Dan,

We use them here at work as a recruitment agency.
Not heard anything bad about them, and they're big on sports advertising as well.

What role you getting into with them mate.?

I am going for a Senior Consultant role at the office in the Strand central London. Been talking to me about 3 roles within the company including Enginerring, and Construction

I have heard alot of good things about them and seem a very good company to work for...

They have been advertising on TV recently.
Not anything specific but just the fact they are the world leaders in recruitment.

IIRC, James Caan (Dragons Den) either set it up or owns them.

I worked for them briefly in a major mobile phone operator and they were fucking useless. The two managers they employed in house couldn't have organised a wank in a brothel between them.

Oh and they also take a big slice of your wage to pay for all the fancy advertising.

I was a section manager at O2. Only lasted 8 weeks as I couldn't bear it any longer.

If your using them to find you a job I'm sure you'll be fine. I was actually employed by them in O2 on a temp basis until O2 offered contracts.
