	I have worked closely with 'The Agency Search and Select Ltd' for a number of years because they understand our business and always deliver a high quality shortlist of candidates against any brief given. A recent example is when we were seeking both an Operations Manager and Training Manager to augment our existing team. As a result of tight time pressures we put the positions out to a number of agencies. The Agency Search and Select Ltd found both candidates with minimum fuss. The end result was impressive, but for me the knowledge and understanding of the candidates was critical in achieving this. Each stage of the recruitment process is managed professionally with effective communication. The Agency Search and Select Ltd make the recruitment process both time and cost effective with a quality result. Gavin Peace \| Divisional HR Manager \| The Restaurant Group PLC

	During the course of our business, TSC have used many agencies and many have offered a one stop shop yet failed to deliver. When using the services of The Agency we not only found this solution, but discovered an agency which is truly non transactional and thoroughly consultative to our needs. Our Account Manager understands our business, is flexible to our needs from a provision perspective and has become a true extension to our own recruitment department. I have no hesitation in recommending Danielle and The Agency for any form of recruitment at any level, and look forward to continuing our close business relationship. Amy Scargill \| Recruitment Manager

	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. Lynda Hodgson \| Business Manager \| Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust

	We have worked with The Agency from the earliest days of the firm and we still turn to them first today. They have grown with us and have a keen eye for the types of individuals we are looking for. More than anything we value the focus on providing pre-screened candidates which is where the value is really added. Our managers are busy and sifting hundreds of unscreened CV's is not the best use of time. It helps that Darren and his team have always been responsive, friendly and straight forward in their dealings with us. Jon Slinn \| Managing Director \| Rockshore
