Not only do they practise contract-gutting, but they also try not to pay you. Here is how: in their contract they have a clause that stipulates that you must enter the client-approved hours in the Vivid portal within two weeks, or else you forfeit pay. The hours of the last week that I worked at an assignment were duly approved by the client and entered in the Vivid portal (I doublechecked the portal entry before I wrote the invoice). Yet, they ignored my invoice for several months, despite numerous reminders. Apparently, their portal was empty: my client-approved hours were gone. I then had to contact the client to ask him to approve these hours again. He was good enough to confirm by email, and Vivid had to pay, giving no good reason why the hours were removed from the portal! Without the client's repeat approval Vivid would not have paid me; that's why they have that sly clause in their contract that works when they remove the approved hours you entered. And, be forwarned, they refuse to make changes to the contract for you. I.e. you have no choice if you need the job that you were offered; you go on blind faith and hope for the best. With the job offer, Vivid has you by the balls, so to speak, and this is how they abuse good consultants: with contract-gutting and with portal entry deadlines to justify non-payment. The damage this may cause is serious and long lasting.

I had the misfortune of dealing with Vivid Resourcing / G2V Recruitment Group Limited, and my experience was nothing short of appalling. After countless calls and emails, which included providing detailed personal information, sending CVs, and even recommendation letters, I never heard back from them regarding any job opportunities.

It became apparent that their only interest was in gathering as much personal data as possible, including the names of my past managers and interactions with other recruiting companies, under the guise of helping me find a job. This information was then seemingly used for unknown and likely illegitimate purposes.

Their complete lack of professionalism and failure to follow through on promises makes me suspect they are engaged in fraudulent activities. It's clear they have no intention of actually helping candidates secure roles; instead, they exploit job seekers for their personal information.

I strongly advise against engaging with Vivid Resourcing / G2V Recruitment Group Limited. They are not to be trusted, and I urge others to be cautious when dealing with this company.

Unprofessional and just ring you to collect data of places where you work. They always ask "who's the manager there right now". Do your own work? I say "I'm busy" or " just about to start work" and they just ignore that.
If I was a business I would NOT instruct these cowboys. They seem to employ mumbling teenagers who don't seem to know how we work as professionals

Vivid Resourcing. DO NOT go anywhere near this company. They deliberately fail to listen to candidates instructions, they scan your details to make speculative applications that you have not authorised them to do so, they lie to employers and candidates about roles that do not exist. Despite telling them to stop calling me and to not search or look for roles, they continuously harass people, calling them sometimes daily for weeks and weeks on end, texting, messaging privately, and using colleagues to message you when you block their number. Their behaviour should be reported to the police for harassment. A wholly unprofessional organisation. I am considering putting in a formal complaint against this company.

Another report to the ICO for breaching confidentiality and persistent non solicited email absolutely disgraceful behaviour

attention do not pay bills. Only after 3 reminders and a lawyer do they only want to pay 20%. The matter is now before the court in Munich. A very dubious store.

They are very unprofessional and they disturb any time,without respecting someones time and privacy.
I am not sure how is allowed that someone just call like that.
When they offered cooperation they did not say anything about role or company, 2 hours before meeting sent me link about company,with not correct Position for me.
At meeting guy from Vivid Resoursing did not turn on camera,as well as interviewer.
I am not sure with who I spoke, that name I didn't find anywhere.
They just try to get contacts,names from previous employers ,Managers and they are very boring and unprofessional

Although they are friendly, they are stalking me.
They do not understand it when I say no we are not working together

Do not use this outfit. They are unprofessional and behave in a very unethical manner. They scammed me out of two weeks and two days pay. Be careful as a company or candidate using these people. I was warned about them. Will never use them again. I would rate them -5.

2 stars because they did find us a very good consultant, but their communication style is absolutely horrendous: multiple e-mails and phone calls in 1 day, it's borderline harrassment. Asking for details which we have already supplied them twice, keep using the wrong contact person, ...
For that, I would give them -5 stars if I could.

I’ve applied for numerous jobs through this recruitment agent without a single interview. They are clearly advertising fake jobs in order to harvest information on prospective employees. Don’t trust them!!

Took a stop gap short term contract role through them to make ends meet.
All set up, bank details, right to work sent on two occasions.
First time sheet submitted and signed off but today no money.
First claimed hadn’t got required documents then stalled until it was too late to be paid.
I’d avoid working through them , their operation is chaotic and they lie.

Terrible and untrustworthly recruitment company to work with, the consultants all seem to be clueless and inexperienced. They contact me often with jobs that never materialized into anything and ask a lot of personal questions and request for references, not so they can verify you, but so they can try to expand their database. I believe they create fake jobs and sell candidates details on to third parties. Would only use as a last resort. I also don't know anyone that's ever worked for them. Avoid avoid avoid!

Some facts and figures about an unfortunate experience I had with VIVID RESOURCING recently:
13 emails over 9 days and a pointless discussion with a consultant, where he kept asking me about contact details of a referee, before he could send off my job application. However, he refused to understand that I already had a recommendation in LinkedIn from the very same person. In conclusion after all of the above, all I got was the following cryptic feedback:

“The client has decided to look for other options”

Note that I am not even my details have ever been sent to the client, whereupon I never gave them my consent to do so.

What a gigantic waste of time.

Shocking Communications. Vivid Resourcing have been sending me unsolicited e-mails relating to job opportunities. I've formerly asked them to stop this and yet, despite having received my e-mails over the course of several weeks, they have completely failed to respond. This is a really appalling way to treat data subjects whose personal information they're processing.

UPDATE - After almost 2 MONTHS I finally received a response and confirmation that my details had been removed form their database. But only after I made a written complaint to the ICO. Terrible company, very poor communication and incredibly lackadaisical attitude to data protection.

Data Harvesting...

The company's modus operandi is to advertise fake jobs in order to harvest candidates resumes and broker the candidates data to third parties.

The company operates under the guise of a recruitment agency to infiltrate unsuspecting job site platforms to gather intel, post fake jobs and spam registered job site candidates with fake jobs.

I've been answering calls from Vivid for the last two years or so. Every time, I have politely told them I am unavailable as my current contract is extended for an undetermined time. I've asked them to write this down so I wouldn't have to explain this to them every time they called. At least 5 different employees have called me about this, each failing to look up my details, resulting in the same conversations.

This is a waste of each other's time and I kindly request Vivid to respect the limited time and take more care in respecting their relationships. I've been forced to put them on my block list now. We are on a "don't call us - we'll call you" terms. I hope I have made myself clear. There are plenty of other recruitment agencies out there respecting these wishes - it's about time Vivid met their level or be prepared to lose valuable contacts.
