Not a bad word I can say about this agency, very polite via phone and very polite in person. They explained everything in full to me before offering me a 12-week temp to perm position and even taking me to the site where I will be working to meet the management and to show me around. I would highly recommend this agency as based on my experience with other agencies this is by far the best experience I have had! I am certain that these guys would go out of their way to help anyone gain some work

Having worked with KHR for over 6 years, I have found them to offer and deliver the highest levels of value, customer service and care alike. They have become our trusted partner and now operate on a sole supply basis and are seen as an extension of our own team due to the ability to supply class leading staff whenever required who are both inducted and knowledgeable in all aspects of our operation saving valuable man hours from my team’s perspective and that all colleagues supplied are warehouse/dept ready from the outset.
