Agency work in Edinburgh

[The_Horde]

Anybody on here ever done a bit of this (or are still doing) who can recommend an agency?

I have been working in a supermarket for the last 3 years, I don't specialise in anything in particular and i don't have many qualifications at the moment so ideally looking at an Agency that also does training courses.

I have been recommended Brook Street by a friend, has anybody had any experience with them?

Cheers.

I haven't done any but people recommended some to me on here. I never got round to using them though as I got offered a permanent job.

I have a feeling it was on the PM board though so I don't have access to it at the moment. Hopefully someone can find the thread for you.

(Admin, I am planning on renewing by the way but I haven't had internet access for a few weeks and hadn't got round to it yet).

...I'll probably renew my PM membership tonight so I'll have a look for you.

Apologies, I was watching the football so I've not been able to register for PM.

As promised, I have now renewed my Private Membership.

Here are the agencies that were recommended to me on the PM thread.

One person said:

Change - They are used by a big company at Edinburgh Park.

Another said:

"- Search
- Manpower
- Pertemps
- Head
- Hudson
- Hays
- Office Angels
- Adecco
- Reid

All these agencies have bases in Edinburgh and sell in the office/administration market. There are a few others that I can't think of.

Best piece of advise, always follow up on any potential jobs/opening. Never leave it to the agency to get back in touch with you, because 9/10 they won't."
