My first experiences with G2 were somewhat disappointing. I was contacted a few times about potential contracts, but after submitting my CV, communication stopped. I received no feedback, which left... See more

The most unprofessional recruitment…
The most unprofessional recruitment agency I’ve ever had the displeasure of dealing with.
As an employer they showered me with CVS that didn’t match my skills criteria, hadn’t a clue about M&E.
Told lie after lie on the phone and didn’t like to be challenged about it once the truth came out.
All they want is to sign you up for lengthy contracts.
Of the two people we did employ neither had a good word to say about G2 which totally mirrors my view and perception.
Jake hasn’t a clue about customer service, and Jordon the junior as Jake describes him is only out to get a lengthy contract and a nice commission.
Avoid these two at G2 in Manchester, sadly they give recruiters a bad name, we certainly won’t use them again.
Useless Agency
Useless Agency. I never signed up with them and am now receiving daily spam for jobs that don’t match my experience.
Banch of losers

Sham, the manager in Amsterdam, karma will come back :)
Terrible
Terrible. Send loads of emails yet never reply to applications. called me about one job application on a withheld number and left no voice message , confirmed it was them who had called and would be calling me back shortly but never did. Waste of time
Useless spammers
Spams me LITERALLY THREE TIMES A DAY with e-mails about jobs that don't suit me at all.
Had multiple conversations on the phone and via email with them, but they just ignore what you tell them about what you want and send you everything they have all the time.
Used fake referral to get in touch
A sales rep claimed they were referred to me by a friend. Turns out he did not refer them at all. Don't let these guys waste your time.
Very good cooperation.

I had a great experience working with g2 recruitment, especially with Eleanor Baker who supported me in a very professional manner. It's pretty amazing stuff , and I don't know how she do it, but she could accelerate all the official process and helped me to join Biovotion AG in a short period of time. She was very supportive the entire time. After joining the company, she kindly continued to support me.
Highly recommended for any freelancer
Working as a freelancer at G2 and it has been a great experience. No hassle with timesheets as they are done electronically, correct and in-time payments. G2 is a great recruiter to work for and highly recommended for any freelancer. Big appreciation to Deen Siari providing me the roles and extensions for the last 3 years.

In year 2019 Jake Gallagher placed me at One Creative Environment Ltd as architectural technician.
All the paperwork was carried out electronic, it was swift and quick.
Few was tick boxes exercise.
As a freelance workers my questioned were answered and to my satisfaction.
Also, as per the contract regulator payment were made.
First payment was made after four weeks, there after it was rolled out weekly.
Jake Gallagher was also contactable for chat after office hours.
My time with g2 was satisfactory and enjoyed working at OCE Ltd.

This is my second time working with G2…
This is my second time working with G2 and it definitely won't be the last. Their consultant Jay has been a delight to work with. His professional manner and enthusiasm coupled with his knowledge of the clients and roles available for me was second to none.
It was nice to speak to someone like Jay who was genuinely interested in getting the best contract for me and always gave an honest opinion.
Their online portal and general administration support was a breeze to go through and they always stayed in touch making sure I was happy throughout the contract process.
I highly recommend that you work with G2 if you get the opportunity.
A new job
I had been with my last agency for 10 years. So i havent dealt with any other agencies in a long time. So when i applied for a role with G2, they were very efficient in getting me the job i wanted.
Working with Jake at G2 has always been…
Working with Jake at G2 has always been a pleasure. I have been contracting for over 20 years and Jake with G2 ticks all the boxes for being a good agent.
One of the characteristics the set Jake apart is is the ability to be sincere with me about possible roles and extensions. In this day and age of using positivity as a risk avoidance technique, it's nice to have someone who is willing to share their honest perspective.
G2 follows Jake's capability, I have been paid quicker than any other agency and their online portal was easy to use. When I thought they make a mistake on payment, they quickly got the right people in touch with me, gave me all the information I needed in order to discover that is was a typo on my part.
I have read some of the reviews here and I have been very surprised at some of the negative comments. I can say that many of them, in my opinion, seems to new to using agencies, they are frustrated that the work journey is not the same that they are accustomed to.
Efficient and courteous
I have always had a good relationship with Otis from G2, and any issues were always dealt with promptly and efficiently. I.would recommend G2 for any contractor.
Absolute delight to work with G2
It has been an absolute delight dealing with G2 Recruitment, especially Otis. I have now been with the G2 for more than a year and have had a great experience from initial contact to job interview, signing of contract to joining instructions and continuous timely support to on-time payments.
My point of contact at G2 Recruitment (Otis) is always a phone call away as and when needed.
In addition, considering I relocated from Scotland to Wales, Otis was exceptional in providing support during my relocation, he even compiled and shared a list of suitable and commutable local areas to the end client site.
All-in-all a thorough professional service with personal touch.
Many thanks to whole team at G2, especially Otis.

Excellent service, this is the first time that I have worked through an employment agency and would recommend g2's services to anyone.
I originally had two issues, i.e. contract wording and first payment. however both were resolved to my satisfaction very quickly. Since then it has been a pleasure to work with them as they take all the invoice and payment hassle away from dealing direct with the client.
Payments are consistent and on time which makes for great peace-of-mind.
Great company!
Many thanks to Otis, he always listens and acts well - very professional at his job.
Great experience (maybe not!)
Brilliant staff in the Bristol branch who helped me with everything to get started in my new position recently. Ask for Dom. Really great experience!

Got no complaints so far after a two year contract.
My main contact Otis has always been Friendly and very approachable if I have any problems or questions.
I am also paid through G2 and haven’t experienced any issues at all.
Excellent Company
I have worked for many Agents over a 25+ year period and g2 are one of the top two certainly. The team and particularly Otis where brilliant at all stages of my time with them and on all fronts, Contract, Insurances, Timesheet system and much more. Otis helped me feel comfortable with my new end client. I hope to use g2 again in the near future as they serve my needs as a Contractor running a small Limited Company.
