Gi Group Reviews 

I had a very disappointing experience with Gi Group, particularly in my interactions with Kristina Nikolova. Communication was poor throughout the process, and I often felt left in the dark without updates or clear answers. Expectations were not managed well, and there seemed to be little regard for professionalism or follow-through.

I tried to raise my concerns directly, but nothing was resolved. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I would not recommend Gi Group to anyone seeking reliable or supportive employment services.

Never get breaks holiday requests regularly refused. Booked in for overtime I haven't agreed to literally every week the worst employer I have ever had to work with hands down.

Be aware this agency abusing with people's private data . ABSOLUTE RUBBISH

I worked for GI Group in the UK for nearly six month and I have to say I am very disppointed with them as an employee. Communication and legal paperwork is either not done or very late. Trying to find out how must holiday you have accrued is rubbish and they are so late paying pension contributions I think any are doing something illegal!!! I would NOT recommend them to anyone

I had a meeting this morning in Berlin, scheduled last week. We had numerous email exchanges in the meantime. Since I had already signed up with several similar staffing agencies without any results, I requested to have a video interview instead. They refused, arguing that people from the company interested in my resume would be present and that I needed to be there in person. They also asked me to bring my passport, ID card, tax number, social insurance number, health insurance card, IBAN, etc., which is illegal and unnecessary without a signed contract (which I told them, but they dismissed it with nonsensical excuses and nonsense).

I arrived at the interview, and another person greeted me, not knowing my scheduled interview. I asked to speak with Mr. Engel, and he told me that he would take the interview instead, without any further explanation. He had not read my resume and had no clue about the position I was being interviewed for. The company that was supposed to be present was also not there (of course). I insisted on speaking with the person I had originally arranged the interview with. My interlocutor seemed surprised and irritated by this simple request. Eventually, the person I was supposed to meet appeared. He repeated the same nonsense that the lady who called me last week had said. I asked him why the company in question was not there. He responded with the same nonsense and aggressively asked me twice, "Aren't you looking for a job?" as if that was a substitute for a clear answer to my legitimate question, designed to avoid addressing the blatant incoherence and misleading tactics by throwing in some guilt-inducing, ridiculous question. I thought it was a cheap psychological tactic. I told him that I thought they were a serious company. He then invited me to leave. I complied immediately and said absolutely nothing.

I wasted 3 hours getting there and 8 euros in transportation, which they, of course, will not reimburse. This kind of agency should close down on the spot.
The general attitude of these two interlocutors was one of condescension and contempt. I am still furious and disgusted by the entire experience. These people think they have all the rights and that we are at their complete disposal. I worked as a recruiter in another life and I would throw such people out immediately. I gave them one star because there are no other options but they deserve absolutely none.

My experience with Gi Group has been very disappointing. The lack of professionalism and coordination within their team is evident, as each member of the company provided me with different information. Additionally, they do not respond promptly when you ask questions or need clarifications. They called me to ask if I was ready to start working, and then I had to wait more than 24 days for them to tell me when I should sign the contract with the final company. I would not recommend working with them, as in my opinion, their management leaves much to be desired. Honestly, even half a star would be too much.

Asking for my NI and ID when no other recruitment agency has asked me for this before. CV is usually good enough and the private information part is usually the employers responsibilty. Major red flag. Website kept getting flagged for phishing on my anti-virus when researching them, just scetchy. Not worth it for a warehouse job I'm apparently over qualified for.

Asking for my bank history it’s a huge fraud because it’s a sensitive information, if it was for some credit history you can find them on the government website.
I gave the first 6 months during the covid and the HMRC past five years, everything was ok and than after the wish for the good week end and will see for the available interviews once the employer in this case Morrisons meter reading answers, we’ll let you know.
Not even 10 minutes after, another email by him by asking the bank statement from August until 25 October and I refused, because there is called privacy and replied that I will show that once I got the interview appointment and give those details to a real person rather than someone who stays in office sat all day and thinking to be smarter of who is looking for a job desperately.
Definitely the most disgusting period of my life and those heartless people continuing their dirty business.
I wish you all good luck for the job hunting, stay away from predators.

Avoid this agency. You can keep applying for work with these, but you will get reply back saying not enough experience even though you have got more than enough. There only interest in jobs they want you to do with low wage. Wouldn't recommend at all. Avoid

The worst customer service ever.
I went to sign the contract from Chemnitz to Leipzig on my own after getting their message, about asking me to sign the contract. When I go there, they says that they don't have any spaces currently. They didn't even let me enter the room. Just told me this information very casually. I asked them why would they call me the day before to sign the contract and then say this. They have no answers not even a sorry. Later, they told me, they'll call me in that week to come again to sign contract and never did. The worst thing is that, I tried reaching them so many times, with email, with phone. But they never answers.
This is by far the worst recruiting agency in Germany as per my knowledge and I wish they are out of business so that no one else suffers the same as me from this irresponsible crap of a company. At least one less bad recruitment company in the market

If I could leave 0 stars I would.

Rude insulting staff, utterly incompetent. The recruitment process for a job at Royal Mail was an absolute joke. I gave up!

Please STOP sending me unsolicited emails and phone calls regarding recruiting staff. We used you once when you was Encore many years ago. Since then I have requested many, many times that I be removed from your marketing list. I was sent today welders, millers, PCB assemblers. I called to ask why and I was told we are on your database. Please REMOVE ME!
