A number of questions arise in the minds of candidates as soon as they step into the dynamic world of job search with demands and skill sets changing every now and then. A clear answer to these questions lies in reaching out to a recruitment agency. 

Here is why you should immediately seek a recruitment agency’s services;

• IT’S FREE:

You don’t have to pay a single dime to open this pool of opportunities! The recruitment agency does not charge a candidate to place their CV in their database since they are hiring for a business and charge the business for their services.

• BETTER CHANCES OF GETTING INTERVIEW CALLS:

Did you know what the first task of a recruiter is each working day? To update their database and go through any relevant match for a new job that already exists within the system hence, it is ideal for your CV to be in the database! The staffing agency usually has a strong client relationship with the businesses they are hiring for which increases your chances of getting an interview call based on their recommendation.

• INTERNATIONAL OR REMOTE JOBS:

A huge channel to reach out to international business franchises is through recruitment agencies since they hire for all kinds of positions may it be work from home, hybrid or on-site. You have at least have 5% more probability to get hired through an agency rather than on your own, especially for remote opportunities.

• DON’T MISS OUT ON JOBS THAT ARE NOT PUBLICIZED:

The open roles that are a good fit are presented to you by recruiters. Most of these roles will not be presented on social media because once a business hires a recruitment agency, it is likely that they won’t publish that position on their own pages. Businesses that use recruiters typically won’t bother themselves since the entire process of human resource outsourcing is based on trusting the agency and letting the recruitment agency take the lead. 

• EAGER TO GET YOU HIRED:

The biggest benefit of a recruiter is that they know what they’re doing! It is literally their job to get you hired. They are as eager for you as you are for them to find you a good match. You and your recruiting agency are always on the same side due to the interest you unknowingly share with them. You want an amazing job and get paid well, they want to hire you for an amazing job so they get paid well. It’s a win-win situation!

• NEGOTIATIONS:

An important role recruiters play is that of a negotiator. An example of this would be a business owner who wants to hire experienced candidates to expand his business for which he reaches out to a recruitment agency where Alex (recruiter) gets assigned to his business. Now Alex has a pool of applicants in the database but he knows the process and that Ali is paying below the market rate for this job so they won’t get a decent response. Here comes the point where the recruiter negotiates for the candidate (you) to strike a balance and make a decent offer to you. These negotiations are usually successful since the recruiters have an enterprising attitude and they convince and help employers understand how this would help in employee retention and the sustainability of the firm.

• COUNSELING AND GUIDANCE:

Once you send your resume or CV to a recruitment agency, you can trust them to go through it thoroughly. Your CV is an opportunity for them to acquire business hence it automatically concerns them if there is any loophole or needs for an update or formatting. In such a case, the recruiter will reach out to you and provide feedback for changes that makes you more easily employable.

There is absolutely no downside to placing your CV in a recruitment agency’s database. The only addition to your job search process is the chance of your employability increasing and a greater number of opportunities.
