Job Searching - Recruitment Agencies

Agencies have an important part to play in today's more flexible job market. Because of this, whatever your reservations, you cannot afford to ignore them.

Employers use them because it allows them to try out staff before making a long-term commitment and allows them to take on additional staff to cope with sudden rises in demand or seasonal swings.

You could use them to broaden your experience through short-term contracts. You could also use them to try out different types of employer. Looking at the jobs available via agencies allows you to get a very good idea as to what is happening in the local job market.

Some agencies will specialise in particular sectors others advertise a whole variety of jobs.
