I just wanted to thank you all at THE Agency for being so good! You have all been so helpful and friendly and done everything above and beyond what would be expected of a recruitment agency. If I ever need an agency again, you will be my first call. Thank you so much for everything.

Working for THE Agency has no doubt been a 100% positive experience. I would definitely recommend others to it regardless of their specific job fields, because THE Agency has more than accommodated what I was expecting.
- Roy Mahoney
Whatever background you have had and however long you have been employed, the effect of redundancy is devastating. You lose self-esteem, confidence and willpower, you feel rejected and unwilling to change direction.
A couple of meetings with Kim will put you right back on track and you will learn new things about yourself, to an attitude of can do.

"It is very difficult to improve on excellence! THE Agency is one of the most professional, approachable company’s I have ever had the pleasure to deal with".
- Shakeela Azim - Legal Clerk Bradford
In my opinion THE Agency is the best that I have been to. The staff are very professional and willing to listen to what I had to say about meeting my own goals as well as giving sound advice about their opinions as to what would be a good career move. THE Agency also takes into consideration a candidate's experience, realistic locations and travelling distances for opportunities with their clients and of course matches the right person to the job; everything about the service is planned and is very professional.
- Stephanie Helliwell – Collections Advisor
Kim at THE Agency is a fantastic recruitment consultant. She really gives it that friendly approach and makes you feel positive about looking for employment. I would recommend anyone, in fact it’s that good I recommended my mother! Thanks Kim for your help

I found Kim and all at THE Agency compassionate and supportive during my search for a new job. Nothing was too much trouble and they were all willing to go the extra mile for me.
- Francine Graham - Teacher
What a fantastic recruitment company with friendly, helpful and considerate staff who aim top get you a job as quick as they can and who are always in contact with you to enable you to reach your goals. Thank you so much ladies!
- Maggie Magee – Medical Receptionist
THE Agency staff are always friendly and helpful; they always have time to listen. I signed up with THE Agency for a permanent position (it was quite difficult to get one because of the credit crunch). However, THE Agency got me a temp position which was great, after 3 months of temping I was offered a full time position with the company I temped at. Now I have a great job thanks to THE Agency.
- Maxine King - Accounts
My experience with THE Agency was nothing but positive. As I’m taking a gap year before university, I wanted to gain some work experience to ‘bulk up’ my CV. THE Agency is a highly professional, approachable and friendly company; and was able to find me an ideal temporary placement that I gained so much from. I’d definitely recommend THE Agency to anybody, with no reservations whatsoever. Thanks so much to Kim and Lisa for all your help and support!!
- Emma Kaye - Graduate
A very good friendly service. It has been a great help in finding me a permanent job, and I would recommend THE Agency to my friends and family.
- Dawn Foster – Management Accountant
THE Agency really does listen to you. They understand what you require and match you perfectly with the assignment. I would recommend THE Agency to anyone seeking employment or looking for the perfect candidate. They really are, by far, the best agency I have worked for.
- Sue Reddington – Medical Receptionist
From the first time I went to THE Agency they made me feel relaxed and comfortable whilst still being professional with helping me find the right job to fit my work experience and knowledge. Since that day they have not only been the best agency I have known but also been very good friends to me. I would certainly recommend them to anyone who is looking for work or seeking to employ anyone.
- Amy Calvert – Student (Gap year)
I was secured a temporary contract only a few weeks after registering with THE Agency. The girls provided a friendly, yet extremely professional service and I received lots of support and advice. I will definitely use THE Agency again. Many thanks girls!
- Wendy Parkin Office Manager/PA – LSi Limited
I have worked with recruitment agencies for a number of years and been sadly disappointed until I began working with THE Agency. Kim is a wonderful recruitment consultant with a genuine passion for what she does. You receive a personalised approach and outstanding service. To date I think Kim must have placed half the staff in our Company. We were so impressed that we gave THE Agency preferred supplier status and have not been disappointed. I can’t recommend highly enough Kim and her team.
- Jacky Wilcock Recruitment Officer Provident Personal Credit
I have worked with Kim Barnes for nearly 17 years now and during that time we have built up a concrete business relationship.
As a Recruitment Specialist I have to have confidence in the agencies we, as a Company use, and over the years we have followed Kim during her career as she has never failed to meet our requirements and manage our expectations.
We can be a very difficult Company to work with because of the diverse range of roles we have to fill, from Self Employed to Management. Over the years, Kim has always been straight with us and has never taken a vacancy which she knew she would find difficult to fill.
We greatly value her expertise and knowledge in the field of Recruitment and we look forward to carrying on the business relationship we have with her into the future.
- Jayne Cox HR Ciba Speciality Chemicals
I have known Kim for more than 14 years in her role as a professional recruitment consultant and I am delighted to confirm my complete satisfaction with the service she has provided.
Kim works to very high standards and makes every effort to understand fully her client's needs and match them to potential candidates. This ensures that best use is made of time, both for the client and the candidate, and is a valuable contribution to delivering an all round satisfactory appointment.
I can recommend Kim to potential future clients without hesitation and her focus on providing total quality customer service will help to develop mutually profitable, long term business relationships.
I would be more than happy to provide further information to potential clients of THE Agency.
- Demelza Cocks, HR Manager - Carphone Warehouse 2000 - 2003
Kim Barnes was one of the Partners in that agency who made contact and impressed me from the outset.
I needed to recruit for all levels of positions from PA's, Finance Graduates and Senior Management positions across all head office functions, even call centre staff.
It is very hard to put in to words the efficiency of the service I received from Kim. In many cases the candidates were so well matched to my requirements it was a hard decision to choose between them.
Kim was extremely professional and took the time to understand the company culture, the role and also the personality of the Recruiting Manager to ensure an ideal match. The candidates and temporary staff supplied also commented on how well they were looked after through the process by Kim and her team. I could not fault the follow up from Kim and also the level and frequency of contact. I would not hesitate to work with Kim in the future.
