So our staff can enjoy this week with their families, we are reposting our Job Search Series from a few months ago.
As we've mentioned a few times before, not all available jobs are listed or viewable to the public's eye. A lot of times an employer will only announce a job internally or on their website. Sometimes they'll list it with a hiring agency.
They may want all of the hiring to be done by an outside agency so that the candidates can be screened or they may just not have the time to perform the hiring process. The only way to be a candidate for these jobs is to sign up with a recruiting agency.
You can google your profession and add "recruiting agency" or "head hunters" to find a recruiter that specializes in your field of work. Depending on the agency, they may also be able to place you in a temporary or contract position until you find full time work.
Do your research and make sure it's a reputable agency. They shouldn't charge you any money to apply and have an interview with them. The potential employer will pay all of the hiring fees.
Also make sure that you treat them as you would a potential employer. Always act professionally and dress appropriately if you do get invited to meet them for an interview.
Using a recruiter to help you find a job should be one of many methods you need to use in your job search. The more methods you enlist, the better your chances of finding work.
Has working with a recruiter helped you to find a job? Let us know by sharing your story in the comments below.
