Rise Technical Recruitment - www.risetechnicalrecruitment.co.uk

I initially found the role I was interested in advertised by Rise Technical on a job board and made a 1-click application. TBH I wasn't expecting a reply as most of my applications this way have got lost in the eather. She got back to me that day and after a discussion my CV was submitted to their client.

The interview was arranged quickly and with the beauty of Teams, I could fit it in around my then current role. Due to a few technical issues, I wasn't that hopeful after the interview (I had given better interviews and not gotten jobs previously)but she remained positive and sought feedback for me which was reassuring. All through the interview AND hiring process she came back to me quickly with answers to my questions. I am three weeks into my new contract now, it is going great, with more challenge and growth opportunity than I originally thought.

Excellent and efficient interview and hiring process with her help, Thank you

I received a call, a voicemail and an email advising that I had been shortlisted for a job. I called back half an hour later but no response. Having tried three more times unsuccessfully, I called again from a different number. This time, there was still no answer, but the consultant immediately phoned back. After advising who I was and which job it was regarding, I was immediately cut off and, perhaps needless to say, never heard from the company again.

Everything went really well. He was very helpful, and communicative, and thanks to his effort, I got a job with lot of opportunities and trainings involved. I would definitely recommend Rise Technical Recruitment to anyone, as It is a good company with a great team that wants to negotiate the best conditions for the employees.

We found the service appalling. Poorly selected candidate. Refused to replace. Aggressive rather than apologetic.

I would not used them again.

I applied for a vacancy through Rise Recruitment, they said they had forwarded my details to the company in question. I was then approached by a different recruitment company who actually forwarded my details on, I was offered the job and accepted. I asked if the company had received my details from Rise Recruitment and they confirmed they never received my application! If you want to be put forward for a job DO NOT, I cannot stress this enough, DO NOT use Rise Recruitment!

The organisation of interviews was good, though the particular person I was in contact with was obviously very busy, as there didn't seem to be much time in regards to care. When it came to making a decision between two jobs one from Rise Technical and the other from another organisation then I suddenly got more care and longer discussions with a tone that felt more open.

To phrase more aptly. I felt like I wasn't cared about until it actually mattered if they would get their cut.

However in saying this, the service does deliver and has been more organised than other services I have used.

Not great, Not bad, just good.

Hopeless total lack of communication and you think you have applied but they have done nothing and not sent your CV or application to the company. Never Again. Removed myself from their books.

Like many agencies, they advertise jobs that do not exist, they ad could be several years old, they just want to get candidates onto their books.

The other thing they might try to do is ask questions about your references and get contact details with a view to selling them their services, a very bad idea if you want to keep former employers on side.

I had a conversation with them regarding a potential position and basically I was asked what i'd done before and what sort of equipment i'd used, because the consultants are mostly not technical, they work from a list and if you don't mention one thing, no matter how simple (like knowing how to use a soldering iron) they'll tell you your not right for the role.

For one role I was told that I didn't have PCB design experience, despite having my own PCB design/etching equipment at home and despite having a successful Youtube channel dedicated to designing and building electronics projects.

But again, being fair to them, all this is no different to most recruitment agencies and indeed most office spaces, these admin types don't understand what engineers do, we're seen as "dirty workers" and not as innovators.

One of the best agency's around. Looked after and helped me a lot.the person I dealt with risk is my contact there. He is one of the best people I have dealt with and I have been contracting for 12 years. Hes helpful and very knowledgable and a massive credit to his company. I believe he should be management.

I like all those below have had no response from Rise in ref with a job that I am fully qualified and capable of doing.

This job has been advertised for several months and I have applied several times and even rang to speak to Mr Dawson who must be a very busy man as he is either in meetings or not there and never returns his calls, maybe he should employ a secretary to organize his day.

I received an email from Rise today with the a fore mentioned job so i rang Rise and to my surprise Mr Dawson was one again in meetings this is after the chap who answered the phone said yes i could talk to him.....surly the offices are not that big that you cannot see across the room.

Overall this company are not worth the phone call and i feel sorry for the people who use them, quick buck and run company who obviously do not vet C.Vs sent to them very well.
