A total fraud of a recruitment firm. If you ask 100 CRAs what they thought of this fraud you would the same exact reply by all 100 of them.

Critical: Professionalism
Terrible customer service. Zero recruitment professionalism - in particular their narcissistic director Chris King who thinks he knows it all, but clearly doesn't.

I started working at Barrington James 1 year ago, I initially joined the Contracts Academy Team to develop my recruitment skills, particularly within Business Development.
I previously worked as an internal recruiter elsewhere and was dubious about Recruitment Agencies, however, Barrington James has changed my view entirely. Since starting, I have seen my sales skills go from strength to strength and I am still continuing to develop these skills.
I now work within a team of skilled recruiters and am currently above my yearly target. I know that I can put this down to the training I have received

Had a very bizarre experience with this company. Received a call this morning and the caller didn't explain what they wanted very well; it took me a while to realise it was a recruiter. She then didn't explain what the role was she wanted to discuss despite my asking a few times, I was then promised an email with the details and a follow up call. Email comes in addressed to Grace which I thought maybe had just been sent to the wrong person but apparently it WAS for me, she just got my name wrong which isn't very professional. I mentioned this expert to a few friends who also had either weird or

If you take the time to read these reviews, the good ones are from within the company and the others are from actual people who have had somewhat negative experiences with this company. I am not the only person to point this out.
About a year ago they found my CV online when I was job searching and managed to convince to listen to a 20 minute spiel about what they do, and that I should come for an interview. It did pique my interest a little so I went along as no harm done for one 40 minute interview. The "manager" was a woman hardly older than me (mid 20s) dressed very informally, tried very

Great company to both work for, and to work with. Consultants are professional, highly knowledgeable in their areas of expertise, and only provide the best service.

I've worked as an Internal Recruiter at BJ for 10 months now, and I can honestly say I haven't worked at a better company. You are given huge opportunities very early on in your career, things that you would have to wait years for at another business. The managers, directors, CEO + COO are very invested in staff and I've never felt like a number here or that my ideas would be ignored.
Huge shout out to Dean and Josh for their management and support in my rec career so far. Couldn't have done it without you guys.

I joined the business in 2011 and have successfully climbed the ranks from Consultant to Associate Director. BJ is easily the most ambitious company I've ever worked for. Expectations and standards are high. I'm confident that we'll achieve our business goals and will in turn provide more clients/candidates with our exceptional recruitment services.

I worked for Barrington James as an Internal Recruiter for my placement year from university. I could not have asked for a better experience! I learnt and developed multiple new skills whilst working within a fantastic team. I hope to return to the company once I have completed my final year of my Business degree. I would recommend this company to any ambitious graduates who want to work for a global company.
Major shout out to Dean Govier (an Associate Director) for his constant help and support!

I am approaching the end of my 7 week Internship at Barrington James and I have had a great experience, learnt a lot and been given a great insight into the world of recruitment. Before joining BJ I was skeptical due to the occasional person not having the best things to say about their experiences working within recruitment but I can safely say I have been proved completely wrong. I have had great training and assistance whenever I had needed it and never once felt out of my depth (big thanks to Dean Govier for being a fun, outgoing, yet informative and helpful manager).
The opportunities, the
