There are plenty of benefits to using a recruitment agency to find your next job:

Recruiters will often reach out to you with a position they feel fits your career history and skills and many of these positions will be unavailable to the public. That's right - companies will often use specialist recruitment agencies to find the best talent available so 90% of the time won't bother advertising the role on their website.

Recruitment agencies have your best interests at heart, and just because a role has come up that matches your job history and skills doesn't necessarily mean it is the right fit for you. The recruiter will make sure that the role suits your personality and career goals before putting you forward to the company.

At each stage of the recruitment process, your recruiter will offer you additional help and support to increase your chances of securing the role and address any concerns that you may have.

During your initial call with a recruiter, they will suggest ways for you to improve your CV and identify other opportunities in different sectors that you may not have considered before.

One of the great things about searching for your next role with a recruitment agency is that it's completely free. You won't be charged any fees for signing up with them or using their expertise

The way you register with a recruitment agency has changed since Covid-19 hit. In the past where you would nip into the office to sign up without an appointment, it's now advised that you call up prior to having a discussion with them to ensure there are roles available in your industry.
