A Big Letdown with Personal - Here's Why
add_circle Pros
- The office is super convenient - it's right in the lobby of an office building
- The staff is friendly, I'll give 'em that
- They do have a website, which is a plus
- I did get a response to my initial inquiry, so that's something
- The agency is registered, so they're not entirely fly-by-night
- They're pretty easy to get in touch with, I'll give 'em that
remove_circle Cons
- The office is basically a one-man show, which is just not very professional
- There's no follow-up after you submit your application, which is super frustrating
- I felt like my opinion didn't matter, which is a major turn-off
- I didn't get any updates on the status of my application, which is just unacceptable
- The agency seems to be more interested in making a sale than actually helping you find a job
- It feels like they're just going through the motions

Editor's Summary
I've gotta say, I've had my fair share of experiences with recruitment agencies, but Personal was a total letdown. They're basically a one-man show, and don't even get me started on the lack of follow-up. As a client, you'd think they'd care about your opinion, but it feels like they just don't. I've had way better experiences with other agencies, and I'd recommend those over Personal any day.
Specifications
I've gotta say, I've sworn off using recruitment agencies, but life had other plans. I ended up contacting Personal. The name 'agency' implies a certain level of professionalism, but this place is a total disappointment. It's located in the lobby of an office building, with a staff of one - just one person. That's not the real issue, though. The problem is, as a client, can you even expect a follow-up call if you don't get the results you're looking for? It feels like they just don't care about your opinion of their work! The truth is, I've had better experiences with other agencies, and I'd recommend those over Personal any day.
