Rise, recruitment firm

[Timmy]

They've made drastic changes to the company in the last year, and were recently voted the best company to work for in scotland.

Rise will soon been integrated with Response, within a year or so.

Depends what it's for. They were useless for me. Got me in for one specific assignment and when that was over they just didn't bother putting me up for anything else, despite lots of phone calls and e-mails.

I've also had mixed experience.

One from Edinburgh (can't remember exactly who) changed my CV for a job I managed to get an interview for, but despite repeated emails wouldn't actually show me what changes they'd made. That really hacked me off.

Joslin Rowe however, a specialist financial services agency, have always been pretty good to me though. Got a birthday card from them last year actually!

RHL is now Response.
A call center, that takes you on a tempoary contract, for 12 weeks.
90% of the time you won't be offered a permenant contract.

Yer fucking arse, hen.

[XMachina]

Rise are RHL/Responses in-house employment agency.

[CHUCK LIDELOL]

Sure if im into this Response shite

[XMachina]

recently voted the best company to work for in scotland.

By whom?

[Addy]

By whom?

Timmy works in recruitment himself so he's probably right, though given what I've heard I am suprised

[Timmy]

Sorry, not company. Best Call centre to work for in scotland.

Its not on the Response website though, so I'm sure it's not an official award. Can't mind the name of the organisation that held the event, maybe Pete will tell us if he goes to the interview*. It was a big conference in the SECC I was at last year, september actually.



*Its one of the first things they mention at the response interview, i'm sure its the same at Rise due to the integration.

[metalmaiden101]

Bumped, sort of.

So what are good job agencies to go to?

[sjonit]

sign on for 6 months, and job centre get u a job on the new deal, no hassle

[Timmy]

No they don't, don't make stuff up.

Rise are recruiting fast atm, took a few of my clients in for interviews with possibility of starting monday.

[AWESOMEUS MAXIMUS]

There you go Pete.
David Murray will be taking a £10 an-hour off your actual wage to pay for his pneumatic legs proto-type.
What more evidence do you need before you dingy it?

Probably voted for by a company also owned by David Murray.
Moonbeams.

I've been through Rise twice. First time they put me in a decent job managing a team at RHL (when it was RHL.) Second time they put me back onto RHL (who by then were just Response) working on an inbound call centre line, it was terrible. Didn't manage more than a month.

[XMachina]
