Job recruitment – what does a recruitment agency do?

Posted on June 30, 2015 at 9:37 pm

If you are searching for a new job then you may consider registering with a recruitment agency to help you find work, but what can they do for you?

Normally a recruitment agency will specialise in a certain area of recruitment this could be anything such as recruitment within education or recruitment within the finance sector. If possible then it’s best to try to register with a more specific recruitment agency that specialises in your field of work.

The recruitment agent will then ask you to come in for a chat, this will be in the style of an informal interview normally where they will look through your CV and talk about your particular skill set.

They will then usually go away and check if they have any suitable positions that they would like to put you forward for. If they do they will then ask you to complete an application form and arrange a formal interview for you at the selected company.

After the interview they will call you to offer feedback and hopefully to give you the offer of employment.
