Centrally located office. Peer group is very good to work with. Some managers such as team leaders are very good and dependable.

You have to work crazy hours by the management a typical day starts either late at night or about 7am if you are lucky you will work all the way through to 4pm where you are giving a break of 6 hours until 10pm when you must switch your phone back on and start your shift for the next day again working over 18 hours in some cases dealing with all kinds of problems. You are also micro managed everyday but management is...

Advice to Management

Operations management add no benefit. Treat your staff as equals. CEO never seen or heard from.

Pros

I have nothing good to say about Noel Recruitment.

Cons

I worked in Noel Recruitment nearly 2 years and it was the worst job I have ever had. Company is traeting emplyees like slaves. They expect you will work since early morning untill late evenining and most weekends as weekend consultant is never avaialble or contacting you with many questions. I worked from the office since 9am to 5.30pm but was on the phone since 6am until 11pm. Very low salary, bonuses not achievable....

Advice to Management

Start treating your staff like people. We have our own lifes and can’t work 24 hours 7 days a week. Pay your staff good salary as they are doing hard work.

Pros

They connect unemployed people with work opportunities.

Cons

Work they provide requires a lot of commuting. For "new hires" there is very little care, support and information. Communication is sometimes on the hostile side and sense of hierarchy is noticeable. I personally feel like just a number to them and no respect and dignity is shown that I do the tough work so they can sit in the office and gossip.

Advice to Management

Offer training in assertive communication for your staff and remind them that they are benefiting of the back of hard workers who should be treated with respect.

Pros

you get paid and that is it

Cons

You work crazy hours with a phone ringing all the time. you have a phone on you that can ring any time of the day or night. you work 18 hours a day 5 days a week you can take time off between 4pm and 10pm when you are allowed divert your phone otherwise you a punching bag for the company.
