Blue Arrow Anmeldelser 

Worked for them a long time ago (sorry date given here is incorrect as only let's me choose until 2022) but as recently had a clear out I had paperwork which reminded me of them which needed shredding. They had a contract with a famous gas firm and employed a lot of students those days for part time work. The permanent staff were treated to a different standard but they would fire agency staff on the flimsiest pretence and so had a 2 tier system. One issue was permanent staff would sometimes openly go on the internet for shopping including a manager's wife who sat next to me who was full of herself as agency staff dared not to. So I decided to do the same one day seeing as they fired agency staff all the time over far more trivial matters. I didn't realise it was partly because agency staff have no employment rights anyway and so they probably didn't even need a reason. As soon as I did so the manager's wife reported me and I was sacked, but not because of going on the internet but because they claimed I had "revoked access" for IT to see what I had been doing which I now realise conflicts with their sinister allegations that I was on political websites naming Bush and Blair (it was Rory Bremner). IT lied through their teeth and so I was precluded from even claiming benefits for 6 months as a sanction after this and they ruined my reference and it stopped me joining police at a later date. Prior to this I exceeded all their daily targets so much so I was placed in a specialist team as a result. I was young then and didn't know my rights but it's a bitter experience.

Randomly messaged me on Whatsapp, no idea where they got my number from.

No introduction or context just started with "hello, how are you?" When I asked who they were they mentioned they worked for Blue Arrow and pasted a load of pay offers for full-time and part-time packages with no indication of what the work even was.

Had a look on Trustpilot and others seemed to have the same experience. Blocked them instantly.

Random message on whattsapp...no idea how they got my number as im not part of any recruitment site. Blocked

Went to work here in August 2022. Easy job and going OK hitting all my targets. About a week after joining there was a review of the office and the admin side that apparently didn't go well for the boss. The following week got told I was being let go because "I'm not going to be blamed" According to the Manager. Highlighted I'd only been their a few weeks so how the hell could it be blamed on me. Didn't make any difference. Wasn't happy at time but looking back it was a major bullet dodged getting away from there.

I received a message over WhatsApp by an unknown number, a ‘Eunice, a recruiter from Blue Arrow Recruitment UK.’ She was offering part time, full time and interim job roles.

I told her I wasn’t interested and wanted to know where she got my number from. She ignored me so I told her to delete my number and not to send it to anyone else.

The next day she started messaging me again, telling me she received my number from the UK recruitment database.

I am not a part of any UK recruitment database nor have I ever wanted to be, so told her as much. I repeated that I had no interest in any job from bluearrow or any recruitment agency. I told her again to delete my number from their records and not contact me.

She ignored what I said and continued to harass me about sending over work details for me to look at and accept.

She only stopped messaging me when I told her I wanted to file a complaint as she was breaking Article 17 of the UK GDPR where individuals have the right to have personal data erased.

After interview with Karolina. She never kept to all appointments only to come back that there's no job to offer. What a silly way to waste my time. Blue Arrow not for serious minded individuals

Sent me a random message on WhatsApp about working from home. I am not with any employment agency. Continued to push the point even after I had said No. As far as I'm concerned if you start a potential business approach with "Hiya, how you doing?" I seriously doubt you are either authentic or professional. Reported.

I had a very bad experience with blue Arrow today. After registering, I contacted Mr Joshua Wilson. His details had come through the email received from Blue Arrow. At the onset he was very rude and wanted his number to be deleted and instructed me that I should not call him anymore and further on threatened me with blacklisting my profile.
I do not know what triggered his animosity towards me. Could it be my race? I will never approach Blue Arrow neither want them to contact me in near future.

Blue arrow or someone claiming to be blue arrow recruitment contacted me on Watts app about a job
They never refired to me by name or the jobs discrimination
I think it was a scam message I tried to block them but was unable to
So I just deleted message
I advise anyone getting Watts app messages from recruitment sites to do the same

Cold called me via WhatsApp message. Should be reported for this. Based on other reviews here stay away at all costs.

Received unsolicited contact from Blue Arrow Recruitment via WhatsApp.

I do not appreciate cold calling and despise personal messages from unknown individuals. I have reported the event to WhatsApp and Offcom.

Cold calling is the lowest of low's.

Don’t pay you on time terrible communication with the work place if you leave a job with them make sure your paid what your owed the week you leave or they will make you wait a week with no money to get by on they don’t care about you all they care about is you making them money

Three months later and still haven’t received payment.

I would like to say you don't give a s..t about your employees.we make u money and you can't pay us on time 👍

The website and app are terrible. I applied for a job then received an email saying I have to complete registration, which is impossible to do. Or is it just me?

I have known Blue Arrow for over 25 years and worked with various branches in the South/SE. Very friendly teams, always on the ball. Excellent organisation and they understand each individuals needs from employee to employer. I rate them very highly being a full time caterer with them. Great annual leave and pay is prompt and always accurate, :-)

I have applied for job through blue arrow however they are asking me for my valid ID, bank details, NI number etc and there is no interview scheduled yet.

I do not feel comfortable to give such sensitive information before any interview. If job is offered I will be happy to provide this information however not before job offer or employer interview.

Its incorrect on all levels to ask for information as there are few in need and may give out the information however it can be misused so beware before giving this information.

Didn't get the money I was owed for doing 10 hours in hovis Belfast which is a joke, rang Karolina and blue arrow a few times, sent an email. She's forgot about me already. Will not be using this company again. Leaved Hovis over verbal abuse from the hygienic team leader and all she could say is sorry. Sorry would of been getting me money that's owed to me. Not happy.

reading these reviews, the amount of sensitive information they ask for on registering, the sales tactics some dude who doesn't even know me tried to get me to sign up & the fact that agency jobs in general are crap (fewer rights, low pay, less pay than staff actually working for the company for the same job etc etc).

they've sent me an email and a text within 24 hours seeking documents I already said I wasn't going to provide lol. must be desperate, and reading the reviews here and elsewhere, I see why.

Poor excuse of a minicab company. The driver couldn't find London bridge consort, left 5 ladies stranded for an hour and half even after a London cabie gave them directions! Will never us or recommend them! Left out of pocket and not answering emails! Horrendous company!!!
