Get the recruitment agency working for you

E-mail Print PDF

I often hear the complaint that a recruitment agency isn't working hard enough for somebody.

The first thing I ask that person is how hard they are working for the recruitment agency.

They're a business, and they want to spend their time on people who will help them succeed in their goal of putting bums on seats in jobs.

Keep in touch with them. Show interest in suitable new jobs that appear on their website. Try to speak to the same recruitment adviser each time you phone up, and chat and joke with them occasionally.

That said, it's a common mistake to rely on one job search method. Don't forget to network, apply for jobs directly and scour job ads and jobs boards.
