I turned 30 last year and decided to retrain to pursue a career change into web development. I signed up to Give a Grad and met Tyler who helped onboard me. Tyler was super thoughtful & efficient and he gave me a low-down on how things worked. Within weeks Joe called me and recommended a suitable role he thought i'd be a good fit for. I was hesitant at first about the role as the company were asking for a lot of skills but, together with Joe's expert knowledge of the client and some kind reassurance to quash my self-doubt, we went for it. I was invited for three separate interviews and was offered the role! The company was perfectly suited to me, my ambitions, my personality and the way I enjoy working so, I'm over the moon. Joe played a key role in helping me along the way. He was kind, thoughtful, encouraging and so helpful, I can't thank him enough. At every step Joe was on the phone wishing me luck, giving me genuinely helpful insight and candid advice for each step. Prior to retraining I had worked for lots of companies in relatively senior roles and I have never had such a genuine and positive experience in a recruitment process. Joe is a real pro at his craft and is a testament to Give a Grad a Go. Thanks Joe!

I wanted to give a fantastic review to Lottie at GAGAO. She kept me well informed, motivated and positive throughout the entire interview process. From daily check ins, thorough email summaries and potential questions I was throughly prepared for each step in the process which allowed me to excel. This has undoubtably been the best recruitment process I have had and it is all down to Lottie. Highly highly recommend if you need to progress to the next stage in your career.

I am really impressed with the service provided by Give A Grad A Go. Of all the recruitment services and sites I signed up to in my post-degree job search, I found them to be the most involved, helpful and relevant in aiding my job search. My recruiter Sam Hickson was incredibly helpful and involved in my interview process for a software developer role at a thriving startup in London. He was open and helpful with advice throughout all three interviews, and very fast at setting up meetings and providing information. After a expedient but not rushed series of interviews, I was able to secure the job offer which provided a competitive salary and fantastic benefits, with work arrangements perfectly suited to my position as a recent graduate. I can highly recommend this recruitment service to any recent graduate who is struggling with other recruitment options, where every "entry level" role seems to need 5+ years of experience. Give A Grad A Go actually does what they say they do, and they do it well.

Sam Hickson was really great to work with, he called within a few days of registering on the site, and about a week later he landed me a job as a junior developer.

Absolutely wonderful agency. Cat was very attentive and efficient and took all of my worries seriously, I was in and out in less than a month after struggling with other agencies for almost half a year. Absolutely lovely to work with.

Absolutely brilliant recruitment agency! I was only registered with them for about a week or so before agent got in touch with me about a role he thought I'd be a great fit for - a couple of weeks later, I landed the job! Cannot stress highly enough how great GAGAGO were. He made the whole process incredibly straightforward, listened to my needs/wants from a new role, gave me brilliant interview preparation material and was great at checking in one me and keeping me in the loop. Would recommend GAGAGO to anyone - not necessarily graduates, but also those looking to start a new career!

I was approached by this recruitment agency several times. The first time I was pushed to interview for a business development cold calling job. With 10+ years professional experience and account manager experience, I made this clear to the team that I do not want to go back to cold calling and that I am looking for a senior account manager / director role. The second time I heard from them I spoke with Pheobe and Christine. It looked like they had the perfect role for me, an account manager role at an AI tech firm with commission, a high basic salary and managing existing clients. I was really excited and went through with the interview however the CTO I interviewed with kept referencing back to prospecting and even mentioned that I would hand customers over to the account managers? Huh, I thought, I've been sent a job spec that I am going for the account manager role! Before I could question this, he had to leave. I spoke to Phoebe about this as I was not suspicious that I didn't actually interview for the role that was positioned and reality, I have just wasted my precious time interviewing for another cold calling job, when I had been sold a dream of an Account Manager role. Christine called me back and double checked this when I questioned it, she mentioned that the CEO was mentioning an AM role but somewhere along the way wires were crossed and they're actually looking for an account executive role and its a 360 role with cold calling. Oh and the basic salary was poor but and no where near what was shared with me. Safe to say I was furious as it wasn't my problem that they miscommunicated. The bottom line is that they presented an account manager role with a certain pay package and had me interview for a completely different role. I fed back that this was extremely unprofessional, misleading and all they did was waste my time.

Have applied through them for several positions and have been ghosted/rejected with zero useful feedback. The first time I was contacted by a Manager who was quite keen on forwarding my application, once I did I never heard back from him, even after following up multiple times. I applied several times after that, even before they revamped their website, and never even got rejection emails. I have now decided to go back and apply for one more position with their revamped website and again a couple of weeks have passed with no response. It is discouraging to see so many non-responses, and to not even once know what you have done wrong.

I am so so impressed with the work Saira has done for me at Give A Grad A Go. From start to finish she has been encouraging, supportive, and offered plenty of useful advice regarding interview prep. Within a week she helped me secure an amazing job, and I could not be more pleased! Totally recommend Saira if you are searching for your next role.

The team at Give a Grad a Go were a tremendous help to me in securing an Account Executive role in London. Christie Brooks was in regular communication with me and helped me prepare for/reflect on every step of the application process and I can't thank her enough for her diligent work and support. The wider team were of great help to me in considering various roles and I am grateful to Christie for helping me to secure the best fit for me personally. I recommend Give a Grad a Go very highly and would encourage everyone to utilise their fantastic service and welcome the support of their experienced and valuable team!

Working with Give A Grad A Go was the most straightforward recruitment process I’ve ever been part of. Anna Bainbridge was always on hand if I had any questions and followed up with both me and the company after every step of the process. I never felt left out of the loop and I think from application to offer it only took about 3 weeks!

Rachel has supported me throughout my application process and I couldn’t thank her enough. She provided me with words of encouragement, checked up on me and really helped me prepare for the interview. I felt this personalised approach was outstanding and demonstrated how much the career service is really there for students. I am grateful that I had Rachel as my career advisor supporting me throughout my job journey, and I would recommend her to anyone.
