Working with Richard at Travail…

Working with Richard at Travail Employment in Bristol has been an absolute pleasure. He has provided us with high‑quality temporary staff who are reliable, professional, and extremely well‑matched to the needs of our service.
Richard takes the time to understand our requirements in detail and always communicates clearly and promptly. His proactive approach and commitment to finding the right people has made a significant positive difference to our staffing operations.
The staff supplied have all integrated seamlessly into our teams, demonstrating capability, flexibility, and a strong work ethic from day one. It’s clear that Richard not only understands the market but genuinely cares about delivering an exceptional service.
Overall, Richard has been an outstanding partner to work with, and I would highly recommend him and Travail Employment Bristol for any staffing needs

Travail Employment Group in Grantham

Travail Employment Group in Grantham is hands down the best agency I have ever worked with. What sets them apart is how much they truly care about people. They don't just find you a job; they actually show appreciation for the work you do, which is so rare in this industry.
A huge thank you to Amy Barber for her incredible support. She is professional, kind, and treats everyone with genuine respect. It feels great to be part of an agency that values its workers and knows how to say thank you. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for work in Lincolnshire!

Excellent Candidate Vetting Process

We've worked with Travail on several hires and have consistently been impressed by their professionalism and effectiveness. What really sets them apart is the thoroughness of their vetting and qualifying process. Every candidate they put forward has been an excellent fit—not just in terms of skills, but also in alignment with our company culture.
Their team clearly takes the time to understand both the role and the business, which makes the recruitment process smooth and efficient. It's rare to find an agency where every candidate feels like a strong contender, but Travail delivers exactly that.
Highly recommended for any business looking for a recruitment partner who truly adds value.

Thank you for leaving your review of our services. We believe in being thorough in the vetting process, this pays dividends to the potential employer and employee. We thank employers who, like yourselves, engage us to perform a service - rather than pitting us in a race against other recruiters who perhaps do not invest in you, your business and vacancy as we do. Thank you once again.

A Joy to Work with

Our business has been working with Travail for many years now and they have been nothing short of delightful to work with. Always friendly and willing to take on board any feedback about candidates. Majority of our temporary workers we have ended up taking on as permanent as they have become vital members of our team. Would highly recommend them for anyone looking for support with their recruitment.

This was my first time requiring a temp for my department and I have been spoilt with the service I have received. We had a couple of hiccups at the start but to say Travail were on it to get me the best person is an understatement. All the team have been very helpful and friendly and the branch manager was a dream to deal with. Was not disappointed with the temp who has stepped up and been a god send through a very busy period

Excellent working relationship

Really happy with my relationship with Mel and Jason at Travail Education Grantham. I just feel so well looked after. The two things I'm looking for as a supply teacher are organisation and communication and they've got it in spades - offers of work are made by phone or text and backed up by email so there's no confusion about where I have to be or when. Totally recommend working with them.

Time wasters

Applied for a job for Saria and received a call saying they would like to put my CV forward to them. The lady I spoke to was friendly and had plenty of information about the role. She then contacted me to arrange an interview and we discussed a date and time that would work, she said would go back to Saria and have the interview confirmed by the end of the day, this did not happen, she then said they had been very busy and that she would call me as soon as they got back to her to confirm. This never happened, it’s been over 2 weeks and I was not contacted again and the job listing is now closed. Slightly disheartening and a complete waste of my time although, I feel I have dodged a bullet from both Travail and Saria because clearly neither are very professional or value peoples time.

We are sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with our service on this occasion
We are dependent on our clients to progress applications and unfortunately, they had some internal matters to deal with prior to arranging interviews.
I am sorry that this has resulted in a delay in getting back to you and we do hope you have managed to secure yourself a role in the meantime.

Took all the hard work out of it

We don't recruit often so it was such a relief to hand over all the hard work to Travail. I had one good long phone conversation where I outlined what we were looking for and they did all the rest. They found us an outstanding candidate and all we had to do was meet them, interview them and say yes. All the team were extremely helpful whenever I had any questions about the process and we are really happy with the result.

I had a wonderful experience working…

I had a wonderful experience working with Travail Employment Group, right from the first day I was interviewed by Lucy Auty, Huddersfield branch. She was very warm and welcoming, giving me a sense of belonging. I also love how they always come to check on us at our place of assignment, reassuring us of their continuous support all the way. I must say, that Lucy, is a top-notch, when it comes to employee matters. She check on employees when they are down or not feeling well. With her kind of person, Travail will be a towering figure in the industry. I would recommend Travail anywhere. I am proud to be a part of the organisation.

Don't bother

Don't bother they have girls working there that are illiterate and they don't do there jobs correctly .I phone up about a job she said I'm going through application and I'll get back to you that didn't happen,I left message in answer phone nothing.i think these companies want workers and they are left with useless agency to find people,why dont they do away with agencies And there for companies would have to offer permanent jobs and they would save money without using agency.

Thanks for your feedback, we are sorry you did not have the experience you expected. It is challenging to keep up with all the enquiries that are made, but to fail to do so is not our intention at all. Thank you for drawing our attention to the situation and we wish you the best of luck in future.

I was registered for 6+months

I was registered for 6+months, was never offered anything even temporary work, the agency also didn't call or contact me once unless I emailed them first, Don't waste your time if your in a rush to get employment. Worst agency iv dealt with.
