Major Recruitment in short
Major Recruitment runs twelve specialist divisions from manufacturing to education, with a Telford office at Grosvenor House on Hollinswood Road. Its site carries live adverts showing salary bands, client testimonials and sign-up routes, and the group describes itself as independently owned. A live limited company with a record stretching back many years sits behind the name.
Customer reviews put Major Recruitment at the foot of this table, at four and a half stars on Google from approaching a hundred ratings. There is no other review source on record. This review reads that as middling rather than poor, with advert transparency counting in its favour.
What else counts against it is the usual missing paperwork: the site states no scheme memberships, publishes no insurance details and shows no client pricing. Our judgement is that Major Recruitment suits employers who value named divisions and visible salaries.
The sector spread is the widest in the table: a dozen named divisions with live adverts showing salary bands and client testimonials on the site, from an independently owned group. The company record runs back many years. This review reads advert transparency as the firm's genuine plus and the customer score as middling rather than poor. Our view is that the file suits an employer hiring across more than one sector at once. The group describes itself as independently owned, founded in the early nineties.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Major Recruitment suits you if you want a multi-sector agency with named divisions and salary bands on its adverts [1]. The company has been active since 2008 [3]. What counts against it is the absence of published insurance details and client pricing [1].
