Angard Staffing Opiniones 

I genuinely regret ever applying through Angard Staffing.

As I write this, I am on hold with them yet again, trying to get a simple answer to a simple question: when do I actually start work?
I completed my induction over a month ago and still haven’t been given a start date. Not an email, not a call, nothing proactive from their side – just me constantly chasing.

The problems started from day one:

I was told to arrive at the worksite for 14:30 for induction. Being professional, I arrived at 14:15.

I and the other inductees were left standing around for about 15 minutes before any Angard personnel even bothered to process us.

The induction itself only started at 14:30 – and it was run by Angard’s client, not Angard. Their own presence and organisation felt like an afterthought.

Then there’s the travel farce.
They sent me a bus ticket to get to the Milton Keynes worksite, with instructions to get on the bus at Luton’s Galaxy Centre. No clear explanation, no proper coordination – just a generic ticket and an expectation that I would somehow figure it all out because I live in Milton Keynes.

Meanwhile, their phone system is a joke.
I’ve spent far too long listening to “Thank you for your call, a member of the team will be with you shortly” on repeat, with nobody actually picking up or resolving anything. It feels like they hide behind hold music instead of offering any real support.

On top of all this, they ask for very specific personal information, yet the way they operate doesn’t inspire any confidence whatsoever. You’d think we were handling gold or uranium from the level of detail they demand, but in reality their own processes are anything but high security or high standard. The whole setup has made the experience feel, at best, irresponsible and, at worst, like something I should never have trusted.

In my opinion, this is a deeply disorganised and irresponsible operation, and I would strongly urge anyone considering Angard Staffing to not! My experience has been stressful, chaotic and completely avoidable – if they simply did their jobs properly.

Angard contact you on the promise of employment. What they do not inform you, is that once you have sent them all if your documentary ID, they request a biometric profile. They then send all of your private details to company house, for Government and home office perusal. Directly breaching section 8 of the ECHR. The Right for Privacy.
In essence your information is being sold on the premise of employment.
This agency will explain, that biometric profiles are mandatory and are requested by law, when this is quite simply not true.
If you do not comply, then you will not be allowed the right to work. Avoid, avoid, avoid. If you respect your freedom!

Don’t expect shifts and expect to be chasing up your pay owed for multiple weeks in advance, worst agency I’ve worked for and I’ve worked for about 10.

Absolutely shambolical !!!
Worst company ever like everyone one else accepted 2 months ago had email from reed asking if still
Interested… told them exactly what to do !!! AVOID

They tell you you will get breaks payed after 12 weeks and you will get a pay increase after 26 weeks and 52 weeks, then they change their mind and you don’t get paid breaks and don’t pay you the increase,
Stay away

My experience with Angard Staffing has been nothing short of appalling.

I worked multiple full shifts for Royal Mail through Angard in August 2025, yet weeks later I am still unpaid. Despite repeatedly providing my shift details and even supplying supporting evidence (such as transport receipts), I have been met with nothing but excuses, delays, and empty reassurances.

Instead of taking responsibility and resolving the issue, the payroll team continually deflects, claiming they are “waiting for confirmation from Royal Mail.” This is absurd – a staffing agency should advocate for its workers, not leave them chasing payments for work completed three weeks ago. I’ve even asked them directly to be proactive and pick up the phone and call Royal Mail, but they continue to hide behind email chases and vague promises.

The incompetence goes further:

I was told Faster Payments would be arranged, yet nothing was received.

Their own records were incomplete and required me to resubmit detailed shift logs.

When I requested my accrued holiday pay and offboarding, that too was ignored while the payment delays dragged on.

It is shocking that Angard expects workers to show up and fulfil shifts reliably, but when it comes to paying wages, they shrug responsibility and push the problem elsewhere. I have never experienced such poor treatment, lack of urgency, and total disregard for basic payroll obligations.

No one should have to chase their wages this way. Workers deserve to be treated with dignity and respect – not left out of pocket for weeks while Angard fails to do its job.

If you value being paid on time and treated fairly, avoid Angard Staffing at all costs.

I signed up with Angard to get a temporary or permanent Royal Mail position. I successfully completed the online application, and my application was approved. I didn’t receive any communication after that. I had to ring them multiple times for updates. Each time I was told that there were jobs still available and that my CV was of interest. They seemed to be just following a script, and just kept saying that the team would call back. I explained a dozen times, that it didn’t matter if i didn’t get the job, but that I would be grateful if they could let me know. They never did call me back. I have never come across anything like it. I don’t know if they are a struggling startup company, or they just don’t care. I would never use this company again, something is very amiss.

This is by far the worst agency royal mail have used for recruitment. They constantly make mistakes with hours, pay, paperwork ect. even RM managers say how bad they are at the most simple of tasks. if u can get them on the phone they are plain rude, interupting an talkin over you. avoid at all cost. wish i had seen the reviews online before joinin them. Royal mail are great an need to get rid of these frauds.

So applied for a job with Royal Mail on behalf of angard recruitment. I was booked in for an interview, Had a interview and all went well, they advised me I have got the job pending all my checks come back clear (which they would anyway) I was informed that the potential start date would be the 18th August. It has been over a week since I got any sort of emails regarding this job so I called the company many many times earlier this week and was told many times the person dealing with it will contact me and I will get calls backs blah blah blah, I did finally receive an email telling me that they are waiting on a list to be sent to see who is starting on the 18th August… we are now on Friday and still haven’t heard anything and after chasing up many times throughout the week I have been told different things ranging from they will call me to I will receive an email which never happened… communication was great at the start and is now very shocking!! Would not recommend working for these or applying for jobs with these as you will never hear anything back from them

Absolutely terrible company. When they don't pay what you are entitled you have to enter into an email battle with them that can take weeks to resolve. I have the emails to prove this. They will lie at first and then try to shift blame to you for any errors. They will use any tactics to extend the process before you finally, after much exhaustive persisting, paying something resembling what you are owed. I recently resigned and have been told by them that I need to request a P45 before they can pay me my accrued holiday pay. According to HMRC the onus is in the employer to provide a P45 to the employee upon termination of employment. One of their many lies and delaying tactics.
Angard is a partnership between Royal Mail and Reed. Reed should be ashamed to be associated with this.

Just writing this review to counterbalance all the other ones. Yes, Angard isn’t perfect. Is their customer service terrible? Yes. Do they sometimes send ludicrously late emails for shifts and changed the start time of booked shifts? Yes. But all the talk of scams and not getting paid and some of the things said in previous reviews are not true at all. I’ve never had an issue getting paid in three years of working for Angard / Royal Mail on and off.

I would give zero if I could ! Waste of space Shame on you royal mail !

I got offered a job turned up and was told ‘there is no job and I don’t need your ID as there’s no job here for you. Angard just send people’ I walked out and have been put on there books for a whole year. I’m so angry as I’ve been double taxed at my new job leaving me short of cash this month when I NEVER worked here.

Their agencies are the worst.

They easy to blacklist you if you refused to attend the shift which they suddenly changed the start time a few hours earlier than the time which booked, and inform you before the new start time half an hour ago, like you are always standby around to the site.

Once you refused their nonsense arrangement, you can feel you are blacklisted as you don't got the shift anymore, or you will only get message to fill the vacancies after the normal shift was started and not enough workers, and yes, you need to rush to the site no more than half an hour.

Really bad place for work. Unreliable pay may not even pay you for shifts you have done. Management are rude and aggressive. Vans are dirty and mechanically faulty. Work load is too much.. Stay clear..

Agree with the other reviews, and heard many same stories in the DO's , this mob use every trick in the book , not to pay you correctly ,only the other week, worked 6 days to be payed £312. They will pass the buck on , and have trained gatekeepers, to never admit their in the wrong. Sure theirs a newsdesk , willing to take up this story !

Seems that it’s some kind of scam. Phone number they use is recognised as suspected scam. Emails they write is non understandable. I just applied for the role,but will withdraw today. I think is such a waste of time.

You will be hired easily but you will never get paid.
