Trustworthy and honest
Steel Fixer (Current Employee) - London Bridge Station - 26 August 2016
CUK offered me a Steel Fixers job and told me it was for a minimum of 2 weeks but could be more. I had heard this plenty of times from agencies where the work finishes after a week! But this time the work lasted for 6 weeks, and then CUK moved me on to another job. Very pleased.
Pros
Honest and always ready to help.

A company with strong values
Management Accountant (Current Employee) - Thame - 4 August 2016
I have been with CarmichaelUK for over 10 years and have enjoyed my time here. I think part of the reason that I have stayed so long is that the company does care about its employees and always has an honest approach.
During my employment I have had the chance to progress in my career and have been supported through out. There is a good mix of staff, which makes an excellent working environment. The working day is busy but there is always support from the management team.
Within my time at CarmichaelUK the company has grown considerably but has always maintained its core values of honesty, integrity and professionalism.

Proud Employee
Operations Manager (Current Employee) - London - 29 July 2016
Initially as a freelance engineer, the project opportunities and honest career advice from the CarmichaelUK team set them apart from all other civil engineering recruitment agencies. This lead me into a recruitment role within the business, and I have not looked back since.
The core values of Honesty, Integrity and Professionalism are evident throughout all parts of the business; from payroll and finance, through to the recruitment team. This makes me proud to be part of CarmichaelUK.
A forward thinking company, the directors constantly invest in their staff and systems, with consistent training and upskilling at all levels across the business. Career progression and aspirations are tracked, and there is excellent staff recognition and benefit scheme.
Pros
Family-run business, Employee Benefit Scheme, Hard work and loyalty rewarded.

Great place to work
Being a smaller company there is a great team environment that you don't find in bigger companies which is great.
Everyone is approachable and does their best to help you whenever you ask for assistance.
The work is interesting, challenging and every day is different which I like because it provides the variety that I think is important for all jobs.
Really enjoying it.

A very reliable company for finding work
Carmichael have often found me very good projects with short notice. When I moved to the UK, they helped me to get all the things done to be working within a week. They are in regular contact with me to ensure that I am happy on projects. I would recommend them to any engineer/surveyor arriving in the country for the first time. They help to make a smooth transition and are supportive.
Pros
Access to Tier 1 contractors/projects

Simple and effective......
Senior Construction Planner (Current Employee) - London and South East England - 28 July 2016
I was requested to use the services of an Employment Agency by my current Client, as I am self employed. I chose Carmichael as I new several colleagues who also used them. The transition was far simpler than I had imagined and my Account Manager is always on hand to answer any query I have. And I have my invoices paid weekly, bonus!!
Pros
Weekly account credits
Cons
More paperwork

Helpful staff, inclusive workplace,
Site engineer (Current Employee) - North Greenwich, London - 26 July 2016
My recruiter has been good with her consistent check ups of how I am progressing on site and how my role is going - checking whether I enjoy the role and that it meets my expectations.
In setting up my account with Carmichaels, I had constant support in obtaining the correct documents which I found daunting being my first contracting role.
I have had some contact with other carmichaels employers and they have been forthcoming with their experiences and learnings.
Pros
Simple process, weekly pay, no need to chase my employer for pay
Cons
Getting set up was a long and confusing process, Recruiters would often leave me in the dark with how job prospects were progressing.
