Recruiters present you with open positions that you're suited for. Many of these positions will be exclusive or unavailable to the public. Why? For one, if companies use a recruiter, they usually won't bother with advertising the job themselves. They're happy to leave finding new employees entirely in the hands of the experts. Secondly, advertising on job boards to the public isn't used as often as you might think. The benefit of recruiters is that they are proactive and know how to get in front of the right people, starting with reaching into their extensive network and large database of candidates. For recruiters, job boards are a reactive secondary resource that incurs a cost, so a lot of opportunities never end up being posted on job boards at all. If you solely-depend on job search websites, you're likely to be missing out on many great opportunities.

Even if there are no positions available when you first chat to a recruiter, don't be disheartened. You'll still be in the recruitment agency's database or on your recruiter's radar so when something suitable does pop up, they'll be in touch!
