Not safe for me

Asking for my bank history it s a huge fraud because it s a sensitive information if it was for some credit history you can find them on the government website I gave the first 6 months during the covid and the HMRC past five years everything was ok and than after the wish for the good week end and will see for the available interviews once the employer in this case Morrisons meter reading answers we ll let you know Not even 10 minutes after another email by him by asking the bank statement from August until 25 October and I refused because there is called privacy and replied that I will show that once I got the interview appointment and give those details to a real person rather than someone who stays in office sat all day and thinking to be smarter of who is looking for a job desperately Definitely the most disgusting period of my life and those heartless people continuing their dirty business I wish you all good luck for the job hunting stay away from predators

I had a meeting this morning in Berlin

I had a meeting this morning in Berlin scheduled last week We had numerous email exchanges in the meantime Since I had already signed up with several similar staffing agencies without any results I requested to have a video interview instead They refused arguing that people from the company interested in my resume would be present and that I needed to be there in person They also asked me to bring my passport ID card tax number social insurance number health insurance card IBAN etc which is illegal and unnecessary without a signed contract which I told them but they dismissed it with nonsensical excuses and nonsense I arrived at the interview and another person greeted me not knowing my scheduled interview I asked to speak with Mr Engel and he told me that he would take the interview instead without any further explanation He had not read my resume and had no clue about the position I was being interviewed for The company that was supposed to be present was also not there of course I insisted on speaking with the person I had originally arranged the interview with My interlocutor seemed surprised and irritated by this simple request Eventually the person I was supposed to meet appeared He repeated the same nonsense that the lady who called me last week had said I asked him why the company in question was not there He responded with the same nonsense and aggressively asked me twice Aren t you looking for a job as if that was a substitute for a clear answer to my legitimate question designed to avoid addressing the blatant incoherence and misleading tactics by throwing in some guilt-inducing ridiculous question I thought it was a cheap psychological tactic I told him that I thought they were a serious company He then invited me to leave I complied immediately and said absolutely nothing I wasted 3 hours getting there and 8 euros in transportation which they of course will not reimburse This kind of agency should close down on the spot The general attitude of these two interlocutors was one of condescension and contempt I am still furious and disgusted by the entire experience These people think they have all the rights and that we are at their complete disposal I worked as a recruiter in another life and I would throw such people out immediately I gave them one star because there are no other options but they deserve absolutely none

My experience with Gi Group has been

My experience with Gi Group has been very disappointing The lack of professionalism and coordination within their team is evident as each member of the company provided me with different information Additionally they do not respond promptly when you ask questions or need clarifications They called me to ask if I was ready to start working and then I had to wait more than 24 days for them to tell me when I should sign the contract with the final company I would not recommend working with them as in my opinion their management leaves much to be desired Honestly even half a star would be too much

Asking for my NI and ID BIG RED FLAG

Asking for my NI and ID when no other recruitment agency has asked me for this before CV is usually good enough and the private information part is usually the employers responsibilty Major red flag Website kept getting flagged for phishing on my anti-virus when researching them just scetchy Not worth it for a warehouse job I m apparently over qualified for

Temporary Staff

I worked for GI Group in the UK for nearly six month and I have to say I am very disppointed with them as an employee Communication and legal paperwork is either not done or very late Trying to find out how must holiday you have accrued is rubbish and they are so late paying pension contributions I think any are doing something illegal I would NOT recommend them to anyone
