I’ve been there just once to register my details and can tell I had an excellent impression from start. Very friendly and straight forward. Also the appointment I had with Marie the Director offered a great atmosphere to show your true self and future aspirations. Very professional overall.

By far the best agency I’ve ever dealt with, if you ever find yourself in need of a new job I cannot recommend The Staff Agency enough. Really friendly staff that actually care about getting you into work. Brilliant communication and make you feel valued.
Matt Calderwood Top TipsTry not to monopolise the meeting – let your interviewer talk. If they do not tell you, find out what are the key parts of the candidate specification so you can show how you meet them.
Never, ever embellish the truth in your job application, no matter how well you think you can cover it up. It only takes a quick phone call for the interviewer to discover that your First in Biochemistry from Oxford is actually a NVQ in Food Science from your local community college. Highlight the positives in your CV, and don’t include blatant lies – even in the section on your leisure activities.
You are not an obvious candidate for a job if you currently work in a different sector, so you need to grab the employer’s attention early. List all relevant skills and achievements on the first page. Include any relevant outside-work activities and training you are taking or are about to embark on. Then list your employment dates and job titles on the second page. Consider tweaking your job title to fit an employer’s jargon. If they are advertising for a ‘personnel specialist’ and your previous role was a HR adviser, call yourself a ‘personnel specialist’. There is no difference in roles but you are gaining an edge by aligning yourself with that position.
Recheck your paperwork and your ‘script’ – i.e. the smile, the first words (greeting and your name). Be polite to support staff you meet, including those at the consultancy. They count too and may influence a decision in your favour.
