Due to the downturn in the market Lisa was faced with a redundancy situation late last year and decided to seek alternative work with a smaller recruitment business. At the start of 2009, Lisa approached THE Agency and has been with us ever since! Initially temping for one of THE Agency’s major clients, Lisa is now managing and overseeing this account on a day to day basis and prides herself in being able to offer temporary workers first hand knowledge of the roles that she is recruiting for. With a natural talent for service delivery, Lisa is a huge asset to our business and has played an integral role in its ongoing success even during one of the worst recessions this century. To contact Lisa please email her at LISAFAULKNER@THEAGENCY.ORG.UK |
Additionally as Corporate Members of the REC, THE Agency prides itself on it's commitment to the recruitment industry and can assure both candidates and clients that their work ethics, principles and quality processes are backed by "the voice" of the industry that they are so passionate about.
Additionally, links with other local businesses are paramount to ensure that they are in prime position to source the best possible opportunities for candidates and can offer local businesses a cost effective and efficient recruitment service based upon their own visions for their business.
Our vision at THE AGENCY is twofold. For our Candidates we aim to be the preferred choice when selecting a cutting edge recruitment service, and in return we will offer an honest, open and confidential service.
For our Clients we aim to operate as an extension of their HR function - by providing a consultancy service that goes far beyond fulfilling their short term recruitment needs.
As such, we aspire to be the ultimate recruitment experience.
We are not aiming to be the biggest player in the field, but prefer to concentrate on caring for our candidate and client needs, by being at the forefront of the business; offering wise and considerate decisions at all times.
We look forward to working with you and hope that you will benefit from our unique service, our philosophies and our strong work ethic.


With over 20 years experience within the recruitment sector, Kim is a dedicated recruitment professional with Fellowship status of the REC (The Recruitment Industry's Governing Body).
Our "one in a million" PA Catherine Smith is without doubt the administrative nucleus of our business. Her infectious "can do" attitude never fails and with 2 busy consultants to support, her day is never dull!
Having been made redundant from a successful career in publishing, Lisa ‘stumbled’ into recruitment over 10 years ago. Initially tasked with nurturing and developing a specialist division for an international recruitment agency Lisa was subsequently head hunted to manage 3 of the largest ‘on-site’ national accounts in the UK - Mars, Procter &Gamble and Johnson & Johnson across the North of England.
