When you start a new role, the relationship with your recruitment agent is not over. Give them a call to let them know how you are settling in. Agents are well aware of the stresses that are associated with settling into a new position, and can provide an ear outside of your new workplace. If the role you got was a casual or contract position, its likely the agency pays your wages (on time) and looks after your health and safety, they are your offsite Human Resource contact.
