CHOOSING A RECRUITMENT AGENCY
When selecting an agency to assist with your career journey, it's crucial to consider the following factors:
Specialisation: Does the agency focus on recruiting for roles in your industry and location? Are they experts in permanent or contract employment?
Reputation: Look for an agency with a strong reputation, such as being a member of recognized trade organizations like the REC. Research their consultants on platforms like LinkedIn to gauge their credibility.
Understanding: A reputable agency will take the time to understand your skills, experience, and career aspirations. They should demonstrate a deep understanding of your field and be able to match you with suitable opportunities.
Support: Consider the level of support the agency offers, from refining your CV to providing insights about prospective employers and guiding you through interviews. A good agency will provide valuable advice to help you succeed in your job search and beyond.
