How Recruitment Agencies Can Help Find You the Right Job

Looking for a job can be a time consuming and frustrating experience. Telephone interviews, in person interviews, waiting for a call that sometimes doesn't arrive can all add up to stress that makes it hard to focus and find that job we are seeking. When we have done everything we can think of to find that job, what else can we do? One answer might be to try a recruitment agency.

The customers of job recruitment agencies are the employers. It is in the agencies interest to place candidates, because when a candidate that they recommend is hired, the agency gets paid. The employer and the agency work out the terms of the commission amount. This relationship is best explained by saying that the recruitment agency is there to serve the needs of the human resource department of the organization. The quicker an agency finds the right candidate, the quicker they get paid.

Agencies keep a database of potential candidates to make their match quickly and efficiently. When an opportunity comes up, agencies will contact candidates to see if they are still looking for a job, and if available, the agency will do an interview, sometimes at that moment on the phone to determine the candidates match, as well as get any relevant updates, and will often send qualified candidates over immediately.

If you have reached a point in your job search where you feel as though all your options have been gone through, an agency might be able to put you in contact with a job, the one that you really want, that you haven't been able to locate on your own.

As a prospective candidate, you don't pay any fees to an agency, the company hiring does. The agency takes care of all arrangements, setting up the interview, and following up after the interview with you to see how it went. If it is not the right fit, they will continue to look for you until a job is found.

The best way to maximize your experience using a job agency is to communicate everything with them that is relevant to your search. Give them testimonials from previous employers. Show them your qualifications. Perhaps you have been in school, or have found you have a strong attraction to certain types of jobs. Give all of this to the agency so it is considered when you are competing for jobs. Having an agency look for you can help find that all elusive, perfect job that you could not find on your own, at no cost to you.
