Looking for a new job takes time and effort. When you sign up with a recruitment agency, you have someone working on your search with you: a consultant who knows the trade and the employers in it.
Here is what a good consultant can do for you.
A consultant who knows the trade
Recruitment consultants work with employers and candidates every day. Over time they learn how each company works, what it looks for in people and what its teams are like.
That knowledge helps them match you to roles that suit your skills and the way you like to work. It also means they can explain to an employer why you’re right for the job.
Access to more roles
Employers often tell their agency first when they need someone. Some roles are never advertised at all, and are filled from the people the agency already knows.
When you’re registered, your consultant can call you as soon as a suitable role comes in. In a busy market, hearing early can make the difference.
Agencies also handle contract, temporary and part-time roles. These are often hard to fill and needed quickly, so being registered puts you in line for them.
Moving quickly
Employers usually want to fill roles fast, and a good consultant keeps things moving. They arrange interviews, follow up on decisions and keep you updated, so your application doesn’t stall.
Help with your CV and interviews
Your consultant knows what employers are looking for, so they can tell you what to keep, change or add on your CV.
Before an interview, they can tell you about the employer, the people you’ll meet and what a strong candidate looks like. They can also suggest good questions to ask.
Honest feedback
If you don’t get the job, your consultant can find out why and pass it on. Clear, constructive feedback helps you go into the next interview better prepared.
Advice on your next step
Finding a role that fits your skills, your goals and your values isn’t easy. A consultant who knows the industry can talk through your options and help you choose the right next move.
One point of contact
Instead of keeping track of lots of separate applications, you deal with one person. Your consultant keeps you updated at each stage and is there when you have questions.
