Company details

  1. Recruitment Service

Written by the company

Swift Temps is a people-first recruitment agency built on relationships, not transactions. We work as a genuine extension of our clients’ teams, taking the time to understand their business, their pressures, and what “good” really looks like for them. We don’t just fill roles; we take a consultative approach, offering insight, challenge where appropriate, and guidance that supports better hiring decisions over the long term. Our approach is selective. We’re not for everyone, and that’s a deliberate choice. We believe recruitment should be honest, transparent, and driven by quality, not volume. That means realistic conversations, clear expectations, and delivering what we promise, even when that means saying no or slowing things down to get it right. Our values sit at the heart of Swift Temps and shape everything we do. They’re built into our teams, our processes, and the way we deliver our service every day. From how we engage with clients and candidates, to how we manage compliance, onboarding, and ongoing support, our values guide our decisions and define our standards. For our candidates, we act with respect and integrity. We listen carefully, communicate openly, and focus on placing people into roles where they can succeed and feel supported, not simply where there is an immediate vacancy. As a business, we’re committed to playing our part in driving the recruitment industry forward. From compliance and wellbeing to ethical hiring and fair treatment, we take our responsibility seriously. Recruitment is deeply personal, impacting real lives and real businesses, and we never lose sight of that responsibility. At Swift Temps, success is measured by trust, outcomes, and long-term partnerships and not short-term wins.

Holiday Pay? Be Prepared to Fight for Your Rights

Before writing this review, I took the time to read some of the previous reviews, and I came to the conclusion that they seem to follow the same “modus operandi”.
Once I asked for my accrued holiday pay, I sent them numerous emails, but exactly the same thing happened to me: no replies, no proper communication and no attempt to resolve the issue.
It seems that you have to fight for your own rights just to receive money you are entitled to. In my opinion, the weakness of employment regulations and enforcement allows some employment agencies to behave as if they can do whatever they want, while workers are left having to chase them repeatedly for what is rightfully theirs.
This has been an extremely disappointing experience. An employment agency should not make its workers fight simply to receive their accrued holiday pay.

Supposed to have been paid by them…

Supposed to have been paid by them Friday 10th July by 17:00 for my induction + 2 hours at best foods banbury

Colin Bedding who confirmed the above has blocked me on what’s app and will not reply to my emails

I emailed them main office copying in Trisha Nawrocka , she said she would look into it and hasn’t replied back since. Even tho I’ve chased a further 4 times .

My contract is with swift temps ,not with best foods so you should pay me on time .

Shocking company , I have never been treated so bad by an employer

I want what I’m owed by them.

Had nothing but problems with swift

Had nothing but problems with swift, couldn’t put holidays through when asked and couldn’t pay me on time. Asking for your pay was like talking to a brick wall.

Avoid swifft temps- Absolutely Nightmare

If I could give zero stars, I would. This agency is easily the most unprofessional outfit I have ever encountered.
Payment Issues: Don’t expect to get your money on time—or at all without a fight. I had to wait two weeks just to receive my holiday pay, which is legally mine. They treat your hard-earned wages like a suggestion rather than an obligation.
Toxic Management: The manager, Viky, is shockingly rude. Instead of behaving like a professional and resolving payroll errors, she resorts to aggression. When I dared to question where my money was, she actually tried to threaten me with the police. It is a common tactic to intimidate workers so they stop asking for their pay.
Terrible Community: The atmosphere and the way they treat their staff is bottom-tier. There is zero support, zero respect, and a total lack of integrity across the board.
Bottom line: If you value your sanity and want to actually be paid for the work you do, stay far away from Swift Temps. They are a "company" that prefers threats over basic accounting.
