Select Appointments

This is certainly one of the better employment agencies in town. The recruitment consultants are friendly and helpful, and most importantly, they tend to find you work quickly — probably everyone’s priority when visiting such a place. Select would be my first port of call when staring into the great void that is unemployment, as they’ve never let me down yet. Actually, they’ve always managed to get me office temp work in the public sector at favourable rates, and anyone who’s temped for a while will know that the public sector is most definitely the place to be. To get on their books, you just need to send them a CV and then go in for an interview and word/​excel test. It’s all pretty standard stuff. Once I’d completed my interview and filled out my forms, they found me a job within a week. Bonza.

Select Appointments are one of the friendlier recruitment agencies on the recruitment walk. As long as you come in here with an assertive manner and self assurance, you’ll go a long way. The consultants are extremely helpful in discussing your career aims and also worked with me to completely reorder my CV, making the skills I had look far more impressive. These guys are especially good for office work but make sure you have a little experience (or at least some kind of spiel) before you walk through the door.
