Every time I apply for work through…

Every time I apply for work through this company, you never ever ever hear from them ever at all. When you ring up asking about vacancies they're on the website, they always say they've got nothing. I just don't understand how businesses are staying in business when you're ringing constantly for two years solid and they've never got anything. When you ring up about jobs being advertised on social media on the website, they said it's a mistake; it's not meant to be there. I mean come on no.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration.

Following on from this, we spoke to our consultant who was pleased to confirm that they got you booked in to register with us last week. As discussed, while we may not always have immediate vacancies available, we will ensure you are placed on standby so we can contact you as soon as suitable opportunities arise.

We appreciate you taking the time to speak with us and look forward to supporting you moving forward.

David

David this immature guy who works for this organisation just rang me up asked me question then continually spoke over me then when i pointed this out he got on a power trip and took the job opportunity away from me. i was 95% through the completing the forms. i had a interview Monday but for some strange reason young david said it was both a interview and I got the job.
Either way just a rude person probably the worse experienced I've ever had with any agency.

Edit

So I got a call from the manager today then trust asked me for more details so meridian would understand my complaint better. It asked for full name and telephone.
Why would you need that for I have no plans on ever using you for work and I actually got a call today from the manager.
Anyway still not happy with the rudeness from their member of staff and the manager didn't really say that much that made me feel it was taken seriously.

Unsolicited texts to our business

Unsolicited texts to our business first just asking if we we open to catch up and that our 'skills match a new role'. Person was advised 3 times we're a business and was still insistent on sending nonsense about a hybrid role we can do in our own time. As trustpilot wont take screenshots i am literally typing the conversation with this company.

Them: Open to catch up?

Us: Good afternoon, You've come through on the web text system. It doesn't tell me who you are, sorry. Lisa NCS

Them: Hi, Clara Hughes from Meridian Business Support UK. We have a new position that fits your skills. Can I send job and salary details?

Us: Good afternoon, I am admin for the business who's skill match and I may be able to send you through to them

Them: Actually this is home-based task. We have online hybrid roles which you can do at your convenient time at home. Can i share the details?

Us: Im not sure who's 'skills' in our company match your position, but since you seem incessant send them across. Ill add it to junk file.

Them: Requirement for the role: 24+ and UK National or have work/residence rights. Can I go ahead if you qualify?

Us: We are a limited company with several employees

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We can confirm that the individual named “Clara Hughes” is not employed by Meridian Business Support, and the messages you received did not come from our organisation.

Unfortunately, recruitment scams and impersonation attempts are becoming increasingly common, and it appears our name may have been used.

We’re sorry you experienced this, but please rest assured this communication was not connected to our business or any of our recruiters.

Professional, responsive and caring.

I was in the process of re-entering the job market and was mindful of contacting agencies and just being another number.

After speaking with Julia Northcott - Exeter, it became clear she was interested in making sure she had the right person for the job.

Always an eye on making sure the client received the best candidate, but also keeping you in the loop of any developments, while also coaching you, to get the most positive experience out of the process.

A refreshing experience, which resulted in me receiving a job offer.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We would like to provide some clarity around this matter.

Upon checking our records, we can see the team initially contacted you regarding a warehouse opportunity you applied for with one of our clients and explained the nature of the role. At that stage, you advised that you did not feel the position was suitable.

A week later, there was a follow up regarding the same site with an alternative shift pattern. There was uncertainty expressed again and we invited you to take some time to consider the opportunity. As we did not hear back from you following that conversation, the process concluded there.

We are committed to open communication and transparency in how we engage with candidates, and we regret if there has been any misunderstanding in this instance.

Very helpful and accommodating. Julia Northcott was wonderful in advising me and helping me gain a decent role as well as briefing me for the job interviews with any details she could find. She was also very polite and personable, would recommend!

I would not trust this agency

I would not trust this agency.
As every agency you have to register online with them but the questions are more than unusual. You have to say if you rent or own your accommodation, if you have a written agreement with your landlord, they even want to know the names of people you live with and if they are related to you and what is your relationship to them. If you don’t answer these questions you can not get a job. I regret I ever gave my details to this agency at all.

We are sorry that our registration caused you concerns. If we haven’t taken the time to not explain some of the questions to you, we can appreciate they may seem strange. It sounds like we may have fallen short in the way we managed the process with you on this occasion.

These questions should be discussed with our candidates and are intended to help us spot signs of people that may be vulnerable. If you’d like to speak to us in more detail about this please email complaints@meridianbs.co.uk.

Was called regards a job and following a positive call was asked to send some documentation with a view to possible interview at location which was close to home.
Job sounded pretty decent and I felt positive.
I didn't get the call back the next day and the day after I called back and was told the guy at the factory hadn't got back to them. Called on the Monday to be told Julie/ Julia I'm not sure was now off ill. Was offered her email to contact direct but I felt whilst ill it wouldn't be fair.
Tried to call several times since and told they would get lady to call me back.
Over a week later I still have had no call back.
I feel all they wanted to do was get my personal details banking/passport etc to show they have someone else on their books.
This week the same vacancy is being advertised again.
Very poor show

At Meridian, we are committed to ensuring a fair, thorough and compliant process for all applicants. While we aim to provide progress updates as soon as possible, in this instance the decision-maker at our client’s end is currently on annual leave, which has contributed to the extended timeline.

I had an great experience with julia she was so helpful and kind i would recommend anyone to talk with her. Always had a straight to the point chat but also was able to feel comfortable talking about my normal life which really does help boost confidence when talking to someone you have never spoken to before.

Fake job adverts?

Even with a strong cv I know no one who has ever been offered an interview by this company. Either very unlucky or fake job adverts?
Company tried to get review taken down.
Unfair or typical response to a fake advert by a fake company.
Croydon Branch fake/shell company surely?

Cold contact on WhatsApp

Cold contact on WhatsApp. Vague about positions and no idea what my profession or expertise was in. Chancers or scammers..? not very professional at best.

Well I can’t speak for the whole what a woman …

Well I can’t speak for the whole business but Julia Northcott is amazing. She helped me out big time with my new job. She got me an interview back in March for the business which in all honesty I was over qualified for. But when that same company was needing a supervisor she was straight back on the phone to me and got a me an interview again. She is a lovely person anyway really cares about her job and her clients. And if I need to hire any staff myself I’ll be contacting her straight away.
