I sadly had to wave goodbye to my job in hospitality in 2020 due to covid restrictions and a national lockdown. I was unsure of the future of the business with everything going on, and hadn't had to look for a job outside of the hospitality trade in some time so was clueless. I had applied for a position through NRG, but was contacted and put forward for another, after they thought my skills and work experience would be better suited elsewhere. They where very clear with all information and got back to me ASAP with any questions or queries I had. From starting in my new position they have been

Extremely long recruitment process, terrible training on the job, poor communication from the agency and no notice of the end of the contract. Make promises they fail to deliver on.

Very dissapointed in recruitment process, was passed by 3 different people because they kept going on holidays during my recruitment process, was emailed at 8pm to say my 2nd interview was cancelled and would get more details next day but never heard from them again. Generally whole recruitment process was chaotic and unprofessional.

They told me that my temporary role had the chance of becoming permanent but that was a total lie - the job was already filled. I was just filling in until the recruited person was available. Utter liars and users. Found out my job was over at 11 on my last day. But not from the agency. They would have had me turning up the following Monday to be turned away at the door. Avoid these jokers like the plague!
