Awful 'communication'. They send you a job spec and then don't respond to any emails or phone calls. I have tried three separate numbers on separate days and it just rings and rings and rings. The direct line for the 'recruitment agent' doesn't even ring, just instantly hangs up without getting a dial tone. I have emailed the recruitment agent multiple times trying to arrange a phone call and he doesn't even bother to reply to my emails.

I have found iO associates to be most professional in their approach and have supported me throughout my contract. Sam Terrett was always there when I had a query and was always quick return my calls if he wasn't available.
