Why Use a Recruitment Firm?

As a job seeker, it is free to use the services of a recruitment firm. It is the client who pays the recruitment firm. You get help for free!

Ever heard of the 80/20 rule as it relates to finding new opportunities? The rule suggests that only 20% of jobs are actually posted on job boards, 80% of jobs companies hire for are never posted. Recruitment firms have access to a wide variety of job opportunities that may never get posted. By browsing websites of various recruitment firms, you can determine what types of positions they offer and if they can help you meet your objectives.

The goal of a recruitment consultant is to place you in a role that is the right fit for you, and company. Recruiters often have great knowledge of the job market, what industries or job types have more openings and what some realistic expectations could be for your job search. They can guide you through an interview process and advice how best to negotiate a great employment offer/salary.

 Recruiters can help provide you insights, such as:

• Does your resume meet the criteria for a particular positions
• Is there anything you could do to help clarify your skills and experience
• Identify transferable skills to highlight
• Find out what other industries or positions they could recommend
