Critical:Quality,Responsiveness
Wasted my time, asked me to go down and register. After taking an hour to fill out forms which all the information was on the C. V they requested. They then failed to get in touch at all for any jobs at all not just the vacancy I was interested in. Even thou my yearly salary exceeds 45k their loss.

I refused to work for them due to financial conditions and heard that I had no reason to register there anymore and that I would never work with them again for punishment, a labor camp

I have dealt with numerous Agencies over the years with the underlying doubt that MY interests were the priority. I had cause to register with PPS in December and had a subsequent face to face meeting with Phil. Phil took the time to actually understand me as an individual and what my experiences were beyond what could be included in a CV - in my opinion, how things should be done in order to gain the best results for all parties involved. The role which brought me to PPS never panned out due to the employer but Phil continued to search for an appropriate position for me and Im pleased to say that

Used both the stoke and crewe branch and both have been very good. Fantastic communication and always been paid correctly and on time. Will be doing my ADR in the near future so will be looking for work through agency and PPS will be my first point of contact. Thank you
