Significant Issues

Stay away from this company! Dealing with them has been an absolute nightmare. They initially hooked me in with promises of a perfect job opportunity, even offering to cover my travel expenses for the interview. Against my gut feeling, I went ahead with the second interview, convinced by their assurance that it was a great match for my skills and career goals. But just 10 days before I was supposed to start, they heartlessly pulled the offer, blaming it on some flimsy excuse about location inconvenience for non-drivers. Not only did this leave me in the lurch, but it also hit me hard financially as I had already geared up for relocation. To make matters worse, the agent who had been so supportive suddenly disappeared into thin air when things fell apart. Despite my attempts to reach out, he was leaving me to deal with the mess on my own. And as if that wasn't enough, their response to my request for reimbursement for the interview travel expenses was downright appalling. Despite their promise to foot the bill, they conveniently brushed it off as a "unique case" and refused to cough up the money. Their lack of professionalism and integrity left me seething. When I reached out to the company director, expecting some empathy or at least an explanation, I was sorely disappointed. While they promised to reimburse me, there was no acknowledgment of the distress they had caused. Their email tone was very informal, as if they were blaming me for the whole mess. What's truly heartbreaking is the amount of time and effort (2-3 months!) I wasted chasing after my rightful reimbursement. What I really wanted was a simple apology or a clear explanation, but they couldn't even muster that. So, here's my advice to anyone dealing with this company: Keep a paper trail of everything and demand written confirmation for any promises made. Otherwise, you'll end up like me, feeling disrespected and deceived. Stay far away unless you enjoy being treated like dirt.

The whole of team of Talent international is really good, I must say that my experience with them is nothing, but really amazing. I had the privilege of having Luke Achilles with me. Luke Achilles is really caring and pleasant person. I really find him very professional and always ready to help. He kept in touch with me all the way through the interview process and managed my expectations well. He has gone above and beyond for me. Communication was excellent, and I felt thoroughly supported throughout the entire process. He will be a great asset to any organisation. Thanks Luke & all Team, Thanks Talent International :) Highly Recommend Talent International.

I have worked with Jess Jolly on a number of ocassions and Jess has always done a fantastic job in finding really high value candidates and always keep both the client and candidate upto date. Jess recently worked with myself on a Senior PowerBI role and managed to get some great candidates in for interviews and we now have someone who is suited really well to the role. Thanks Jess

Jodie @ talent not only helped me secure my next role but also coached and prepped me so I was ready for a successful interview and even helped and gave advice on good old imposter syndrome. Excellent service I was very impressed and would trust this company in the future.
