This agency is one of the worst culprits for spamming utterly irrelevant candidates to me unprompted. I don't know what they're teaching their new hires over there, but it's clearly not anything good.... See more

Contract terms changed after travel

I had a disappointing experience with Darwin Recruitment regarding a contract opportunity in Florida. Based on the terms discussed, I traveled for the role, but after I arrived, key details changed, including pay rate, contract terms, residence requirements, and relocation/housing per diem expectations.

The housing/per diem support I understood to be part of the agreement was not honored, and I personally absorbed hotel and travel-related costs that were not reimbursed.

A major lesson learned: candidates should request all pay, per diem, housing, travel reimbursement, schedule, and residence requirements in writing before traveling or committing to a contract role.

I’m sharing this so others can protect themselves and confirm all terms in writing before making financial or travel commitments.

We’re sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience.

We always aim to be transparent throughout the recruitment and onboarding process and, where possible, support both our clients and contractors when projects are moving quickly. In this instance, there were a number of moving parts relating to project timelines, onboarding requirements, commercial terms, and start dates, which were still being finalised between all parties.

As discussed at the time, travel to Florida from Texas took place before final confirmation had been provided and prior to us authorising relocation. Despite this, we still stepped in to assist with accommodation costs during the interim period to help support the situation and keep the opportunity moving forward.

Unfortunately, the client ultimately decided not to proceed with the assignment. While we appreciate that this was frustrating for everyone involved, some of the points raised in your review do not fully reflect the wider circumstances surrounding the project and the discussions that took place throughout the process.

That said, we do agree with the importance of ensuring contractual terms, expenses, and project details are clearly documented before committing to travel or relocation, and this is something we actively encourage with all contractors.

We wish you all the best moving forward and appreciate the feedback.

I had a great experience with Darwin…

I had a great experience with Darwin Recruitment, and I especially want to highlight Laura Cannon. She was amazing throughout the entire process, very professional, supportive, and always communicative. She made everything smooth and straightforward, and I always felt well-informed at every stage. A genuinely great candidate experience from start to finish.

Asha!!!

I worked with Asha and she put me in contact with one of if not the best company I’ve had the pleasure of working for. The process was seamless and took about a week and a half from start to finish. I’d recommend her to any company who wants to work with an amazing recruiter. Communication was constant and i was always informed!

Professional and transparent recruitment support

Darwin has been a great recruiting company to work with. Alex approached me with relevant Software and Platform Engineer roles and stood out for a transparent, professional, honest, and genuinely human approach. The communication was clear, the opportunities were interesting, and the employers they work with seem strong. Overall, a very positive experience.

Darwin made the difference during my job search

I worked with Jack Kindell during my recent search for a Photonic Engineer role, and his support was invaluable. Jack didn’t just pass along job listings; he provided high-caliber contacts and strategic guidance that truly shaped my approach. Thanks to his intervention, I’ve secured a fantastic role with a company that is a perfect fit. I would absolutely seek Jack’s expertise again in the future and highly recommend him to any specialist in the photonics space!

A reliable partner- highly recommended

I was contacted by Thomas with Darwin at a perfect time when a contract was about to expire, and he was very helpful in making the transition to a new one, with a foreign client. We have been working together for years now, and I have never felt more at home than with the Darwin staff (Tom, Alex, Paul and Adam) developing services, delivering value and creating business for our client. Darwin ties reliability with curiosity, professionalism with humor. Highly recommended.

Excellent support securing contracts with enterprise clients

I’ve been working with Lucy at Darwin Recruitment for years now across several different contracts, and I keep coming back because she is just great to work with.

She recently helped me get set up with a client in Germany, and made the whole process incredibly smooth. She’s excellent at keeping the enterprise clients happy while making sure I’m taken care of too.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, long-term recruitment partnership.

Darwin should be your go-to.

Rob with Darwin is someone I would go to again and again if I had to. He reached out to me with the perfect opportunity at the perfect time. He kept me updated along the entire process and generally was a pleasure to work with. No hassles like you’d expect from another recruiter either. I couldn’t recommend anyone better than Rob with Darwin, honestly I really owe him one for the opportunity he put right on my lap!

Darwin Recruitment - Slick & Professional

I worked with Darwin Recruitment, and specifically William, during a recent engagement that resulted in me securing the Dorina role.

From the outset, William was diligent in following up with the client and kept communication open before, during, and after introductions and onboarding. He always responded promptly, with no walls of silence, which is surprisingly rare these days and genuinely appreciated.

What stood out most was that William clearly put my needs and interests first. He acted as a true representative and advocate throughout the process, rather than simply pushing for a placement. The whole journey from initial conversation through to onboarding was slick, well managed, and handled with real professionalism.

It was a genuine pleasure working with William, and I look forward to continuing to work with him and Darwin Recruitment on future assignments.
