How to Ensure Employment Through a Job Recruitment Agency

A job recruitment agency generally functions like a representative of the employment seekers who come to it for help. Companies, who use an agency to hire suitable applicants for vacant positions they hold, shoulder the fees.

You must understand that getting the help of such agency does not mean definite employment on your part. But, there are techniques which you can practice to make the most out of it.

First and foremost, be proactive in spotting a reliable job recruitment agency. Ask people you know for recommendations. No organization will approach you and voluntarily ask for your resume. You must initiate this. Contact one and get all the information you need.

Next, request for an appropriate counselor. Honestly, communicate your thoughts – the kind of work you are looking for, your strengths and weaknesses and desired income among others. Provide your consultant a well-written resume. Include in it updated physical address, email address and contact numbers. If there are any changes in your contact details, be prompt in updating your counselor.

Do not be shy to call for follow-ups. Ask for the latest job openings; see if any one of them is in line with your field. Be polite when communicating with representatives of the agency. Treat them as you would treat your future employers.

Not all agencies operate in the same manner. Thus, it is important that you know what to expect from a reliable agency. Firstly, it collects resumes from interested applicants. Secondly, they are scheduled for an interview. In the interview, the points discussed are the skills, goals and the preferred jobs of each of the applicants. From that discussion, an excellent recruiter can draw your strengths and weaknesses which may not be visible in your resume. These may be used in giving you related employment opportunities.
