Job Seekers – Recruitment Agencies are your Friends, not your enemies!
There are many myths about cooperation with the Human Resources Recruitment Agencies.It is said that the recruiters focus very little on the candidates and do not care about their interests. Sadly in many cases it’s the reality. That is why, people think it is better to apply directly to the companies rather than linking up with Recruitment Agency. However, the truth is that in some cases the lack of trust in the human resourcecompanies is completely unjustified. Let us share with you some of the key advantages of working with a Recruitment Company.
Why send us a CV?
Sending an application is usually the first step that a candidate has to take. Usually little is known about the Employerwhen a project first starts.Working with an Agency you can be sure that the recruitment is still open and you can gain valuable information about the Employer, benefits, unusual hiring requirements and many more.
In addition to the above partnering with an Agency allows the Candidates to gain access to other open vacancies, apart from the one they applied for. For example while working with the Candidatesthe Recruiter is able to share knowledge of other recruitment drives that would interest them. They are able to take part in more recruitment processes of interest which they wouldn’t have been aware of without our help.
Recruitment Agency should always storeresumes into their internaldatabase. This makes it easier for the Candidates to have the chance to take part in multiple recruitment processes without reapplication.Recruiters will first look in their internal CV database for Candidates who are available& suitable.If they come across someone, such as yourself, who matches the required skill sets for a role they will contact you to see if you are interested.
This means more chance of getting involved in a recruitment process that is interesting to you with less work! How good is that?
