Recruitment Agency's - How to find them & do I need them?

Recruitment Agency's

Recruitment Agency’s are in EVERY town and City across the UK. They offer a range of different services to both their Clients and job seekers. Some are only interested in Temporary vacancies and some will only recruit for Permanent positions while others will Recruit for both!

So what service do recruitment agency’s offer?


Well, they mainly play a 'piggy in the middle' role, acting as the middle man between the Employer and the Candidate or Job Seeker. They will often do much of the recruitment process on behalf of the Employer. This can include all the advertising, screening and interviewing. If they are recruiting for a Temporary vacancy, they may even pay the Candidate directly for work done and re-claim the money from the Employer.

So, Recruitment Agency’s can offer a valuable service to both Employers and Job seekers but do you need to use one?

Well, I suppose the answer to this question will depend really on the sort of job you are looking for. If you are looking for temp jobs, then you will almost certainly benefit from working with a recruitment agency.

Did you know that many jobs are never actually advertised?

Why? Because Recruitment Agency’s already have vast databases of active job seekers so they don’t have to spend money on advertising jobs.

So how can you gain access to these jobs?

Simple, register your CV with some Recruitment Agency’s. I am sure that if you 'Google' Recruitment Agency’s you will produce a list of thousands that you could approach - but there is a better way!
