Someone called Joseph... cold called me and rejected my job application over the phone because I'm located "on the other side of the country". Unprofessional and discriminatory.

My opinion is that having heard how they have refused to pay contractors for their final timesheet, I do not feel this is a good company to do business with.

Disappointing and Unprofessional Experience with Zoe I had a very frustrating experience working with Zoe from Square one. I followed up multiple times to ask for feedback or any updates on the status of my interview, but despite my persistence, I never received any response. It's incredibly unprofessional to leave candidates hanging without any communication, especially when they spent time in the process. I understand that not every opportunity works out, but basic courtesy and respect would have been appreciated. I would not recommend working with this recruiter if you're looking for a professional and communicative process.

My experience with Charlie, a recruitment agent from Square One Resources, was extremely disappointing and frustrating. He initially assured me that I was one of only two candidates for a role, praising my qualifications and encouraging me to invest significant time in the process, including completing a five-day task assignment. However, a few weeks after submitting the assignment, Charlie completely ghosted me, despite promising to follow up. I only received an update from the company's HR, who informed me they had chosen another candidate with more experience in social media and community management—something Charlie never mentioned. His delays and lack of communication were not only unprofessional but also a significant waste of my time. Charlie’s false promises and disregard for transparency have left me deeply dissatisfied and cautious about trusting recruiters in the future. If you’re looking for a recruiter who values your time and communicates honestly, I suggest avoiding Charlie from Square One Resources.

Very good at getting you through the door for their commission but they actually do not care about their candidates. If you want to go with this company your best bet is to read your contract word for word before signing anything, loopholes in their contracts to save their own backs. Worst place since my 2 decades working.

Dear Max, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your exceptional service as a recruiter at Square One Resources. After resigning from my previous job, I spent some time searching for a new career opportunity until you reached out to me through your agency. I am impressed by your professionalism and efficiency. In an incredibly short amount of time, you managed to present not just one, but two job contracts to me. Your dedication and ability to act swiftly have truly impressed me, and I cannot thank you enough. Thanks to your diligent efforts, I have been able to secure a position that perfectly aligns with my skills and career aspirations. I am extremely satisfied with the service you provided as well as with my new role. I sincerely want to thank you for your hard work and dedication. Your proactive approach and determination to find the best opportunity for your candidates are remarkable.

I had been working in Germany and wasn't very satisfied with my situation when I was contacted by a talent agency called "Square One." My agent, Max, went above and beyond to help me find a job in Ireland where I feel more at home and can perform at my best.Max has been incredibly attentive and thorough, taking care of every detail along the way. Even two months into my new job, he continues to check in and ensure everything is going smoothly. We encountered some initial challenges, and the start in my new role was a bit slow, but Max was there every step of the way, providing support and guidance.I truly appreciate Max's dedication and the personalized assistance I received from "Square One." Thanks to them, I'm now in a role where I can thrive. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking new career opportunities.

Great experience with Square One Resources securing my first job in UK. Remi De-Jong is a professional, friendly and patient recruiter who cares candidates’ feelings and guides them to nail their interviews. Definitely recommend him to my friends. :)

The service I received from Max at Square One Resources when looking for my recent job was second to none. Max was very professional and knew what the job requirements were. He helped me throughout the process, had me in loop the entire time and kept in touch to get reviews on my new job for first few weeks.
