Once you’ve decided to make a career change, finding a new job at a company you love can feel like a tall order. One way to speed up your career search process is by working with a staffing agency. In fact, a good agency can make your search more worthwhile in several ways.
Read on to learn the top benefits of working with a staffing agency to find a job, along with productive ways you can contribute to your own job search to find a career and company you’re proud to be part of.
Top Benefits of Working With a Recruiter
- Recruiters Have Connections
When you work with a staffing agency, you’re not just getting a partner in your job search; you’re also gaining access to their book of business and visibility to career opportunities that may never have otherwise come across your radar.Staffing agencies have made a service out of matching candidates and employers with their ideal roles and candidates. As a job seeker, one significant benefit to working with a staffing agency is gaining access to a network of job opportunities that may not otherwise be available to you.Because these positions are sometimes not advertised to the public by the end client, it also means you won’t be competing with tens of hundreds (or even thousands) of other applicants. Instead, you’ll be applying to a company actively searching for employees through your staffing agency who have spent weeks, months, or even years building a rapport with the employer and knows exactly the type of candidate they want working for their company. - Recruiters Hold Valuable Company Information
Since recruiters work directly with employers, they have the inside scoop on things such as salary ranges and company culture, whether the company offers competitive medical plans, flexible work/life schedules, philanthropic and volunteer opportunities, travel or work from home opportunities, and more. This insight is helpful when searching for a career in a company that will best support your growth goals and ultimately match you to the companies that can meet the most critical criteria on your list.As long as you share the details of what your dream company or career looks like and what benefits you’re willing (or unwilling) to negotiate, your recruiter will have the necessary information required to match you to the best career and company. - Recruiters Will Set You Up For Success
Your recruiter has a shared interest in your success. They want you to win and ensure you have the tools to do so. Aside from performing the job search and using their exclusive list of staffing service clients to find you potential job opportunities, recruiters can also help you by:- Presenting job opportunity options regularly.
– Setting salary expectations.
– Editing your resume.
– Preparing you for interviews by offering advice on ways to present yourself to help be found by recruiters.CRG’s Tools for Success
