When Do You Need To Use Recruitment Agencies?
Should you use recruitment agencies to help with your job search
? If you have been searching for a job for some time, with little response, or no interview calls, it may be better to get some help to expand your search. For higher level positions, recruitment agencies are often privy to positions that are not openly advertised. Because of the wider level of industrial contacts, many of the job-search firms will be aware of openings that are not publicly disclosed. They can also assist with distribution of your resume, and marketing of your talents to potential employers.
Recruitment agencies are often contracted by companies for assistance in filling vacant positions. It becomes the job of the agency, to solicit individuals who may be suitable for specified positions. The agents, sometimes known as head-hunters, may be the ones who will contact you, to present a vacancy, or alternatively, you could send your resume to an agent, to apply for a position.
Head-hunters spend much of their time looking for job openings, and they also spend time in trying to find people to fill these positions. They are compensated for saving time and resources for both the employer, and the job-seeker.
There is an interesting relationship that can develop between the employers, the potential employee, and the recruitment agencies. Employers may often get to trust agencies that refer employees who turn out to be great assets to the company, and may turn to them whenever there are positions to be filled. A bit more prestige is often attached to candidates that are presented by recruiters. Additionally, your qualifications and talents are professionally presented to the company, because they are paid to do so. They can also be helpful in negotiating compensation.
Some job-seekers may question the different approaches between paying a job-Search firm or using recruitment agencies for connections to potential employers. One of obvious benefits to using the agency, that is not easily overlooked, is that they are compensated by your prospective employer.
If you are looking for a job in a specific industry, it may be best to use someone who knows the industry, many of the industrial professional associations, can provide a list of recruiters that work in your specific industry.
There are several ways to find good recruiters to help with your job search. There are perhaps hundreds, if not thousands of directories on line that contain information on recruiters. The options you may need, should include being able to search by desired location, or specified industry. Recruiters may also specialize not only in job category, but also in job levels.
Do not assume that all recruiters are the same, and there are some ways that you can discern whether the agent is right for you. It is important to remember, that contacting a good recruiter, does not signal the end of your job-search. You are now involved in the process of developing another professional relationship, and it should be treated as such. You must also remain actively involved in job-Search activities, until you have officially landed the job.
Using
recruitment agencies can be an effective tool to help job-seekers. They can not only save time, but
recruitment agencies will have wider and easier access to talent that can be hired quickly.
