subject: Using It Recruitment Agencies While Still In School [print this page] When you are almost finished with your college education you begin to worry about whether or not you will be able to find the job you want, in the city you want to work in, that pays enough money for you to survive. With the economy being poor you are hearing so many horror stories of people being out of work, and college educations being a waste of money, that you naturally become concerned that when you finish with your education you are going to be an educated couch potato. Never fear, IT recruitment agencies can solve those problems for you.
Before you graduate you can go online and look up some of the IT recruitment agencies and research their policies. You can read customer reviews from other people that have used them, and you can see what it will take to get them to hunt a job for you. Not all companies will hunt for work for individuals who have not yet finished their education, but many of them are perfectly willing to take on clients who have yet to graduate.
IT recruitment agencies will need you to fill out some paperwork telling them about yourself. They will need to know about your background and any previous employers you have had. Even if these employers were not in the field of study you desire employment in. Your past work history can tell an employer how stable you appear to be, and can show them that you are responsible. You will of course need to provide the agency with details like your social security number, your birth date, your address, your phone number, and what school you are attending. They need to know what you are majoring in and when you will be graduating from your classes.
The agency may require some other personal information if the companies they work for have requested they do a thorough criminal background check before they recommend a person for employment. Many companies do these criminal background checks and having the agency do it before you get out of school and start searching for employment will save you time.
Some companies have the agency do things like the preliminary drug screenings on potential employees as well. This will also save you valuable time when you are searching for a job. You also know that if you make it to the point where the agency wants to do a drug screen for a company that you are very close to getting the position.
The agent that works with your profile will be able to look for work for you, place applications at all companies that seem to fit your personal preferences. They can talk to the human resource departments at the different companies and set up interviews for you. They will go the distance trying to see that you have a position waiting for you when you cross the stage and receive that certificate from the college administrators.
The people that search for employment while they are still in school are some of the most dedicated employees a company can hire.
Using IT recruitment agencies to secure you a position at a company before you graduate from college can make your life easier. Securing a job by using IT recruitment agencies can provide you with opportunities that might otherwise have been unavailable to you.
