Amazing agency with a very human touch. I have been working for them in an airline as a temp for over two years, and through this time they have been very supportive, visiting me on site and always asking if I needed any help. I would recommend them to any employer and people looking for a temporary position. Siobhan, Sara, Martha and Henry were absolutely great.

I applied to be considered for temporary employment through Huntress, and spoke to the lovely Rachel at their Brighton office the following day and was invited to register in person which I did yesterday. After many attempts to engage with other recruitment agencies it's nice to know that Huntress have shown that they do care and they want to help. It's very reassuring when the going has been tough enough in job hunting.

Great customer service and dedicated to those who want to work. They do make sure that they keep you up to date with everything, ensure that you have the full support and guidance. Best agency. Specifically Narjis and Tia who work at the firm are incredible ladies who are so understanding and helpful. Very warming and amazing ladies they have definitely ensured that Huntress are a great agency to work with/for.

Dear All, If you're looking to be placed in any arbitrary office role, then this is definitely the place for you. The impression that I got from this company, was that they were very pushy on placing me into any job role, without taking any of my preferences into consideration. From the get go, the lady who interviewed me(Narjis) though friendly, was quite negative, and got into a rant about how there aren't very many jobs these days, even proceeding to give me an account of one of her clients who had missed an opportunity from Huntress, and was now stuck doing nothing. Furthermore, she had nothing positive to say about my CV and kept finding flaws in it.
She also kept suggesting that I work on a more permanent basis, as it wouldn't look good on my CV. We are all aware that there are plenty of transferable skills that you learn whilst living overseas, which I was thrilled to put to use. Having just returned from studying and living abroad, I felt quite let down as my varying background and skills were simply looked over and not taken into consideration.
I contacted Huntress, looking for temporary work specifically, if this is something they are unwilling to provide, they must not advertise it. I received a follow up email from the company, asking if I would be able to start work the following week, to which I responded I would. After my response, I received no further communication or information about jobs that could perhaps be suitable for me.

I can only recommend this agency as they were incredibly polite, helpful and attentive! I got my first job interview within just couple of days and then the job itself within less than 3 weeks! During this time and even beyond consultants kept in touch and were really nice and supportive. I felt really well treated and the whole experience was nothing but positive.

I was recently contacted by Jenny Buck (senior recruitment manager at Huntress) with regards to a position at that she believed I would be well suited too. I had a lot of agencies contact me over the years resulting in different / varied experiences some decent, some far from decent lol. But there was something different about Jenny. I often take the time to look into people who contact me, especially after having some less than desirable experiences with recruitment agencies, usually looking them up on Linkedin, just so I know who I am talking too and dealing with.
I was very encouraged by Jenny's experience, but I was more impressed by how she dealt with me. Jenny was not pushy, like some staff from other agencies I had encountered, in fact both Jenny and Lorna (Bahsoon) were very pleasant, friendly, encouraging, professional, great with time management, they didn't keep me hanging around, but made time for me if I had questions or needed assistance.
They provided support all the way through the application and interview process, but what really stood out to me was this. My CV was slightly out of date and needed updating, some real TLC so to speak lol Jenny actually took the time to update my CV, something she did outside of office hours, I know this as I had left Huntress in the afternoon, and Jenny emailed me my updated CV after 7pm that very evening.
From that moment I was completely sold on Huntress as a recruitment agency and Jenny as a recruitment manager, she showed me sincere commitment, and because of that I am more than happy to recommend Huntress to anybody reading this. I believe they are a recruitment agency that is truly a cut above the rest.

Drawing Down the Moon have used Huntress in Hammersmith for a number of years, to hire both permanent and temporary staff. I dealt originally with the impressive manager Sara, and more recently with her wider team. The whole team are unfailingly polite, can-do, positive and responsive. I had an urgent query regarding a reference over a weekend and was very surprised to receive not one, but two responses from them.
Our team are all client facing, so we are a demanding client. We only recruit people with strong emotional intelligence, people who are intuitive, empathetic and vitally (!) kind. Not necessarily easy to locate and that is why Huntress Hammersmith are a 5 Star Partner for us.

Well recommended by me! I uploaded my CV onto Huntress' website rather than emailing it and had an email and telephone message straight away. Registered soon after. Michelle Thorne is so helpful. I've worked through both ends of the political spectrum with Huntress The National Union of Teachers and Conservative Campaign Headquarters both in their respective postrooms.
It was most interesting at The Conservative Party although I missed out on seeing John Major one day. Would not keep 12 hour days up for long though. I've also done some invigilating at a private law school through Huntress but have rejected this work in more recent times as personally I find education a bit depressing. Consultants were a bit narky when I rejected this work.
I have also done some other reception/switchboard work at an institute and a charity which I have enjoyed. It's worth bearing in mind that it is not in Huntress' terms and conditions to demand of their clients a minimum 4 hours payment for work of less duration as it is with some other agencies I've worked through. Huntress pay me by cheque as I refused to undergo money laundering shenanigans.
Yes this agency really are very good and have been useful to me by providing work before trips to Australia. Update Jul 2013//Huntress are now paying a minimum of 4 hours wages for work of less hours very good.

Then only reason I'm not giving these guys five stars is due to an issue with timesheets which left me with no pay for two weeks. Admittedly it wasn't entirely their fault but I'm still a little better. This minor incident aside, my experience with Huntress has been great. All the staff are really nice and friendly and you always get an individual assigned to you who takes great care and attention to know your situation.
On top of this they will call regularly throughout your employment just to see how things are going which can admittedly get quite annoying but shows they care. I would recommend Huntress to anyone in desperate need of employment. It really feels like they work very hard for you.
