Team up with a recruitment expert! You may think we are simply saying this because we want you to work with us, however, research has shown you have more chance of landing a role with expert support than you do on your own. An experienced recruiter can steer you in the right direction if you are unsure of where to start. They can also highlight and discuss roles you may not have previously considered that match your skillset and goals.

Don't forget, working with a recruiter is a free service and costs nothing but your time and cooperation!

Reasons why you should work exclusively with one recruiter

  • If your CV is in multiple places, there's a chance that it could be sent out to the same place multiple times. While you may think blasting out your CV in front of an employer a few times is a good thing. However, it actually has the opposite effect and can put a potential employer off. At VANRATH, we ensure your CV is in front of the right people at the right time.

  • It's one thing to have a well-written CV, but that coupled with a personal recommendation from a recruiter will help bump you to the top of the applicant pile!

  • Employers like exclusivity, they like the loyalty it highlights, and with that comes the confidence that you are serious about the role you have applied for.
