I've joined them all in the last couple of weeks, still no job though (only looking for temporary work so finding it a bit more difficult, seem to be plenty of permanent jobs around). Good luck with your search.

They are all useless IMO.
When I tried last year reeds wouldnt even take anyone on they just said upload your CV to the website. They offered me one interview for a job on 12k a year in the end

Try Manpower - ask for Tim

Pm me I run one in Cardiff Construction though?

The only one I would recommend at the moment is Adecco on Cathedral Road.

However, I would like to point out that I used to be a Recruitment Consultant, and agencies can be useless, as we have targets of registering so many candidates every week regardless of whether we have vacancies or not. And agencies do put out generic vacancy adverts out on the net, even though the job isn't live, to attract candidates.
At the moment, agencies are pretty quiet for vacancies, many of them are just sales related jobs.
I would recommend searching for work independently of agencies as you can waste over an hour of your time registering with nothing ever materialising.
Agencies are very target driven for candidate registration and it's all about selling people, so if your CV happens to be exceptional, they will ring various companies to sell you out in the hope they will offer them a vacancy and then they make a fee off you.
I know this doesn't help you much, I just think you would benefit looking for jobs without agencies.

cheers will do - its tricky as I live in Manchester and planning a full relocation to apply direct as my cv gets dismissed as my address is 150 miles further north!!! although I have taken this off now there are not that many vacancies that I can find that suit my skill set hence using agencies also.

When I relocated, my friend kindly let me use their Cardiff address so I could use it on my CV, therefore giving the impression I already lived in the City.
Good luck with your job search anyway, and your relocation.
BTW, what kind of work are you looking for?

Yeah im going to speak to my friend who lives in Gabalfa use his address, I do tech/customer support for large software company so would be looking customer support / team leader role really or similar to what I'm doing really.
