Im not sure if this has been discusses or not previously and if it has my apologies in advance as I honestly want new feedback regarding this site and the results that they provide.

Is it worth it?
If yes, what field were you recruiting for?
If no, same question.

I have spoke with them on the phone and they seem very upfront about the information they provide, but the proof is obviously in the restults that previous and current clients have recieved, so if you have used this please do let me know your thoughts.

If you would rather email me my email address is accessible by clicking my name!

Damn Good Question !!!!! These guys seem to cold call me with some frequency - but I'd love to know other people's experience of Agency Central.

It seems a nice idea - I just can't actually see it working.

I took Agency Central up on a trial basis a couple of years ago and got nothing out of it whatsoever, although they insisted there had been a referral via their site, which according to our records never actually happened. This was around 2 years ago, so they may have improved since. I must admit that when setting up a recruitment supply chain, I did find a number of companies who now sit on our supply chain via Agency Central, so I suppose it's done something positive for me!

Hi There,

The answer to your question is a simple one, Agency Central Works.

We have been advertising on Agency Central for over a 18 months now and get at least 5 enquiries a weeks from companies looking to recruit.

It is very important that the setup of your listings is done correctly, your account manager will be able to assist you with it.

If we had a bigger budget for marketing it would be all spent on promoting our business on Agency Central.

Quality of candidates isn't that great and we don't get many enquiries from clients via this site.....

We use agency Central all the time - it works really well for us and have won some really good business on the back of it.

We also tried a couple others but agency central was the best by a mile.

Having read the threads here, I'm going to give Agency Central another try. As i indicated in my earlier post, it's been a few years since our initial trial which wasn't positive, but I do appreciate it was a very new thing at the time and the uptake was perhaps not as good as it may be today. This forum works, I just hope Agency Central also works for me.

Hi Ruffski,

Maybe you could do a little case study for the rest of us on your first 4 weeks? I hope it wont take up too much of your time.

We have been using Agency Central for 4 months now, and are very impressed with the service they provide. We gain quality candidates from there website, as our clients demand, and have also had several enquiries regarding new business from the site.

Compared to industry specific and expensive marketing we have wasted money on in the past, Agency Central really does come up with the high calibre candidates we need on a regular basis and we rate Agency Central alongside only a few of our more expensive marketing campaigns we currently have rolled out.

Worth using if you need quality. If not, then there is the expensive route of marketing, that is not specific to recruitment and rarely comes up with the goods.
