Great agency to work for

Great agency to work for. They’ve kept me in work every time I’ve needed them in the past. Take this time. I’ve been out of work 4+ years. Went in on a Thursday to re-register, had me working Monday in a job I enjoy. Good communication via online or daily messages from them. No problems or worries at all. 5 stars all day.

My experience with Derek!

A gentleman named "Derek" at the Luton branch has been amazing to me. He's been very clear with what needs to happen, what kind of documents to bring & overall been super duper helpful with the process!

Having experienced Derek's kind hearted assistance throughout the process, I really look forward to working along side Best Connections from here on out!

Thank you so much for all your help!

I Highly Recommend The Best Connection (Leicester Branch)

I cannot recommend The Best Connection highly enough. They were all very professional and polite at all times. After recently being made redundant, Lee (Leicester Branch), helped me to secure the role I wanted for the company I wanted to work for after setting an interview up for me following my application - thank you so much! The whole process of applying and filling in the relevant paperwork was straightforward too and from applying to being told I have the job was only a matter of days.

I also need to thank Simon (Leicester Branch) as he initially spoke with me about my CV and went through a couple of options. Thank you all very much!

I contacted best connection not too long ago now they had me in for a quick chat about my experience in work and was willing to offer me a full time job, they were really understanding. Most importantly John was really understanding and found me a job in a matter of days which I really appreciate and I’m doing great in the job I’m at now, if it wasn’t for best connection and John I would still be out of work.
Thanks kean
