Fantastic place to work with a great life and work balance. Really good training with help at end if needed. Reliable and reachable people. Very professional staff.
Worked at S? Head Office as a temp on reception. The company and Huntress not very supportive and lacked giving information. The hardest part of the job was being left alone ALOT, getting one in particular abusive caller, tried my best to field it away from the person he was trying to get hold of so he could complain and abuse. The most enjoyable part of the job were that most of the staff were down to earth and friendly. One male was a back stabber. But you only need one eh.
Pros
Free Lunch
Cons
Long Journey from where I lived every day.
Very dishonourable never work as a temp for them.Rude, drop you without any explanation, complete lack of care for their staff.There is nothing more to say, just don’t go near them
Pros
None
Cons
Plenty
I applied to be a temporary worker for administration roles and got two placements through the agency. The first placement wasworking as a receptionist and the second on was in a hospital doing administration. The staff were friendly and very easy to work with.
Pros
The staff are friendly.
Cons
The temp work was not consistent
Good agency, have friendly staff and present you with a good amount of jobs when you are on their radar, but only when you are on their radar need to stay in contact.
Huntress are a great agency, I have done temping work for them in between work placements and go back to them when I need to find another job. Always nice to deal with.
I enjoyed working there, as everyone was helpful and knowledgeable. In addition, the management kept you informed each week of what was going on in the business.
Huntress is a wonderful place to work. Great team, great training, great perks, an all round brilliant company. Surrounded by supportive colleagues with years of recruitment experience.
Help us improve!
Is Indeed your favorite place to learn about companies?
Not supportive at all once role was started.
Very unhelpful and provide no job security.
Staff do not respond to queries promptly.
Will not use them again.
Pros
none
Cons
unhelpful staff, no job security
If there is any problems with the place of employment they never support the employee. Interested in company gain only.
Hounded with calls from the agency when employment commenced, but once employed they are not interested.

Unfavourable to the colleague and supports the descrimation of the hiring company. If you are looking for no support and no real career security, Huntress is the company to go through.

I was not a permanent member of the team so my experience I don't think is typical and would not be fair to imply anything negative.
I worked with other temp workers.
Pros
Great learning experience
Cons
Quite isolated from the rest of the organisatino
Excellent training you cannot fault the previous branch manager or the training team in London. I thoroughly enjoyed working at Huntress until new management came in which dulled the overall buzz in the office
Pros
Great incentives and regular company get togethers in London
A very well run agency with lovely, helpful and efficient staff who have found me a good range of temporary positions over the past 5 years. I have been able to gain new skills and experience.
Pros
Good variety
Cons
Not permanent work
I used this company who were happy to find work for me and I managed to get an interview.
The consultant was really helpful at first and a pleasure to speak to during the recruitment process and obtaining an interview for me.
However, after attending the interview which I thought had gone really well I believe I did not get the job. This is fine as I've had many interviews in the past where I did not get the job but after contacting Huntress to enquire about the result of my interview and possible feedback if I did not get the role, the consultant did not want to know and speak to me.
I called on 3 occasions and all 3 times I was told by another member of the team that the consultant was on the other line and would get back to me. They never did.
I therefore assume because they never got back to me and were always on the phone when I called that this was an excuse not to talk to me. Therefore this reflects my rating.
Pros
Really helpful and efficient in finding you possible employment
Cons
Terrible customer after service.

A standard day at work for me would invlolve preparing microfilm on a computer system before moving the microfilm onto another system to pepare it for the next step which was barcoding. Onece it was barcoding a copy would be made and filled into a folder on internet explorer.
I have learned how to created and move folders on internet explorer and also to take more notes when moving to others jobs.
When I finished with this job the next job required a much higher learning curb and I should have taken more notes to compensate for this.
The Poeple their were nice and easy to get on with.
Pros
Nice poepke
Cons
none
Communication - Nil
Wages - Poor
Security - Poor

I would NOT recommend this agency to anyone.

I a easy way to apply for job until someone advertises a job and you have to start from scratch filling in all their company information and sometimes is too much having to start uploading cvs all over again and i give up half way through . Surely if they advertise on indeed you should be able to apply through Indeed.
Pros
Easy on Indeed
Cons
Hard if they dont fill in all the information expexting you too fill in their company info..
