While we generally avoid engaging with reviews that are clearly written with a personal agenda, this one - penned by someone who spent over three years with us stirring up conflict - deserves a firm rebuttal.
Let’s start with the contradictions. It's fascinating that someone claiming we are “obsessed with ex-employees” continues to reach out to current staff, uninvited, despite being repeatedly asked to move on. Projection, perhaps?
The claim about “cameras that listen to you” is a personal favourite - equal parts paranoid and imaginative. For the record, our CCTV is standard, like in any other professional setting. We’re a recruitment firm, not MI5.
As for “you can’t talk about issues” - that may have felt true for someone who preferred to focus on office gossip, and food blogging rather than performance reviews or team collaboration. When feedback was given constructively and professionally, it was either ignored or met with hostility. So yes, there came a point where the message became: “if you don’t like it, maybe this isn’t the place for you.” That’s not a flaw - that’s clarity.
The insinuation about holiday entitlement is also amusing. It’s disappointing (though not surprising) to see someone still bitter about not being invited on a company trip they weren’t eligible for. Perks are earned through performance, not tenure or tantrums. Staff who have received promotions, also have an increased leave allowance, it's another perk & incentive we offer. Staff are not permitted to take unpaid leave, despite what you seem to think.
The suggestion that glowing reviews are fake is an easy dismissal tactic. Fortunately, those who actually worked hard, treated colleagues with respect, and didn’t rely on AI to scrape through professional qualifications (yes, we heard about that too) tend to have more positive things to say.
To the person behind this: we are relieved to finally be free from your daily drama and toxic, manipulative behaviour. You created a negative atmosphere during your time here, despite multiple chances and warnings to improve. We hope - sincerely - that you find peace, perspective, and something better to do than relive your employment here through falsehoods and unsolicited contact with former colleagues.
We’ve moved on. We suggest you do the same.
