Recruitment Agencies

You can register only with one agency.

3. You can learn about agencies work by going into contact with Recruitment and Employment Confederation.

4. Connexion Centers give you only the information about vacancies what are on offer.

5. Recruitment agencies differ from each other. They pay their attention to different points.

Jobs are now advertised in so many different places, papers, Job Centers, magazines, website or via e-mail and mobile, it can be hard to know where to start. The trick is to be selective rather than allowing yourself to feel bombarded. Don’t waste your time travelling through a site that specializes in nursing if you want to become an engineer. If you are under 19 and looking for work, you should check out your local Careers Center. Some of these have now been rebranded Connexions Centers, and you can find out more about what Connexions have on offer here. These provide resources, books, leaflets, videos and Internet access, and can help you to find out about:

- training opportunities

- University and college courses

- working in Europe

- voluntary work

- apprenticeships and traineeships

- how to develop your career or change it altogether

If you’re not familiar with how recruitment agencies work, here are a few pointers:

- Recruitment agencies find staff of behalf of an employer.

- Agencies usually have different specialists and strengths. Some will concentrate on your locality; others have vacancies nationwide or overseas. Some may specialize in industrial work; others may concentrate on office work or nursing.

- Finding the right agency means that you can target jobs in a particular occupation or location.

- Agencies can charge employers a fee for their services, but in the UK it’s illegal to charge the jobseeker.

- You can register with as many agencies as you like. This way you get easy access to more job openings. Some test you when you register, especially for jobs in administration where they might give you a typing or word processing test. If you’re concerned about which agencies offer the best service, or what they should be doing on your behalf contact the Recruitment and Employment Confederation, which sets standards for how agencies operate. You can also check out their website, which has links to member companies in addition to details of agency operational guidelines.
