got a call for a job interview and they said they would email me the address i waited 4 hours for the email and it did not come through!!

Exactly the same experience as everyone else. I got burned at round two, which consisted of wandering around Hyde. No questions I asked were answered adequately and the whole company had a cultish feel to it. I gave up after 5 hours and went home, which I think was far too generous of myself and my time.
The company I was with was 'Heyes Client Services' (sounds a bit like 'Hays,' the well-known legitimate and respected recruitment company doesn't it?) based at Dickinson House, 20 Dickinson Street, Manchester. My 'mentor', an 18 year old lass with no business experience, knowledge or basic human tact informed me that Primus, G Force, Heyes were all the same.
SRM, Heyes, G-Force, are all to be avoided. They're all scams.
If you're ever invited to an interview at Dickinson House on Dickinson Street, or 16 Newton Street, Manchester, don't waste your time and money.

I had the same experience!! Feel so stupid. I manage to walk away before the door to door sales started as asked if that was what it was and never got an answer! Can't believe I nearly let myself wander around the middle of nowhere with some guy I don't know, thinking there was a great job at the end of it! There were so many other people there and I hope they did the same thing as me. Had a phone call from another one today, gave them a piece of my mind. Gutted!!

I just went through the same thing with 'HEYES CLIENT SERVICES'(remember these con artists) on Dickinson St after getting baffled with ridiculous potential wage earnings (Seriously 150,000 in 9 months) I was then put on a train to Gorton with this brain washed moron who again had no business experience. On the train he was telling me he was practicing his 'speech' again making you think your going to a business to business meeting/pitch....Oh no, it only means walking round badgering people and scaring old ladies pressuring them to buy some turd product or service and its all rubbish!!!this guy i was walking round with was completely brain washed, scary it was like he was a robot and his manager was his god, worshipping him it was really wierd.. he had these stupid ideas of being retired at 40 and being a millionaire at 22, this guy was 20 and still selling door-to-door, two word TOTALLY DELUSIONAL. STAY AWAY FROM ANY JOBS VACANCIES ON DICKINSON ST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately there are many people that are unsuccessful in interviews for corporate companies such as these.

I can confirm that all of these companies are very very real and have all their corporate seals available to view, they are fully licensed, and are all LIMITED companies!!!! This means they are not and cannot be scams.

We have investigated this and it is all true and legitimate.

We are a government body and have looked seriously into this. All of the above information is relatively correct; interviews are conducted while seeing an 'entry level' perspective, and it is correct that potential earnings in the first year are six figures!

It is not a door to door opportunity. It is a management opportunity. I attended an awards ceremony for the entire company in Birmingham and there was over 2000 people there.

Previos message appears to have been written by a "corporate seal".

I'd like to thank everyone who left a comment about these guys and whoever started this website as I got a call from them after applying for a job, they seemed a bit too keen for my liking and these comments confirmed that it is too good to be true.
The website gave the first clue as it doesnt actually state ANYTHING that they do and is of such horrible quality.
I cant thank you guys enough.

hi, i had a similar experiance as above, i worked for heyes client services for 3 months, was made to work round 70 hours a week, the target earning they state are a load of bollocks, with all the effort i was puttin in i was making only around £200 a week and left as soon as another job came along, to some extent i regret working there, but on the other hand there were no other jobs available, on a note about brett heyes, cant talk for others but he was really good to me, and came across as a decent person during my time there. my advice to others would be to stay away from this type of job unless even if there isnt any other jobs around because of the costs involved in working, if you dont make any sales in the day you actually lose around £10 due to transport and food costs :(.

can u please explain better for me bcos i was invited for 2nd interview as a energy executive and i dont know whether to go for the interview or not.I dont want to go there and be wasting my precious time or they wont be able to pay my wages at the end of the day.Talked wit one james Goodrich (human resource advisor) and i tot they are really.Kindly help me out with ur view

I sent my CV and a cover letter to them through a jobsite, (despite not really knowing what the job was as there was only a vague description) and received an email back first thing in the morning (Friday) asking me to come for a preliminary interview. I then received another in the evening. The following morning I received a phone call from them trying to get in contact with me to come to an interview Mon or Tues (but my dad answered the phone as I wasn't in). Three unsuccessful attempts and yet they still emailed me again Saturday evening trying to get me to come to an interview. Three emails and a phone call all within 48 hours.

This made me really suspicious - why were they so desperate? The company website told me next to nothing and there were a few spelling mistakes. After googling them and reading yours and many other peoples opinions I'm really glad I did as I certainly won't be going to an interview now. I would advise others to stay away, especially from what I've read of other people's experiences who actually went to interviews and on door to door sales calls. Pretty much a bogus company in my opinion.

yestarday I had a call from them... (did this same what topic up ^ ) invited me on a interview... just I have to call 2day and arrange the day. I'm still trying to call them but nobody answer it. so i decided to check the number via google and what ive found? this web page and every one saing its bullsh*t so I'm not wasting my time.
Thanks Tom

The company heyes is the biggest scam I have ever seen. My other half who is highly qualified and desperate for work in this recession. Trying everything and grabbing every opportunity that arrives. Dedicated and so deserving of a chance. Heyes took the PISS. I have just read these comments as I had a bad feeling when i arrived from work and he wasnt here. 5 hours for an interview????????? I have just phoned him and he was with Josh!!! I explained what I have read and have just recieved a text saying he has had to run off from this psycho Josh!!!!!
Stay away from this company Heyes. Scamming gits who have cost my man 6 hours on a train today and yesterday not to mention the cost. They should be ashamed. This is not only a person afected but a family and hope for honest work in a recession. Disgusting!!!!!!!

i ahve just been for the 1st interview today and suprise i have got the 2nd interview tomorrow, after the call from heyes i rang my brother to told me of this website, and my god arent i so glad he did, im not going to waste my time with them tomorrow the also have a number of 0161 200 1105 dont bother with this company,there could be a real company wanting to get hold of you for a real job that isnt a joke, he should need reporting to the police, im that p**sed off im might just call them myself.

what goes around comes around brett if thats even you real name you will mess with the wrong person one day.

Just out of curiosity what was the job title of the position most of you applied for? Ive applied for the position of an Energy Surveyor and have been offered an interview but after reading these comments I probably wont bother But I wandered if any one new anthing about this position and what is involved.

I don’t want to sound like I’m tying to protect or even justify what this and other “business’s/companies” alike are trying to do to people but they are real and genuine companies however it’s what they preach that is not so legitimate. You can make money; you can become really wealthy and become a boss however it will require you to abandon your morals, self respect, dignity, time and most importantly money. These companies are basically pyramid scheme’s I know that pyramid schemes are illegal but this for lack of a better expression is more above board versions of that which requires you as an individual to be in work from around 10/11 am till 11/12 pm with no guarantee of you making a single penny now what kind of job is that. Please feel free to criticise what I’m  saying however I had the unfortunate “pleasure” and I use the work “pleasure” very loosely of working for a company call “paramount force” located in Manchester city centre please I beg you not to waste your time with this or any other company like this. Always check the website of the company before applying for the job and if they look a bit dodgy and they are playing dance music in the back ground then forget it its what’s referred to as a direct sales and/or marketing company  and not good.

If you want to contact a true con artist then call this guy “John Johnson” on 0788 4392 274, i mean even his name sounds dodgy. He’s the owner of “Paramount Force”.

Thanks guys! Being an Environmental graduate in search of a career I thought all my luck had changed when I found a company offering a position as Environmental Surveyor, but like most have said,their website offers nothing but jargon and no actual solid facts which spelt dodgy, and suprise suprise ive got an email for a preliminary interview from some head of HR James, think il give it a miss! Cheers again guys, so glad I found this thread before it was too late!

in a similar case to "annon" above I found the add for a Trainee Surveyor advertised via Reed - a real recruitment agency. On this occasion its under the name "Bradford Marketing" - why on earth a marketing firm would want a surveyor didnt occur to me to start with, hope of a job over rid this.

I was surprised to receive the following email 4 minuted after sending my application:

"My Manager has reviewed your application and we are contacting you as your application has been successful and you have been shortlisted for a preliminary interview.

We would like to schedule an interview with so you can sit down on a one to one basis with my manager, where you will have an opportunity to learn more about our company, the opening, and also the various packages which we can offer a successful candidate. We would also like to find out more about yourself and ultimately find out if you were successful, where you would fit into our company.

Please contact me on receipt of this email to arrange an preliminary interview. My contact number is 0161 200 1101.

Please find a link to our Press Room to find our what is happening at Bradford Marketing! http://pressroom.prlog.org/Bradford_Marketing/

Thank you for your interest in Bradford Marketing!"

Im sure you will all agree that the manager was VERY quick to review it and approve it.

The email was from admin@bradfordmktg.co.uk and www.bradfordmktg.co.uk is underconstruction (apparently). Furthermore the email adress in the job details is a gmail address - just as all the genuine companies use!

I then found this thread thankfully!! I will not be pursueing this

thanks to all for posting the heads up - it saved me a long journey!

Yeah I went for the surveyor role with heyes too. It was a good laugh! i went out with this girl called Hilary! she was really good, and we had quite a good laugh. i just don't think the hours were for me tho...start later but finish late. i have a young family so i thought it probably wasnt for me in the long run. i did think the job must be cool if there are surveyors like her about but yeh. it was like some bits of sales, but more this governement grant scheme. its ok tho, think its a decent job if you have the drive for it. but i got a call after the ob day from bradford and luckily saw the comments here! i think they used to be called srm or something?? really dodgy guys! they scam you into thinking its a surveyors job when its a sales one! anyway, i think ill stick to bar work!
