testimonials
Below are a small selection of kind comments we have received from clients and candidates alike.
Neil Beety
Business Development Manager Enterprise CPS
The last 20 years of recruiting a wide variety of staff has been made significantly easier by the fact that staff at The Agency genuinely understand our requirements, thoroughly vet potential candidates and propose only suitable applicants.
The résumés provided by The Agency have proved an individual insight into candidate competencies, a real time saver.
These are qualities claimed by many agencies, but achieved by few.
Philip Marsh
Candidate
I found the team at The Agency very professional whilst also friendly and in good humour. Within a week of signing on at The Agency I had already started in my new full-time position.
Now, almost six months later, I am still working with the same company having moved onto a permanent contract and a new position, but throughout my time as a "temp" I found The Agency were always happy to offer assistance where necessary and would always try to answer any questions or queries as soon as possible. I would definitely approach The Agency again in the future and recommend them to anyone searching for employment or career opportunities.
Linda Burgess
Candidate
As a full-time housewife for 20 years the need to return to employment was a daunting prospect. During a shopping trip to Sheffield I was passing The Agency and decided to call in. This turned out to be one of the best decisions I have made. The Agency consultant welcomed me warmly, made me feel completely at ease, gave me a cup of coffee and discussed my employment prospects. Within a week I was in my first "placement", which she had chosen particularly for me as she knew the people at the "placement" and felt it would be an ideal location for my return to work. She was right and I thoroughly enjoyed the work.
Marion Heron
Director of Operations EEF Sheffield
I have used the services of The Agency since their inception.
During this time, I have found their staff to be professional and helpful and able to interpret the needs of our organisation. This has saved me much time and effort in lengthy recruitment exercises as, on many occasions, the candidate they have sent to us has been ideal for the job.
Stephanie Spowart
Client Services Director The Bright Partnership Ltd
We recently consulted The Agency to help in our search for an Office Manager. After listening carefully to our requirements they didn't send the CV's of all the suitable candidates on their books, just the top six - saving me a lot of time and effort.
The hard part was actually choosing one from the six!
David Kirkham
Candidate
I have been really impressed by the knowledge and friendliness of the team at The The Agency. Because they are a local agency, they have an extremely good knowledge of the local jobs market, and have strong links with some of the biggest employers in the area. Assignments that The Agency have found for me include working in the admin team at South Yorkshire Strategic Health Authority, The Sheffield University and Sheffield SWPCT.
Eileen Atkinson
Recruitment Manager Norwich Union
The service I have received over the years has proved to be professional, efficient and effective. The key to the service has been the consistency, which is highly valued by Norwich Union Insurance.
Norwich Union has large recruitment drives, with volumes on occasions reaching the requirement of 50 candidates each month. Extremely tight deadlines are given and, I am pleased to confirm, achieved. The Agency's commitment to their clients is evident in the service received, which gives a clear indication of their experience and extensive knowledge of their industry.
I would like to commend The Agency and their professional team for their service, which is excellent. I wish The Agency every success and look forward to continuing our successful relationship in the future.
Lynda Hodgson
Business Manager Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust
I am the Business Manager within a large Teaching Hospital in Sheffield, and am responsible for a specialised department which serves all of the population within North Trent. I manage 80 whole time equivalent administrative and clerical staff.
Without the help and support of The Agency, I would on many occasions have been unable to provide a quality service to the Consultant Medical Staff.
Recruitment within Sheffield for medical secretaries is very difficult. The Agency have been able to provide suitably qualified staff for both short and longer term cover. Several have been successful in securing substantive posts, within my unit.
I have recommended The Agency to many of my colleagues, who like myself are proud to do business with them.
Louise Montgomery
Human Resources Officer DLA Piper Rudnick Gray Cary UK
The Agency has been most helpful in finding and screening candidates for our vacancies. The team have taken time out to understand our culture and work extremely hard to find candidates that fit our requirements by going that extra mile. We have been particularly impressed by their efforts and commitment...always a pleasure to work with.
Stuart Hall
Associate Office Manager Building Design Partnership
I have used The Agency for a number of years now to provide both temporary and permanent administration staff. I have always found the staff at The Agency to be very customer focussed, professional in their approach to recruitment and efficient in matching candidates to our requirements.
What I like about this company compared to other recruitment agencies is their attention to detail; by getting to know our company and by forming a personal specification that matches the professional nature of our business, it has meant that I can rely on them to only put forward candidates that would suit our requirements in every respect.
I have no hesitation in recommending The Agency to anyone looking for a professional outfit to look after their personnel requirements.
