Pros

Honestly, I thought long and hard about this and I cannot think of one thing they offer that I would recommend - well maybe their salary surveys.

Cons

If you want to be driven into the ground following their KPI's join. When one of the KPI's is 8 CV's per vacancy! then you have an idea of the calibre of the people you are working with. Managers spend all their time running searches on your activity and send you inane emails asking you whey your temp only put in 36 hours of timesheets last week!!
