I worked with Mark Taylor at AKG Tamworth. I got placed on the restart scheme and didn’t know what to expect. Mark was a breathe of fresh air, looked at what I was doing, offered valuable suggestion... See more

AKG Jobs22 Hinckley
AKG Jobs22, Hinckley, are one of the best and most helpful organisations I have worked with, whilst unemployed. They have supported me in many ways, and always keep my best interests in mind. I would recommend them to anyone, who needs helpful and impartial advice, when looking for work.

Don't seem to have any empathy and just going round and round in circles asking same pointless questions and not offering you anything you can't do yourself soul destroying but they don't care
Started rough but came good in the end
I would have to be honest; I did not get a very good start on my Apprenticeship journey in the beginning. However, since I was assigned a new tutor, it changed massively. I will admit to underestimating the work involved in completing the level 3 course, but it was a long journey and without the help, encouragement and support from Sybil, I would not have made it to the end hence the rating. Times I wanted to give up she was still there in the background checking in on me. I finally finished and now I can focus on better opportunities.

Advisors urge you to send receipts for travel and work clothes only to ignore emails. I was out of work for a year, and they urged me to spend £60+ on work clothes only to ignore my emails. I was never reimbursed for this. I've been waiting for 5 months. Very disappointing!!!

Another useless government waste box ticking exercise
This company adds zero value for job seekers.
The jobs on their 'old school' board can be found on any online job board. It's like stepping back into a high st recruitment agency in the 90s staffed by the same calibre of people.
You go from appointments with DWP to also participating in pointless appointments with these lot too.
I see they made £18M profit last year - for what??
Just another drain on the UK's resources.

Nothing good
I am disappointed with this service. I received one phone appointment, and after that my advisor Ekta disappeared. I emailed them around that time she said will be my next appointment but I never heard anything back from her. Waist of time.

Jobs 22 Support
Jobs 22 paid for my taxi journeys when training for a new job which made it possible to get to work on time which has now turned into a full time job.

Bilqis is incredible!!
Bilqis is incredible!!! Very knowledgeable, professional and resourceful. She restored my confidence with words and actions of encouragement. She also provided practical support with equipment that would help me start work and referred me onto courses to give me CV and interviewing skills. I am now in a very rewarding role and I could not be more grateful. Thank you
