The recession has hit the length and breadth of the nation and competition for jobs is higher than it's been since the 1920's. There is no such thing as a job for life anymore and companies are making staff cutbacks all over the place. With this in mind, people are really starting to see that training and education and getting yourself out there in the way of potential employers is the only way to get noticed.
This is where recruitment agencies come in. They are more adept at dealing with specific industries and many recruitment agencies will concentrate on a specific industry such as office workers or chefs or nursing staff. There are also some that are specific to certain geographic locations.
East Anglia jobs will be advertised with agencies such as Hales Group and others. This means that anybody living in that area and looking for work can register with the agency and give themselves a much better chance of finding work.
Recruitment agencies are a much more professional route for employers to take when they are looking for new staff. The agency will already have a book of potential employees with all their credentials listed and this then enables them to match up employer with employee. They will also advertise the position to those not currently signed up with the agency, enabling the employer to get the best of whoever may be looking for work signing up with a recruitment agency will often tell the employer who is really serious about looking for work.
This cuts out some of the leg work for the employer. It means that they get a short list of suitable candidates to choose from. It also prevents those looking for work from wasting their time applying for unsuitable positions.
If you visit the website of a recruitment agency you will find a whole list of jobs and a search criteria form. You can narrow down your search to a specific job type or industry, to a specific area or even to a minimum salary or hours. This saves precious time and stops you having to wade through reams of jobs that aren't right for you.
Of course, getting a job is not always just about qualifications. With employers having the upper hand these days they can afford to be choosy and may also be looking for someone with what would normally be a hidden drive and sense of confidence. This can come across in your activities outside of work which is why such things are always worth putting on a CV.
Recruitment agencies will usually have a CV help service where they can assist you with maximising your potential.
In these days where the competition for jobs is so fierce you simply cannot lose out by lodging your CV with a recruitment agency.
