Google review removal for recruitment agencies
Candidates you never placed can still review you, and clients read those reviews before they call.
Recruitment is reviewed by three audiences at once: candidates who applied, workers on assignment and client businesses. A large share of the reviews come from people with no placement record at all.
Agency CRM data is strong evidence, and it usually settles whether the reviewer was ever registered, interviewed or placed.

Where agency reviews come from
These are the patterns we see most often across temp, contract and permanent desks.
- Reviews from applicants with no registration, no application and no interview on file
- Content naming a consultant personally, including claims about their conduct or honesty
- Complaints about a client's site or a hiring manager, which are not about your agency's service
- Reviews from former employees, or from a rival agency's candidate after a lost placement
Evidence the CRM can provide
Registration and placement records answer the central question quickly.
- A candidate search under the reviewer's name, email and telephone number
- Placement and timesheet history showing whether any assignment ever existed
- Consultant assignment records showing who was responsible for which desk and vacancy
Replying to candidate complaints
Where a candidate genuinely applied and was unsuccessful, the review usually stays. A reply that explains your process, warmly and without reference to the individual, is worth more than an argument.
- Never discuss a specific application, interview or client in public
- Keep responses consistent, since candidates compare notes across review platforms
- Ask placed candidates and clients for reviews at the end of an assignment, when sentiment is strongest
Questions we get asked
Often yes, where the review implies a service you provided. Nothing in your CRM matches them, so the content does not describe a genuine experience of your agency.
Usually. Content that names and attacks an individual falls under Google's harassment and personal information policies, and that argument is independent of the recruitment dispute.
It can be. Where the substance is about working conditions at another company's premises, we would assess it as off-topic content for your business profile.
