Diamond Recruitment Group

Diamond has been a bit of a mixed bag for me. On the one hand, when I moved back to Belfast from London they helped me find work pretty much instantly and I was kept in employment for well over a year. However, these days all the appear to do is send me an email every week that lists all their vacancies. They don’t appear to fill any of these jobs, as its the same thing every week. I have emailed about some of these positions and they just don’t get back to you. Next mail, the jobs still there. Ahhh!

How many recruitment agencies does one city need?
Diamond is another one I’ve signed up for, but I can’t say that they’ve actually done anything for me. I still get job alerts from them and there are only ever one or two jobs listed on them, one of which isn’t actually a job, it’s just them looking for a bank of people to use should any jobs come up.
Maybe they’re better for other industries. The have an entire network of branches, each specialising in one industry — nursing, marketing, accountancy and the like.
It’s probably worth signing up with them, but not really because they’re any good, it’s just better to hedge your bets if you’re looking for work these days!

I was distinctly underwhelmed by the service I received from Diamond recruitment, and found them to be a bruised and dusty piece of scrap metal rather than a dazzling diamond!
When I rang their offices they were reluctant to meet me in their offices to discuss potential job options, instead referring me to their website, which wasn’t a good start.
Once referred there, I found the website interface to be clean and effective, but the range of jobs was limited to say the least. Once I sifted through the wave of rubbish, I tried applying for things, but got no responses from the Diamond workers who were assigned to advertising different roles. I accept for some roles I may not have had all the necessary skills, but for some of the part time jobs I was vastly overqualified and sill heard nothing back.
I hope that other people have received better service from here than I have. They need to focus on the people coming to them a lot more and provide a more personal and responsive service.
