don’t. It’s a scam
If you’re looking to apply to Warehousesolutions don’t cause it’s a scam. Shady website, no company history anywhere, don’t even get a confirmation email. As the other person reviewing that said it, you’d be waiting for them to demand your money.

Warehousing Solutions. They demand your money.
I replied to a Security at Airports vacancy on Jooble and they were demanding money very aggressively and unprofessionally from me to pay for courses to do a security job. The courses were basic security qualifications you need to do some security jobs: The SIA licence which I already had and then the CCTV licence qualification and a First Aid one.
The last two cost £550 from them. The CCTV one £200 and First Aid one £350. I didn't have the money to pay but was trying to arrange it as the next job they had started in 6 days from my time of communicating with them. The training was on the site of the airports they offered work at.
Everything seemed relatively normal with this recruitment agency until the issue of money got involved and then things became seriously unprofessional and abnormal.
I initially hadn't seen their reply to my application as it went to my junk so I replied to it between 7-8pm on a Saturday night. I was surprised they replied quickly and then sent all the documents I had which they asked for. The only ones I didn't have were for the CCTV course and First Aid course.
Then this is where it got odd, their reply was payment details to a name which was not described as to who it was at all, it didn't match the woman emailing me which was understandable, just she didn't and should have told me who i'm paying for obvious reasons. And also the last line on that email was "Attach a clear proof of payment by email today in the next hour." This was 9pm a night.
The attitude of the woman called Anastasia wasn't coming across as professional during the emailing. Also her grammar and punctuation wasn't literate or professional which I found odd given it should be. No spelling mistakes just everything else below standard for what you'd expect a professional agency to have.
So yeah, they demanded the money, to someone I don't know or have any official recognition of "within the next hour." It was odd. The money for this job was good. Maybe suspiciously good or maybe Airport security just get more money. £18.50 base pay and £22.50 for night shift. £25ph for overtime. Good money so obviously seems a good job.
I didn't have £550 to pay but I wasn't going to rush to send them it, either as it seemed odd. The amounts for the courses seemed normal, just this was someone demanding money at 9pm on a Saturday night, rushing me for it and urging me to send £550 to a person i'm not actually talking to.
Just a lot of red flags. They said if I couldn't get on this job or pay then the next opening was April so it seemed like you had to take advantage of the opportunity which is understandable as recruitment for places is not always regular.
I said I needed to be able to arrange some of the money as I didn't have that full amount. Then they gave me a rude, odd and unprofessional attitude in response. The kind of attitude you'd expect a scammer to have once they start to get a sense of their scam isn't about to come off. But it's just the fact this should be a professional recruitment agency and should be sensitive and correct, you're asking for someone's hard earned money and a lot of it and they were pressuring me for it and getting aggravated they weren't getting it when they wanted, just totally unprofessional and wrong.
Bare in mind this was at a time of day where most if not all proper agencies aren't really operating, 9pm on a Saturday night. But of course a scammer is open for business then if they're scamming. They then started to say I had until 12am to pay it.
Just not normal, right? What kind of professional agency is demanding your money for one, but saying you MUST pay within an hour or by 12am. No professional business makes demands on your money, they have no right to and it's just not professional. Only a scammer acts that way to take advantage of the naive like "You must pay or you will miss out on this great thing." Pair that with their poor grammar, punctuation and stereotypical eastern european unprofessional nature and sense they are just a person trying to get your money, just too many bad signs.
When I said I can't pay and needed to arrange it they gave me until 12am to pay. Another red flag. I asked who the money was going to, they said the trainer. Yet they told me two different companies did the training, so how can it all be going to one person? Too suspicious.
I said I was trying to loan the money from a friend working late, so they gave me until 8am to pay. They said I can pay what I can afford asap & the rest by then. More pressure of "give me any of your money now." There was so much stress to just GIVE them money yet they stated nothing on what I get with no guarantees. Just seemed a scam.
I said I needed more time to find the money & the next day they said i'm "removed from the database." What professional agency treats people like this? I didn't give you loads of money asap so you cut ties? Scam vibes.
