Not as helpful as other agencies and definitely not as well organised. No communication with staff and no support

Twice I have called looking for employees, twice I have been told someone will call me back, not to honour this. Service doesn't aspire me to believe service will be any better if we were to use them and a problem should arrive

Recently I went on a trip with them and they were awesome. I met new people and spoke to them, which is incredibly hard for me to do ❤

The staff really put you at ease and got to know you. After working for the same company for twenty years and deciding on a change in career path and change in a home life situation as a carer it was going to be difficult to get a work and home life balance but Ongo found me my perfect job. I am now using Ongo myself to find a perfect employee to help our family.
