Ideal-Recruit

I actually enjoyed working at the place where I was based, but lack of communication from the agency, felt like you couldn’t approach them over anything. Then when you actually did speak to a member of staff from Ideal. Well Wow what can I say.. Never in all my years of working for different agencies have I ever had anyone speak to me the way 1 particular person did from ideal, tried to speak to this person about my pay and wasn’t allowed to speak as he just shouted down the phone at me and told me I had to listen to him. No respect for there workers or should I say this one man doesn’t anyway. So because he wanted to be a control freak down the phone I was then no longer required at the place where I had been working, even though the company themselves never had a problem with me or my work. Putting in a formal complaint to head office too.

My time working for Ideal Recruit was brief. Me and several other staff members were made redundant after working only three shifts. Not to mention it took over a month for me to get paid. Communication between the agency and the workplace were responsible for this confusion.

The job itself would have been fine. It was very slow-paced and mundane despite the good pay and hours. The only work I did was packing and some other general warehouse duties.

To conclude, this is an agency that is not worth working for unless absolutely necessary.

good pay, but didn't pay me on 2 occasions properly, even though I had timesheets signed by ASDA transport team, so rang couple of times only to be told that I was dragging time while at work, then why ASDA signed timesheets in first place? when you're not green card inducted, you won't even get in transport office, unless someone lets you in with swipe card so that's where you loosing time or as Ideal recruit say dragging the time, spoke to few drivers, majority had some pay discrepancies, if it wasn't for that it   could be decent agency

Management at ideal is terrible, impossible to get through to anyone who can answer your questions to any extent in which you feel your issue is resolved and booking holidays is practically non existent. Poor lack of communication and wages are often wrong despite the fact they will tell you it was your responsibility to sign in and out of work which has been done. Owed money from paid holidays I couldn’t have off over Christmas and haven’t been able to get in touch with anyone since.

Awful company
* underpaid me despite working nights was paid at day rates, made numerous calls however issue was never resolved and there for lost out on money.

*didn't recieve pay slips for weeks until I complained

* ignored any emails and phone calls

* Was told I'd lost any holidays as April was the cut off point despite only starting the job mid March, there for being unable yo use them within the first few weeks

Advice yo anyone wanting to work for them.DONT

We weren't ever truly included in the big picture or treated equally with other branches. I was also made redundant just 1 month before going on Maternity Leave in a matter of 2 week, having to start my leave earlier and having absolutely no job to come back to. I honestly think that there could have been a kinder solution for my situation. 

Applied, went in to do some online assessment thing. Then a few weeks later got a text at 9pm asking if I could work tomorrow at 2. Went in, told the shifts on Sunday started at 12 not 2. So only did 6 hours. Worked a full shift the next day then wasn't needed after that. Worked with Good people. Paid on time, then got paid again the next week by accident and was asked to send it back.

The management at Ideal are not great. There is no communication between anyone in the company so overall makes it a bad experience. 
There was no recognition for any positives you did whilst there, just negative. 
Colleagues don’t work together, they work what feels like against each other and a lot of discrimination due to age, knowledge, experience etc. 

I was in need of job and had very pleasant conversation over the phone with one of consultant. Further to phone interview I have been invited to the office to finnish registration proces. I've been given all answers for my question and even more support on daily basis once I've started to work for Ideal. I attend my 1st shift next day from my visit in Ideal office.

The job they gave me was really exciting and fun and the team I got to work with were amazing but the pressure from the agency staff to perform at top standards was very patronising and anxiety inducing. The agency staff need to be more understanding, otherwise it was great.
