    Have been asked to go in and see them tomorrow about a job I applied for today . I did look through the big thread about agencies but couldn't find any mention of them so if anyone has had any experience with them at all would be great to find out !!

    Expect your job to be withdrawn magically over night... somehow... They will then shed a tear and say how sorry they feel for you, they will continue to ring you with "Oh I have a job here for you, I am going to put your details forward... waffle waffle waffle more bullsh!t...." and you don't hear from them again. Nice people, but nice doesn't do it anymore...

    I am pretty wary alright but seeing as these are the first to actually acknowledge me I might go in and see what they have to say. Not much else to be doing tomorrow anyway!!!

    This is exactly my experience with them.

    OP: If you are scared easily? stay away from their office on Baggot street, it's run down and scary, they should open it at Halloween to kids, they'd make more money than doing "recruitment".

    They are the only agency that have actually sent me to real interviews, however the advice and information they gave me about the roles I was being sent to was incorrect and the roles irrelevant to my qualifications. They do stay in contact though, which is something. Go to the interview, its good practice if nothing else.

    They're a joke.Rang me a few weeks ago with some mystery job, didn't hear anything about it again. Then called last week with no job for me but asking me for details of people who worked in positions in the company I currently work for. An absolute sham of a company but that's to be expected from recruiters.

    Had very similar experiences. They brought me in about a specific job that apparently was live but then I got there and she told me I would be suitable for the position she had but that she couldnt tell me who the company was - had a load of phone calls again about jobs that were there and then they weren't. They have loads of jobs up on Irish Jobs etc but when you ring about them none of them are actually live. There offices are a complete dump aswell which I think is pretty indicitive of how bad they are. They sent me for an interview before but the job spec they gave me was completely inaccurate!My advice is to stear well clear unless you want to completely waste your time!
