Huntress Search

Well recommended by me! I uploaded my CV onto Huntress’ website rather than emailing it and had an email and telephone message straight away. Registered soon after. Michelle Thorne is so helpful. I’ve worked through both ends of the political spectrum with Huntress The National Union of Teachers and Conservative Campaign Headquarters both in their respective postrooms. It was most interesting at The Conservative Party although I missed out on seeing John Major one day. Would not keep 12 hour days up for long though.
I’ve also done some invigilating at a private law school through Huntress but have rejected this work in more recent times as personally I find education a bit depressing. Consultants were a bit narky when I rejected this work.
I have also done some other reception/​switchboard work at an institute and a charity which I have enjoyed. It’s worth bearing in mind that it is not in Huntress’ terms and conditions to demand of their clients a minimum 4 hours payment for work of less duration as it is with some other agencies I’ve worked through. Huntress pay me by cheque as I refused to undergo money laundering shenanigans.
Yes this agency really are very good and have been useful to me by providing work before trips to Australia.
Update Jul 2013/​/​Huntress are now paying a minimum of 4 hours wages for work of less hours very good.

You should try and deal with Huntress in Portsmouth — or rather not. They rang last week asking me to call back — which I did. They still have not returned my call. There is a long catalogue of bad experiences with Huntress. Total wasters.

Then only reason I’m not giving these guys five stars is due to an issue with timesheets which left me with no pay for two weeks. Admittedly it wasn’t entirely their fault but I’m still a little better. This minor incident aside, my experience with Huntress has been great. All the staff are really nice and friendly and you always get an individual assigned to you who takes great care and attention to know your situation. On top of this they will call regularly throughout your employment just to see how things are going which can admittedly get quite annoying but shows they care.
I would recommend Huntress to anyone in desperate need of employment. It really feels like they work very hard for you.
