Research Recruitment Agencies!

When approaching a recruitment agency, it is important you do your research for a number of reasons. My top five are 👇

✅ Specialisation Matters – Some agencies focus on specific sectors (e.g healthcare, education, finance). Research ensures alignment with your skills and aspirations.
✅ Quality vs. Quantity – A good agency works to place you in the right role, not just any role. Take time to understand their motivations.
✅ Check reviews, testimonials and success stories to help gauge credibility.
✅ Take time to understand their hiring process to ensure you are happy to proceed.
✅ Reputable agencies don’t charge candidates for job placement - research protects you from fraud.

Researching an agency prior to contact may take a little more time, but it is essential and will benefit you in the long run.
