Over the last couple of years I have been studying towards a career change, and alongside that I have been keeping my feelers out for any potential suitable entry-level jobs I can apply for to get myself started. Somewhere along the line, G2 must have noticed my profile (most likely they saw me on LinkedIn), because they started calling and emailing me relentlessly for several months trying to offer me job roles in the same field that I'm in currently. Despite speaking to them politely on several occasions, explaining that I'm looking for work in a completely different field, and asking them to remove me from their contacts lists for this sector, I had to resort to simply ignoring them because they just don't get the message, and they clearly haven't actually read my CV because it clearly states that I'm studying towards a career change. They've obviously just seen my current job title and not bothered to look any further than this. Even now I still get the odd email from Jay Ryder and Alexander Hill, and it's always about jobs in the field I'm trying to exit. They just go straight into my spam now, as I'm tired of constantly repeating myself. Still looking for that first job even today, and reading through the reviews of G2 it's left me with a very bleak outlook of recruiters in general.
This recuriment agency calls you and say they have 'job for you' and then asks your general questions;'what's your situation right now' , then they ask for your CV. Then their colleague does the same thing and does not have a look at CV, then another colleague asks same question. They are extrmely unprofessional, not responding to calls or emails, when you do finally get them on the phone asking about a job they've advertised, they said 'I call you back' they never do. The most unprofessional recruitment agency I've come across and I have worked with many. They also send me emails by accident when it was meant to be for their colleague with a link to my own linkedin profile, when I challenged them why they've done that, silence again.
G2 have been very professional from day one. I was first contacted by James Craigen who demonstrated a high level of knowledge and professionalism. I can honestly say it's been smooth sailing since. All paperwork and payments are taken care of promptly and hassle free.
I applied for a graduate recruitment job, without prewarning or any contact I was phoned by them and was given a 40 minute interview on the spot. The lady I spoke to seemed to try and put me off the job as much as possible and made me feel rather uncomfortable. I after emailed her thanking for the opportunity and asked if I could send her my updated CV as on the call both realised they somehow had my outdated version. I never received a reply or any further contact from them despite the end of the call being told they would be in touch to let me know the outcome of my interview.
SCAMMERS. FAKE JOBS.
I was looking for jobs this summer and was contacted by a recruiter from g2 Recruitment about a position. This was a good match and that's the only reason they get 2 stars from me instead of 1. It was downhill from that point and a waste of my time. I told the recruiter that I was interested, send my CV and asked for more information, but there was no response for two weeks. Then another recruiter from g2 contacted me about the same position, but it was not sure if she had been in contact with the other one. Again, I said I was interested, send my CV and asked for new information. In the following week I got a call from a suppressed number (I never answer those) and then an email that she wanted to talk to me. Over the course of several weeks, I then tried to set up a phone conversation, but she did not call at the suggested time (instead at the wrong time, again only with suppressed numbers), did not react to my emails (didn't seem to have read them properly when she finally did), confused me with another person (!) with a totally different name, send me new information for totally different irrelevant positions and finally apologized and promised to call the next day, but she didn't. Then after a while she contacted me again and asked me to fill in some annoying form (would have taken me quite a while to fill everything in) because she wanted to urgently present me to a client (without even talking to me!), but at that point I had enough.
This company approached me after coming across my CV asking me if I was interested in a position. I found the entire experience with them to be terrible and would not recommend them at all. Reading other reviews since tells a similar story.
f....ing annoying people.. Won't stop spamming even if you unsubscribe..
SCAMMERS. Will only ever call you up to fish for information as to where else you have been interviewing. Fake jobs, fake conversations. Don’t waste your time
Clearly the company is far removed from categorizing the skill-set of their potential candidates. The whole thing boils down to unnecessary email bombardment with random positions/tech-stacks/professional qualities. Bottom line, they are not helping the job seeking process anyhow.
When you give notice and work say two weeks on notice you won't get paid. I was expecting payment for one of the weeks I worked while on notice and have not been paid. The usual so-called consultants are unavailable, payroll say they will look into then absolute silence. If you need to work with this G2 best to not give notice, make an excuse to say you are sick so they pay you because all you have is the ability to withdraw your labour but, if they know you are leaving they won't pay you the final payments. If G2 dispute this I will copy emails which have all been ignored.
The most unprofessional recruitment agency I’ve ever had the displeasure of dealing with. As an employer they showered me with CVS that didn’t match my skills criteria, hadn’t a clue about M&E. Told lie after lie on the phone and didn’t like to be challenged about it once the truth came out. All they want is to sign you up for lengthy contracts. Of the two people we did employ neither had a good word to say about G2 which totally mirrors my view and perception. Jake hasn’t a clue about customer service, and Jordon the junior as Jake describes him is only out to get a lengthy contract and a nice commission. Avoid these two at G2 in Manchester, sadly they give recruiters a bad name, we certainly won’t use them again.
Useless Agency. I never signed up with them and am now receiving daily spam for jobs that don’t match my experience.
Banch of losers Wishing you a cursed life to You all and families Sham, the manager in Amsterdam, karma will come back :)
Terrible. Send loads of emails yet never reply to applications. called me about one job application on a withheld number and left no voice message , confirmed it was them who had called and would be calling me back shortly but never did. Waste of time
Spams me LITERALLY THREE TIMES A DAY with e-mails about jobs that don't suit me at all. Had multiple conversations on the phone and via email with them, but they just ignore what you tell them about what you want and send you everything they have all the time.
A sales rep claimed they were referred to me by a friend. Turns out he did not refer them at all. Don't let these guys waste your time.
Very good cooperation. Martin is a decent person trying his best.
I had a great experience working with g2 recruitment, especially with Eleanor Baker who supported me in a very professional manner. It's pretty amazing stuff , and I don't know how she do it, but she could accelerate all the official process and helped me to join Biovotion AG in a short period of time. She was very supportive the entire time. After joining the company, she kindly continued to support me.

Jul 12,2021No feedback from them, for the honest recruiters it is a must to either reply to emails or to give a feedback after interview with customer. From my point of view, they are subaverage agency. There are many other better agencies out there.
