I very recently pondered on the impact of THE Agency (Recruitment) Limited on my life over the last 10 years and I reflected on how my life could have turned out so differently should I have not met the amazing ladies at THE Agency in Cleckheaton.
In May 2012, I applied online for a job in Bradford and was told by an another agency in Manchester that my credentials were not in line with the position and they were not putting my CV forward. I was hugely disappointed as I felt that I had all the skills and experience required for the role of Bi-lingual (English and French) speaking European Sales Co-ordinator.
Shortly after this call, THE Agency called me and said they felt that I was just what their client was looking for and so the story began. After an in depth interview and various online tests, my CV was put forward for the position – I was delighted!.
To this day, I have been grateful ever since as not only did I get the position of my dreams, but it has been, and still is the most amazing professional development I have ever wished for!
But more than that, THE Agency helped me relocate from Nottingham to Bradford and talked me through all of my fears of leaving my comfort zone and my friends in Nottingham to settle down in West Yorkshire. Shortly after my relocation I met my husband Nick and we soon after we became a family of 3 and welcome our beautiful son Maximillian. We also got engaged and eventually got married last summer.
THE Agency saw something in me and my work experience that no other agencies saw and provided me with this fantastic opportunity – my professional journey has been exceptional since then. That phone call was definitely a pivotal moment of my life and changed it for the best.
As my story tells, you are more than an agency. You are ‘THE Agency’ indeed! and I wish you an amazing success as you soon approach your 17th anniversary in business”.
