Report
A great company/agency, open and honest and actually there for you as an employee but as long as you do the same. Worked with some Agencies whilst at Uni for a bit of extra money and was thoroughly let down by the, JIS however have been amazing. If you are reading this review, I highly recommend that you send them a C.V and use them for finding temporary work in a scientific sector/related work and like me it could end up leading to a full time position with the company you work for.
