Was lied to in the interview, where they told me they had "never not placed someone" on the Testing graduate scheme - 2 out of 20 were placed on my course.
Was sent to interviews I didn't want to attend with a fake CV and instructed to lie on their behalf. The jobs were the opposite of the sector I'd requested, and one would have forced me to commute 2 hours each way or relocate, when I had already put down a non-refundable deposit on a new flat - which they knew about.
They take a significant amount of your salary - what you get paid is fixed, but what the company you are outsourced to pays the recruiters varies on the company. They can make up to 16k a year on a job, while you only make 22k.
They train you for free but then hold the threat of you owing them 12k over your head - as if the course is actually worth that, and isn't just an arbitrary number they made up.
Contract that you sign is ridiculous - states you cannot enter into ANY other contract, take any extra form of employment and leaves you unable to sign on for unemployment benefits while you wait for them to find you a job. By signing you basically agree to 6 months of unemployment with no pay whatsoever.
