Neave Pamela

Amazing agency, always pleasure to deal with. Working with so many agencies in the past all over UK, can tell for sure here staff know what they doing. All those comments sound like propaganda for me. Always great communication, always make me busy.

If you're looking for jobs that make you tired, during hours that you don't usually like, and be paid less than expected (even after reading the contract), then Pamela Neave is perfect for you. But the best thing about PamNea is the customer service; everytime you have a problem, they will make call again and again until you're problem.will stay your problem. I was being sarcastic, I hope everyone will understand. The world needs less PamNeas

Consistent late payments and even underpaid me once. No matter how much they explained it it still seemed like covering up for just illegally taking a good chunk of my paycheck. Will never work for them again and would recommend the same.

Not impressed with the way i was spoke to over the phone or the application process. It is the only agent that has asked me to physically go to be interviewed at their premises.

I went here for an interview for a position within the company (or so it was advertised) then when I got there the woman interviewing me started going on about jobs in retail. I was not impressed they had scammed me into thinking that a job in their office was available just to boost the number of clients they had. Absolute scum of the earth. If you want a decent agency I recommend JUICE

The abuse of the staff that goes on its absolutely horrific and how this place hasn't shut down is beyond me. Do NOT use this service. The woman who runs this has no respect for anyone but herself. Disgusting.

Horrible agency, staff are very rude. No job at all and a blond lady who interviewed me, she treated me so bad. That all I wished for was run away from there. Never again

No communication, actually had an interview to work in there office but there was no communication afterwards and the interview was not in private, shocking experience, I would never sign with them again as that was the only offer of an interview, moved to another agency with lots of offers.

Terrible agency. No communication, never offer any work. Had like 2 positions within 2 years of being registered with them. Phoned them asking about a position they have on offer, apparently they do not have me registered with them, despite me phoning weekly for the past 6 months. I said I had sent my CV to update their systems - they did not receive this. What a completely unprofessional agency. Avoid.

It's just wasting time, sitting in this agency and filling papers. First they promise, later there is no answer anyway.

Amazing agency! Don't understand all the 1 star reviews, been nothing but helpful and staff are so lovely. Highly recommend!

- compared to other recruitment agencies I used in the past, going into Pamela Neave was a relatively positive experience. Instead of turning their nose up at my CV and grunting about my lack of factory/office work based experience, they sat me down and went through my CV with them. They told me which were 'transferable skills' and which sort of summer jobs were out there.

I left feeling a lot more optimistic and confident, and was able to get a job within the next week. They didn't pester me to get the latest job that was advertised to them. Instead, they carefully chose the right type of jobs that would suit me, which made me secure in the knowledge they knew what they were doing and not taking the mick.

My experience of Pamela Neave wasn't great. Most of the work I do is in the media sector and a few years ago, when I was just starting out, I had to, on occasion; work some temporary jobs to get me by. Pamela Neave was one of the places I tried. The problem with most high street recruitment agencies is they're geared almost exclusively towards people with office based experience and office based qualifications.

Some places, like Flair 4 Recruitment, appreciate that you may not be from an administrative background but will look to try and use your experience in a "transferable skills" kind of way. Other places, like Pamela Neave, look at you like something they've just trodden in if you don't know how to use excel. "I don't care if you've got an MA or a PHD; can you type 60 words a minute?" Well no. "The pi** off", was pretty much the attitude. (I haven't got a PHD, but thought I'd exaggerate the scenario for dramatic effect).

I know the recruitment agency's of Bristol all to well. They can be judged chiefly on two measures, their ability to get you work and their ability to treat like a human being. Pamela Neave gets middling marks on the first measure and top marks on the second. Located in Bristol city centre, it looks a bit tired and dowdy on the outside and this feel increases when you enter. Don't let this put you off though.

The friendly-ish receptionist will give you some forms to fill out and then you'll talk to one of the consultants. This is where Pamela Neave is a bit different - they actually seem to listen a little bit and don't try to either fob you off at the first opportunity or steam roller you into work you don't want. These might not sound like great achievements, but are nonetheless rare in the depressing world that is high street recruitment. If you're looking for work and want to be treated like person and not a commodity then head down to Pamela Neave.

Although a little old-fashioned in appearance, the staff at Pamela Neave try their best to accommodate you and find work no matter how much or little experience you have. From anything to stock takes to charity fundraising or telephone operating the jobs are offered relatively often for a small recruitment agency. Try visiting here if you're feeling a little defeated by the blank faced and bored looking staff at the other agencies, the friendly staff here will make you feel like a person again and may even remember your name after a visit or two.
