Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from recruitment agencies in Barry every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
Not showing up in local recruitment searches
Employers searching nearby check Google first. If your agency isn't visible, you're not in the running.
Great placements but not enough reviews
50 reviews vs 8 — the one with more looks like the safer bet, regardless of actual performance.
Client testimonials aren't visible where they matter
Happy employers have said great things, but those testimonials are buried. Getting them as Google reviews transforms your credibility.
Repeat business going to the agency with the best online presence
Employers who used you once still check online before placing again. If a competitor looks stronger, they might switch.
