Abbatt has highly professional people and they do an amazing job, particularly Jo is the best among all of them. I give Jo a 10 star to Abbatt particular to Jo. As a temp, I had been working with a few agencies and I have never been out of work thanks to their support. It takes two to tango. I show my hard work, dedication and professionalism and professional agencies and sites recognize that and value that. After all it is a business and all parties should do their parts to make it succeed.

They will get their receptionist to tell you that the person you want to speak isnt there ..when in fact they actually in the office. If you going to get people to sign up with your "company" at least have the decency to reply or engage with them. If you dont have any suitable work available then let them know
have you noticed there always lots of vacancies?
why do they need your picture for?
its a shame i cant give zero stars

Dealt with them for over 2 years and wanted a job relevant to my experience and knowledge in Property & Facilities Management. Must admit I had to chase them up on a few occasions, peak Covid times everyone was low in energy, but team Abbatts never gave up on me and even helped with some temping opportunities (when I had no work), and a special rate that not many were getting at the time. Eventually after many interviews, I finally got hold of a decent well paid role which was more relevant to my industry experience and professionally extremely satisfying. It was Laurence, their senior recruitment

THIS IS NOT FAKE REVIEW
I am real PERSON who knows the company for around 20 years. I tried to work for them in 20XX and it was great work and great places they sent me to. I worked in 2005 and it was even better! Then in 2008 again it was fabulous! I worked for Abbats in 2010 as I needed some extra earnings and it was very good too.
Recently, I have received permanent placement from them and I would like to say
SPECIAL PERSONAL THANKS to Mr Aurfan Ramzan
( in fact it coincided that they have offered me 2 great positions at the same time so I had to hesitate which one to choose. They are
