Proactiveglobal Avis 

COMPLETELY AVOID

Constant spamming about a job in rugby they send numerous emails despite having contacted them in regards to it said I’d hear back from the manager didn’t hear back left voicemails to Michael Flanagan.

I’m not going to bother as it’s unprofessional and an obvious scam to obtain my email for various phishing emails etc

Not an incredibly reputable company.

Completely unprofessional organisation. Someone with a sense of humour or bad intentions added my email address to their database without consent, and despite numerous explanations, emails, and phone calls, they continue to bombard me with spam and worthless job offers. The nature of these “offers” is not only unethical but should be investigated under the UK’s Modern Slavery Act. Their persistence and disregard for data protection rules are unacceptable. Avoid this company at all costs!

Key Complaints and Red Flags:
Non-Payment: Reports suggest workers have not been paid for work completed.
Misleading Information: The agency has been accused of dishonesty regarding salary rates and the duration of contracts.
Poor Communication: Complaints include lack of response to emails and poor communication skills.
Scam Alert: There have been reports linking the company to fraudulent job offers and phishing for personal information.
Action Recommended:
If you have experienced issues with payment or contractual dishonesty, it is advised to document all communication, contracts, and hours worked. In the UK, it is illegal for agencies to charge work-seekers for finding work, and complaints can be directed to the Employment Agency Standards Inspectorate (EAS).

The recruitment agency contacted me regarding a job in Basingstoke for a company, which I will not name, that specialises in bespoke products for various companies across a wide range of industries.

After speaking to Max Cannon (the principal Relationship Manager at Proactive Global), I asked for the job spec to be sent over via email (which he deliberately did not do), the day before the job interview. The day came, I drove from Woking to Basingstoke for the interview, and what would you know, the agency LIED to the company about EVERY ASPECT of my application:

- They lied about where I lived (they told the company I lived in Hook instead of Woking).
- They changed FOUR of my previous job titles to be "Quality Inspector", which I have never held.
- They said I was IPC Certified, which I am NOT. I said I was familiar with the standards but not certified to them.

The company I was interviewing for understandably gave them an earful after a pleasant interview. Needless to say I did not get the job because they only wanted local hires.

Separately from this incident, I receive numerous calls from random employees at Proactive Global, all of whom have extremely thick Indian accents, making it difficult for me to understand them. They also fail to provide any details about the role they have for me, making it difficult for me to make an informed decision.

I would suggest they seriously up their game compared to other friendly agencies out there.

I had an excellent experience working with Proactive Global. From the very beginning, their team was professional, approachable, and genuinely interested in understanding my career goals. They communicated clearly throughout the process, kept me updated at every stage, and provided valuable guidance to help me prepare for interviews.

What stood out most was their dedication — they didn’t just match me with any role, but took the time to ensure it was the right fit for my skills and aspirations. Thanks to their support, I was able to secure an exciting opportunity that aligns perfectly with my career path.

I highly recommend Proactive Global to anyone looking for a recruiter who truly cares about your success.

The professional approach and assistance given by Jared Raymond, from the first call to the follow up after i was employed was exceptional.

Keep spamming my inbox with irrelevant job offers. I have manage to speak to someone and they said they will delete my email but I'm still getting emails from them.
