"Exceptional communication and guidance…"

Exceptional communication and guidance through the whole recruitment process. Everyone in the team is extremely friendly and professional. I would like to thank Archie especially for helping me and I will definitely recommend Pareto to all my friends!

"Just avoid! Extremely unprofessional "

Worst recruiter I have spoken with in a while.
I had a call with K who was extremely rude and unprofessional on the phone. If your job is to help people find jobs the least you would expect is to speak with someone with a little bit of empathy.
Recruitment is money motivated yes, but don’t make it your whole personality to the point it is so visible to candidates.
Just avoid-waste of time

"6 hour assesment day to be put forward for 1 interview... then get ghosted"

The main issue with this agency in smaller cities like Edinburgh is their lack of clients. They promise that passing their assessment day proves your sales ability; they'll put you forward for multiple interviews; and work tirelessly to find you a role. However, outside London or Manchester, they struggle to deliver, leaving you doing a lengthy assessment day only to be put forward for one role.

Despite claims of new opportunities arising frequently, months after an unsuccessful interview with their sole Edinburgh client, they failed to secure any further interviews. Their focus seems to be on commission; once their initial efforts are done, communication drops off completely. They are attentive when there's a chance to earn money from you but lose interest once prospects fade, showing little courtesy or follow-through.

Before committing to an assessment day, confirm that they have multiple clients in your area and be prepared for a lack of transparency. While their focus on clients' success is understandable, their habit of misleading and ghosting candidates highlights their incompetence and contributes to the negative reputation of recruitment agencies.

"Very poor experience"

Was invited to the Wednesday audition. Was successful. Got contacted by Pareto recruiter time and time again with opportunities. Each one failed to follow-up with more information when I said I was interested in pursuing. Churn and burn. No care for the humans they are dealing with. After getting a call from my 6th recruiter, I got some luck and was able to schedule an interview with an interested company. Nailed my interview and was invited back for a second. I was told time and time again by a recruiter that she would follow up with a time for the 2nd interview. After not receiving a call, I followed up. No answer, but I left a VM. I also sent an email in support. Nothing came back. I called again. Emailed again. Called again. All over a ten-day span. Nothing. Complete radio silence. So I reached out to the guy I interviewed with on linkedin, but he told me that everything had to go through Pareto. I was baffled, confused, and frustrated. Not only had I I put loads of time and effort into preparing for the audition with Pareto, but I put twice that into my interview. The letdown was immense and demoralizing. How Pareto is able to operate like this and get away with it is beyond me. I hope something is done. Remember, you are dealing with real humans that have to manage their lives in conjunction with getting a job. We are not robots with quotas.

"Had a phone call!"

Had a phone call, the lady on the phone discussed the process of how it all works and I said it sound great, she then went on to say ‘why aren’t you saying it’s amazing, but instead it’s just great’. So patronising when I had no questions. Can tell they want that commission and are forcing things in your head.

"Perfect for new grads!"

Pareto have been absolutely fantastic at helping me secure my first job since graduating university, even though I had no prior sales experience! Harvey was amazing at walking me through the process, and everyone else was also super friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend to any grad searching for that first job as there is so much more emphasis on your potential rather than your CV being the defining factor!

"Have recently used Pareto for a…"

Have recently used Pareto for a graduate role. The process was very easy and secured an interview with the client company very quickly. James and Hanah were both very useful in making sure I was well equipped and informed for the interview.

"My experience with Pareto "

I had a positive experience securing a graduate role with Pareto. The staff were very helpful and professional. They prepared me well on what to expect and how to gear myself for success on the assessment day. In addition, they were there to answer any queries I had in a promo manner. I would recommend Pareto for all those looking to secure a graduate role.

Special thank you to Prince and Mesha for all there hard work and advice in landing me my role!

"Harvey from Pareto "

Harvey from Pareto is amazing. Not only is his name great, but he has been great throughout the process. Harvey kept me up to date and constantly reassured me. Give this man a raise!
