While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

2 members of GCS staff have contacted me via LinkedIn recently regarding the same role.
Initially set up a call for a specific time, 5 hours after this time, a different person eventually called me but at this time I was unavailable. Subsequently a different staff member contacted me via direct message and I explained my reluctance to waste more of my time waiting for a call so he offered to email me information... and I’m still waiting for that.
It is a leap of faith using any recruitment company and using GCS proved to be just that for me.
A significant fee of over £6,500 gave me an experienced salesperson who claimed to be able to sell anything. In reality, I paid the fee and a good salary for probably the least effective salesperson I have encountered.
Other unchecked CV’s also offered.
Zero value for money, customers misled, and no reduced recruitment costs having employed for more than the qualifying 16 weeks.
Great business for GCS in the good times but
times do change.
Come on GCS and others, do more homework and offer better discount terms should you source a lemon.
Adam was kind and friendly in the manner that you dealt with me and I found him very proactive
Mike helped me on 2 occasions.
Every single time he managed to find a perfect fit for me.
I would highly recommend Mike and GCS Associates to anyone, well deserved 5 stars.
Very professional business who actually listen to your requirements. Mr Parry in particular is an asset to the company
GCS approached me via Linkedin to discuss a role they were recruiting. They were initially convincing in their description of the opportunity but similarly they were honest, transparent & professional. The whole process was as described with an interview process that was slick and efficient. The Candidate Pack they gave me detailing the role and real insight into the business I was to join was something I've never seen before. Thanks guys.
Mike and Dan have been incredibly helpful and have kept me in the loop throughout the entire process and found me a great job, they have also answered all questions and queries which i have had along the way.
