Agency Performance Issues
The Book was accused of being "very sneaky" by one reviewer, Primo Styles, who reported being told to remove contact details from their CV only to discover later that this was a trick to prevent companies from contacting them without going through the agency. This reviewer also found the staff to be unhelpful and lacking knowledge about the industry.
Exceptional Service and Results
Conversely, most reviewers praised The Book's exceptional service, highlighting their dedication, hard work, and ability to deliver results. Geri, Angela's mum, described her as "focussed, hardworking, committed, tenacious, loyal, humorous, an excellent networker who gets results". Deby Jackson, Lindsey Phillips, Polly W., Tony S., Adrian Mullen, and Dan Prescott all commended Ange and Emma's professionalism, expertise, and commitment to finding them suitable job opportunities.
