I think it works like the "massive contract" is thrown out amongst all staff members, then whoever can get a client to hire a person through the recruitment agency has essentially earned the recruitement agency £10K or whatever. They need to earn so much per month for the agency. They can either land one big contract from a specialist or a lot of little contracts for warehouses and casual manual labour employers. The new guy is competing for that big contract (maybe to get some commission on top), but he is not the only guy to try to get the contract for the agency. It's just whoever gets it. Like a pool of sharks fighting over a corpse.
Honestly, the recruitment industry, is the most pointless, skankiest, surplus industry ever, i absolutely pity anyone that has to earn a living from it, youre not wanted or needed and thats what you need to wake up thinking about every morning.

My first interview for my first job in 1972 took some five hours of questions and examinations. In the afternoon I was asked to produce all my diplomas and talking the director through them. Two days later I had to appear again for two more hours interviewed by four members of management and the one who was to become my new chef. The job you ask? Starting to study and work as a psychiatric male nurse for a far below minimum wage, 28 days per month with all sorts of shifts. I was not allowed to call in sick for the first two years without losing my job. Included in the job was a small room and three meals per day. We used to work up to 10 hours per day.

Agency workers don't get the same rights as company contracted workers. I've worked a couple of agency jobs in the past and always had to buy my own equipment/ppe
I've done agency work before, although not technically an employee I've always been supplied with boots, hi viz, gloves, safety glasses, earmuffs and hard hat by the agency, sometimes even overalls if the job requires them. They buy in bulk so it costs less and they are contracted by the companies that they supply labour for to have people on site and ready for work.
I've worked several agency jobs in the past in warehouses, and never once been provided with PPE. The warehouse isn't your employer so isn't obliged as previous comments state.

Agencies are the dregs and no person with any career goals should use them. I have signed up with multiple over the years and not a single one resulted in any work because they expected me to just accept whatever was thrown at me. The worst one wouldn't even give me any details of the jobs - where it was, what the hourly rate was. I had specified certain areas that I had experience in, but they tried to place me in places that I specifically said I was not qualified for. In the end, I was told that my career should be treated as "trial and error", incredibly insulting to people who want/need stability. I told them I no longer needed their services, then I received a phone call the next day from another member of their "team"! They don't listen to anything you tell them. They expect you to be okay with being passed from pillar to post and be in and out of jobs. All they care about is getting your name on their books. If you work for any sort of agency, you have no self-respect.
I used to work at the job centre (2 years ago when I was 22) and I absolutely dreaded seeing people and giving appointments. First of all, I was totally ridiculed for being ‘young’ (I do look about 18 🥴) and not knowing anything. I found it demeaning as I’m trained and I know what I’m doing. My age shouldn’t matter, I’m trying to get you a job mate. The job seekers were just really immature, unserious, frankly I don’t think they even wanted a job, just wanted to keep their Universal Credit going. They would miss job interviews, turn up late to appointments, cancel. It was literally a joke. People thought I was harsh for imposing sanctions but I’m sorry, it’s not a free for all. You get your benefits on the premise of you actually TRYING to find a job 🙄
@@ariajade7852 Agreed need to have a lot more understanding for these people there may be reasons they aren't able to find work and sanctioning them isnt gonna help them improve there situation and usually when I used to go to the job centre they usually had older employees so it would seem unusual for a young employee to be working there
@@prochoicenotantivax119the problem is that as OP said, lots and lots of people are literally just going through the motions to keep their UC, they're not actually interested in getting a job.

But if you can't even keep job centre appointments when you're entirely unemployed, your time management is awful or you just don't care about finding work. Fact is, I pay my taxes and I work long hours to pay for people who don't seem to want to work. Not everybody, bot even the majority of people of course. But some of them definitely are just feckless.

A lot of people or should I say businesses that claim to help people in fact don't and are guilty of being judgemental. The sad truth is everyone is different in this world a true individual but we are expected to follow certain "norms" i for example was born with mild autism, grew up in poverty after father became ill, told wouldn't amount to anything in life blah blah blah I can go on but been judged in part due to the autism making me come across as strange despite the jobs I have held I get praised for hard work, I went many years out of work after a near breakdown as employers rejected me as they told me I would fidget at interview, not sound confident the norms but having been through what I have such as a near breakdown after a brutal family members death that gave me PTSD again blah blah blah, but point is people out of work have a bad rep and can have far more potential than people realise, and agencies and employers like to see themselves as the hero when in fact they have their own way and happy for applicants to basically beg and act like the employers/agency is doing the person a favour by employing them at a barely livable wage and no rights and can be sacked with no notice etc, they aren't in it for you they are in it for themselves. I myself have been back in work nearly a year now and get glowing feedback its just a shame the world we are in now doesn't value its employees.
How does this dumb pointless business model work? Like theyre going to give birth to new people for jobs? No, the people are out there and will find the employers themselves, youre a pointless lying fake business.
well, given plenty of businesses use them, its hardly 'pointless' is it? you say 'people can get their own jobs' - yes, that might be true, but its far easier for busy businesses to have places like this recruit for them. they do all the hard work, screen, check references etc. the people looking for the jobs don't pay, the businesses do. if those looking for jobs don't want to use the recruitment agencies, they wont. and gosh you seem very angry over something that doesn't harm you personally.
people are out there, but businesses want to use agencies, so people have to go with the agencies. That way they can easily get rid of the workers when there is less work like after Xmas. Most of the places I have worked at as a lorry driver have at least 50% of staff from agencies. Agencies = disposable workers.
This recruitment agency produces nothing for the country. The clients have to pay the agency and also the staff recruited. If these same clients recruit directly, their expenses will be lower, and as such they can then potentially undercut competitors who use an agency. Get rid of all brokers, agencies and middlemen, except in cases where there are security or confidentiality issues.
From an employers perspective if you get someone through a recruitment agency versus hiring them straight up the difference is they are more disposable and don't have as many rights. So if you where running a business I think it may make sense to pay the employment agency.
These Job agencies crop up with some encouraging title then draw all your prospects and work information and then disappear.Come Christmas another number of irregularities will appear and never to be heard of again.A major check needs to be assembled by the Government.

it took me a full 10 minuets to realise it wasn't a comedy spoof docu,, honestly still not sure its real
but it's not funny
Same!!!
Kind of reminds me of "the office'
It's like the Netflix show the job lot it literally has the same ppl in the show
I think its real but they haven't chose the best voiceover
I worked at 2 temp agencies at the same time. I didn’t have any sales to do, just interviews for companies. I had to fill some staffing but I was always offered the position. But I was working in the office.
Anyone who needs a job, go to your local temp agency. 90% are looking for permanent hires. You’ll get hired, I promise you. Unless you can’t pass a drug test that is. 🤔 2021
the guy in black suit seems like he really wants to help them
That stationary company making people stand up, and screaming that such a bad environment to work in. Imagine being on call with a customer, having to deal with the noise.
Great documentary. Great supportive staff helping those that want work.
World class
If I walked into that office and Jane greeted me with "ayyyyyyyyah" I'd turn around and walk out! What a brash woman.

a 17 yr old working at a job center? how does that happen? Does he even have any qualifications?
Parents probably friends with the owner or 16 year olds can do on the job apprenticeships (around £4 an hour).
It's not a job centre though.
I thinks he an apprentice
Some people have a degree but they can't a job what's the point of a degree?
And others who don't have a degree, but find other alternative ways and they become successful, just like bill gates

Telemarking is like selling your soul to the devil for breadcrumbs
I have worked in this industry. It's absolutely horrific. You face constant abuse from the people you are calling because you are harassing them and abuse from the managers. Managers frequently bullying often vulnerable workers. I was pushed out for refusing to break the law and not lie. Even though I was reasurred at interviews that I would never be asked to.
You aren't allowed to have any morals. 😢

My first interview for my first job in 1972 took some five hours of questions and examinations. In the afternoon I was asked to produce all my diplomas and talking the director through them. Two days later I had to appear again for two more hours interviewed by four members of management and the one who was to become my new chef. The job you ask? Starting to study and work as a psychiatric male nurse for a far below minimum wage, 28 days per month with all sorts of shifts. I was not allowed to call in sick for the first two years without losing my job. Included in the job was a small room and three meals per day. We used to work up to 10 hours per day.
Candelisa People ceased trading in December 2015 and is now bust. Apparently just before Christmas 2015, Jane discovered the firm would be unable to pay its VAT bill and they also didn't have enough money to pay 80 of their temps.

It’s actually up to your employer to provide you with PPE. Why are these poor people expected to buy their own?
Technicallyimright I’m guessing because they are agency and not employed
Agency workers don't get the same rights as company contracted workers. I've worked a couple of agency jobs in the past and always had to buy my own equipment/ppe
I've done agency work before, although not technically an employee I've always been supplied with boots, hi viz, gloves, safety glasses, earmuffs and hard hat by the agency, sometimes even overalls if the job requires them. They buy in bulk so it costs less and they are contracted by the companies that they supply labour for to have people on site and ready for work.
@@suzannekirkwood6392 you got luckier than i did then 😂 cost me a fortune getting all the stuff i needed for the jobs i worked through that agency
I've worked several agency jobs in the past in warehouses, and never once been provided with PPE. The warehouse isn't your employer so isn't obliged as previous comments state.

Dispite of some comments i was realy impresssed by the people in UK. Open minded and so emotionaly fullfilled! That is amazing! To compare with my enfiroment it is just Wow!
Agencies are the dregs and no person with any career goals should use them. I have signed up with multiple over the years and not a single one resulted in any work because they expected me to just accept whatever was thrown at me. The worst one wouldn't even give me any details of the jobs - where it was, what the hourly rate was. I had specified certain areas that I had experience in, but they tried to place me in places that I specifically said I was not qualified for. In the end, I was told that my career should be treated as "trial and error", incredibly insulting to people who want/need stability. I told them I no longer needed their services, then I received a phone call the next day from another member of their "team"! They don't listen to anything you tell them. They expect you to be okay with being passed from pillar to post and be in and out of jobs. All they care about is getting your name on their books. If you work for any sort of agency, you have no self-respect.
I love watching these think I’ve watched all the ones you put up I’m addicted
I love Carlos, id be just like him...
I thought this was a comedy at first.
Neat to see this be the subject of a show like this.
Wouldn’t be able to call out “Housekeeping” without sounding like Peter Griffin
I used to work at the job centre (2 years ago when I was 22) and I absolutely dreaded seeing people and giving appointments. First of all, I was totally ridiculed for being ‘young’ (I do look about 18 🥴) and not knowing anything. I found it demeaning as I’m trained and I know what I’m doing. My age shouldn’t matter, I’m trying to get you a job mate. The job seekers were just really immature, unserious, frankly I don’t think they even wanted a job, just wanted to keep their Universal Credit going. They would miss job interviews, turn up late to appointments, cancel. It was literally a joke. People thought I was harsh for imposing sanctions but I’m sorry, it’s not a free for all. You get your benefits on the premise of you actually TRYING to find a job 🙄
Sounds like you should watch the movie “I Daniel Blake.”
@@ariajade7852 Agreed need to have a lot more understanding for these people there may be reasons they aren't able to find work and sanctioning them isnt gonna help them improve there situation and usually when I used to go to the job centre they usually had older employees so it would seem unusual for a young employee to be working there
@@prochoicenotantivax119the problem is that as OP said, lots and lots of people are literally just going through the motions to keep their UC, they're not actually interested in getting a job. If you're really down on your luck and you're looking for work, literally any job will do really. But if you can't even keep job centre appointments when you're entirely unemployed, your time management is awful or you just don't care about finding work. Fact is, I pay my taxes and I work long hours to pay for people who don't seem to want to work. Not everybody, bot even the majority of people of course. But some of them definitely are just feckless.

@@rah4254 you're dumb bro
A lot of people or should I say businesses that claim to help people in fact don't and are guilty of being judgemental. The sad truth is everyone is different in this world a true individual but we are expected to follow certain "norms" i for example was born with mild autism, grew up in poverty after father became ill, told wouldn't amount to anything in life blah blah blah I can go on but been judged in part due to the autism making me come across as strange despite the jobs I have held I get praised for hard work, I went many years out of work after a near breakdown as employers rejected me as they told me I would fidget at interview, not sound confident the norms but having been through what I have such as a near breakdown after a brutal family members death that gave me PTSD again blah blah blah, but point is people out of work have a bad rep and can have far more potential than people realise, and agencies and employers like to see themselves as the hero when in fact they have their own way and happy for applicants to basically beg and act like the employers/agency is doing the person a favour by employing them at a barely livable wage and no rights and can be sacked with no notice etc, they aren't in it for you they are in it for themselves. I myself have been back in work nearly a year now and get glowing feedback its just a shame the world we are in now doesn't value its employees.
Having to stand until a sale is achieved! A throw back to draconian days, very demeaning and sad.

They look like idiots no wonder.
how rude. that woman is amazing.
How does this dumb pointless business model work? Like theyre going to give birth to new people for jobs? No, the people are out there and will find the employers themselves, youre a pointless lying fake business.
well, given plenty of businesses use them, its hardly 'pointless' is it? you say 'people can get their own jobs' - yes, that might be true, but its far easier for busy businesses to have places like this recruit for them. they do all the hard work, screen, check references etc. the people looking for the jobs don't pay, the businesses do. if those looking for jobs don't want to use the recruitment agencies, they wont. and gosh you seem very angry over something that doesn't harm you personally.
@@anovemberstar Youve just clearly never run a business to understand how much of a nuisance these lot are.
people are out there, but businesses want to use agencies, so people have to go with the agencies. That way they can easily get rid of the workers when there is less work like after Xmas. Most of the places I have worked at as a lorry driver have at least 50% of staff from agencies.
Agencies = disposable workers.
@Seymour Butts lol because its a nasty business
it allows hotels etc to fire staff for not working like slaves without getting any comeback they just ask the agency for a different worker.
This recruitment agency produces nothing for the country. The clients have to pay the agency and also the staff recruited. If these same clients recruit directly, their expenses will be lower, and as such they can then potentially undercut competitors who use an agency.
Get rid of all brokers, agencies and middlemen, except in cases where there are security or confidentiality issues.
From an employers perspective if you get someone through a recruitment agency versus hiring them straight up the difference is they are more disposable and don't have as many rights. So if you where running a business I think it may make sense to pay the employment agency.
Anyone watching this during COVID hearing her say that they need 35,000 per month to stay open like 👀👀👀
