. Sickness not monitored etc. Quite a sad place to work, if you are motivated. I was hired - 

Pros

You can WFH and not actually work.

Cons

Not good if you are very motivated.

Productive, but not fun. Problems with holiday-money

You must be very attentive with this agency. They can propose you good, long-term job, payments will be payed in time and you will receive payslips weekly ( by post). But there will be problems with your holidays. You will never know the exact number of days and exact sum of money for your holidays. They will tell you approximately and you will have to believe. Often there will remain unused holiday money, which is not transferable for the next year. You will know nothing about that your money... I loved their proposed jobs at the "L'Occitane" warehouse in Beckton (though there could be days without job) and at the "Tate's and Lyle's Sugar Factory" in West Silvertown. Go, and you might like it, too!

Pros

Long-term job

Cons

Problems with holiday-money

Decent

It was a lot of paperwork for a one day job but once it's in the system I can do some jobs for them easily after. Staff were friendly, very easy, simple, felt a little like self employed even tho it wasn't.

Pros

Free lunch

Cons

Only odd occasion jobs
