Job search is a difficult period for every person. Most people try to use their old connections and acquaintances for new employment, and many have to resort to the services of recruiting agencies. However, not every agency is able to really find a place of work that suits you.
Necessary
- - an agreement with a recruiting agent on intermediary services in finding a job;
- - summary.
Instructions
Step 1
There are several types of recruiting agencies: some take money to find a job for a certain period; others are looking for work to the "bitter end", and then they take a certain percentage of their first salary. If you have to choose between these two forms of cooperation, give preference to the second - so you can be sure that the company will be personally interested in a quick job search, and you will pay money for the actually rendered service and the result obtained.
Step 2
As a rule, a recruiting agency offers many vacancies in different directions. To avoid this, in the contract immediately specify the specialty in which you need to look for work. Pay attention also to the period of work of the recruiting agency in the market. Now there are many one-day firms that take money to find a job, and then disappear in an unknown direction.
Step 3
In the recruitment market, there are also firms whose services are paid by employers themselves. Such recruiting agencies are also called recruiting or headhunters. Recruiting companies mainly specialize in the selection of highly qualified specialists: accountants, managers, engineers, doctors, etc. It is preferable to work with such agencies, since they do not take money from applicants. Such organizations are especially common on the Internet.
Step 4
When contacting a recruiting agency, like any other, ask first about its work experience, success in finding personnel, companies with which it cooperates.
Step 5
There are often recruiting agencies that charge fees from both the company and the job seeker. In business, this is not encouraged, and enterprises that find out that a double payment was taken for services no longer apply to such agencies. Try to bypass such organizations.
Step 6
When contacting a recruiting agency, prepare your resume. It can be written in advance or drafted together with the HR manager. Sometimes they can help you write a resume for free, sometimes for an additional fee. In general, writing a resume is not difficult, and if anything, there are many samples on the Internet now. So you can just enter your data into a ready-made template and feel free to go to your reseller.
