Essential Employment made all the difference in my journey to a permanent role with Kirklees Council. From day one, Beth, Maggie, and AJ were professional, responsive, and truly caring. They took the time to fully understand the role and walked me through every detail, especially when it came to payroll and onboarding questions. Their support didn’t just get me the job — it set me up to succeed. I’m now thriving as a Passenger Assistant, and I’ll always be grateful for their guidance. Highly recommend!” 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I had a great experience with Essential Employment. I was reached out to for an exciting opportunity and was helped at every step of the way to landing the job. Bethany Fuller was a fantastic help and I really appreciated it.

Very happy with the Service. Verity contacted me after finding my CV online, she knew I would be a perfect fit for this role, now 6 month later I have a permanent role. AJ in payroll was also always very helpful. Big thank you to the Essential Team :)

Avoid this place. Having read the reviews and 1 star ratings I can see nothing has changed. Bethany Fuller a very rude and highly unprofessional consultant who is very quick to jump to conclusions and make false assumptions. She made the process more difficult than it needed to be. This has been by far my worst experience with an agency I have ever come across. It is not the attitude to be carrying in a job role like yours. Shameful. Hope you do better!

Really bad experience with a lady called Verity. Trying to get me to agree to a temp role I know nothing about. To asked her to email me and she pointed blank refused. Very rude manner and they couldn't get my name right either calling me Rushina really disrespectful. Would never use this agency to get work!
