Recruitment agencies are a useful resource as part of your job search strategy.
Here are just a few reasons why:
| 1. | Recruitment agencies have access to a wider variety of opportunities, many organisations prefer to use a recruitment firm than to advertise themselves. |
| 2. | Using a recruitment agency in your job search will save you time, you need only apply once to have access to a number of opportunities. |
| 3. | Recruitment Consultants can offer salary advice and help you get what you’re really worth! |
| 4. | Contract work gives you the opportunity to increase your skills and work experience as well as try working in different industries. |
| 5. | Be ahead of the game! Your consultant can provide you with more insight in to the company, the job, the interviewer, the culture, the environment and much much more. |
| 6. | Recruitment agencies can put you in touch with companies you haven't even heard of who may be able to offer you a great opportunity. |
| 7. | Recruitment agencies offer support and advice on improving your résumé and interview techniques. |
| 8. | Using a recruitment agency reduces the number of times your referees are contacted. A recruitment consultant needs only to call them once regardless of how many jobs they put you forward for. |
| 9. | Maintain confidentiality, your consultant will retain your personal contact details and referee details until you give your permission to release them. |
| 10. | It's FREE, it won't cost you a cent! So why wouldn't you? |
