If you can help it don’t work for these!Blanket-rule inside ir35! But treat you like a contractor.No rights contract. They provide no uniform or tooling.They balls wages up then shift the blame.Provide very little support.

Store, Picker - Packer (Former Employee) - Derby - 19 May 2022

I worked with them more for one year. They are correct and i can say that, they tried to sort out everything. Although the agency tried to do everything, the workplace was not correct.

interesting 442 refreshment project

Electrical Engineer (Former Employee) - Eastleigh, Hampshire - 4 May 2020

it was nice to see that stores and precurement was very well organised, availability of consumables and tooling required for the job, friendly management and colleagues, with a safe place to store your personal tooling without the worry of anything being stolen.

Just be careful

Train care (Former Employee) - Bombardier, Barton upon Needwood - 19 April 2017

Shorterm are really a useless recruitment agency their pay varied holidays are ment to be working time directive but that was on your contracted hours which nobody understood why not even those in their account department. If you left them a message nobody would get back to you. The only thing that was good working for this recruitment was the people I worked with.

Pros

Paid all the way through the shift

Cons

Ok with the work they provide

Rolling stock technician (Former Employee) - London - 23 November 2015

Difficult to progress as any attempt to move on within their networks were blocked so as not to upset the companies that they provide for. was blocked for interviews until I left my full time employment, this made it very difficult to progress so do be careful guys
