Computerfutures Reviews 68

They had different people reach out to me on LinkedIn at the same time, for a position that doesn't fit at all. They obviously have no clue what they're doing.

I had a great experience working with Dominic through Computer Futures. From the start, he was clear on expectations, next steps, and timelines, which made the onboarding process smooth and straightforward.

Dominic kept me regularly updated throughout, was quick to respond to questions, and made sure everything was in place ahead of my first day. That clarity and communication really helped remove any uncertainty and allowed me to focus on the role itself.

He was professional, approachable, and genuinely supportive throughout the process. I’d happily recommend Dominic to anyone working with Computer Futures or looking for a recruiter who is organised, transparent, and easy to work with.

Some really bad practice. Ringing up for a followup on roles and never get a response.

A applied for a job a contract postion in Liverpool, has a contractor I dont mind travelling.
but after covid this company has gone to regionlism and they dont look at your cv if dont live in the area which is totally wrong and needs to be addressed.
i live in the west midland where there there are hardly any contracts.

They contact you, call you, you send all required docs. They are friendly and let you know they contact you in a few days.

Yo never hear back and they do not reply.

Feels like a scam, so sorry I have sent my CV to them.

I started with a great experience with EM as he was looking to help me reach out to old colleagues for any future opportunities on a video call. EM rescheduled another call for today, but didn’t add a video link to the call. I emailed, messaged on LinkedIn and Teams and received no response. It feels like I got scammed with obtaining my contacts and then get ghosted. Not cool!

Unclear and Unprofessional Communication: Kyle's focus on talking about himself and his company, rather than taking time to understand your skills and background, is not standard practice for a recruiter. His dismissive attitude towards your InfoSec experience and not even attempting to say your name correctly after multiple corrections suggest a lack of professionalism.

Request for References Before an Interview: Asking for references before even having an interview or providing substantial details about the job is not common practice. Most reputable recruiters and companies understand that references are valuable and time-consuming, and they usually request them later in the hiring process. Your approach to protecting your references' time and efforts is both respectful and wise.

Disrespectful Behavior: Kyle's response to your feedback about your name was dismissive and rude. The fact that he laughed when you mentioned your InfoSec experience further shows a lack of understanding and respect for your professional background.
Recruiter, Kyle, was just phishing for information. Didn't really do more than quickly scan my resume during the conversation. He spent most of the call talking about himself and his company, and then what a great job this was (despite the fact that he really didn't have any information on it, just a few skills that their 'client' was allegedly seeing). He wasn't really interested in my skills or related experience that I called him out on it. He wouldn't even correctly say my name even after I corrected him 3 times. I then pointed this out, because he was acting strangely, and he responded, "Well, how would YOU say your name?" as if he might have a better idea, and my opinion on the matter was just my opinion. I said that my opinion on how my name should be said is actually fact. He then said, "How do people normally say your name?"

I then pointed out to him that he wasn't getting my references, despite his "policy" until I at least had an interview, and normally, it is after I am given an offer. He made it sound like I might have something to hide.
Here I am, someone with 23 years of experience talking with someone who is 23 years old, being talked to like I don't know the norms of recruitment and even how to say my own name.

I explained that I value my references' time, and would expect that my time should also be respected.
At that point, I confronted him and said that I don't believe he even had a job available and that I didn't wish to further tolerate unprofessional behavior.

Then I realized, back in February, I had another snarky, young recruiter claim he had a job with a company but that he submitted my resume twice (???) with the later one more "updated". And then he admitted that there wasn't really a job available yet, but that they are working on getting one posted and that he would let me know when they did this. I never heard back from him again. Totally ghosted and he did not respond to my messages after that.

The worst.
They advertise fake jobs online and just call to get your info - even when they already have you on their system.
Don’t waste your time with this lot.
I applied for a job last night, and they called to get some details about what I am looking for. Afterwards - nothing. They’ve done this twice.
Ugly tactics.

Computer Futures have been spamming me for months with irrelevant jobs but an email finally landed that was actually relevant so I sent my CV by return.

Not having heard anything I phoned them to ask what was going on with it and after five minutes of soporific hold music got through to the consultant who’d sent the email. He was barely coherent, sounded like he’d just been dragged out of bed and had no interest in speaking to me. Claimed he hadn’t received my CV and that someone else was actually looking after that role. It was like blood out of a stone to get him to give me that other agent’s email address but I got it and he hung up on me.

Still, one bad apple and all that. I forwarded the email on to the actual agent, got a one-line response asking when my last role in that sector was (which did make me wonder, given that the email she was replying to was a copy of my CV so she had that information right there) and then nothing. Not even the courtesy of a reply to say I wasn’t suitable.

From the other reviews here it seems like I’ve dodged a bullet to be honest. I guess the irrelevant emails will keep coming though.

The worst cowboy operation that I have had the misfortune to work with.
Complete and utter liars and useless. They just seem to want to use that old trick of collecting references and talking to them about potential roles.

Just avoid the whole of the group called STthree

Be careful of this group. They make fake interviews to collect your information and then disappear. Avoid at all costs.

I have never been this disappointed in any recruitment agency. The treatement and service meted out to me by Lorenzo and Adam was extremely poor and wicked.
Never have I worked with a recruitment agency that has been this incompetent, dishonest and good for nothing.
They wasted so much of my time and effort in attending an interview with a client, offered me the job, called to reduce the daily rate, discussed at length, called me over fifteen times for silly updates, dragged me into a follow up teams video call and all of a sudden went quiet on me.
Three weeks later and not even a call or update from these recruiters to say the job had been given to someone else. This is the level of service being rendered out by computer futures. This is what computer futures has become.
No one deserves to go through such time-wasting, dealing with dull-witted prevaricators as Lorenzo and Adam who hounded me with daily calls then all of a sudden completely cut me off.
I have never felf so used and discarded in all my years of my a professional project manager.

Computerfutures would take into account anything to make profit including destroying life and health of their imployers.

I have had the misfortune of working with Computer Futures several times over the years, and they never fail to disappoint. They are aggressive and dishonest in their pursuit of candidates, when often there is no job and they are simply loading the pipeline. What separates them from other agencies is their enthusiastic willingness to waste your time extravagantly. Avoid.

With an industry that sometimes has a sticky reputation, I am pleased to report my experience with CF so far has been very very good. Helpful, attentive, responsive, efficient and honest. I would , from my experiences this time, recommend them.

Computer Futures insist you have 2 million pounds of insurance before you can start a contract and then try and sell you 2 million pounds of insurance.

A recruiter from this company contacted my previous employer, without consulting with me first, asking for my old job back or if they have any open position for me...

Agent Shah-Sangram Bhakerd got hole my contact details possibly from system made up fake job and asked for my cv on email.
I called him to ask the client name though agent pretended he did not understand and kept on asking other question.
The claimed that he will give me the client name only after I have given him consent to represent to the client. The joker did not realize that client , rate and location is used by most people to decide if the job is fake or not.
The organization tries to find out whats going on in the market from cvs. This organisation Bunch of liar without job at hand yet call it a recruitment agency.

Once a day they called me for an intern job. Everything looks so good, but tot good to be true. They did not call me again and, after several messages trough LinkedIn and Telephone, it seems that the job was filled in/gone or something like that. Not my type of good work.
PS: it is not the whole company, but 1 employee.

the recruiter Jens completely broke his promise and never got back to me and ignored many of my messages that was crucial for me to decide a job.
Completely *hitty personality and his colleague just called me and didn't apologize properly either.Really *hitty recruiting firm
