Finding one’s dream job could take up considerable time and resources, especially when candidates are not experienced and decide to fill and send out application forms by themselves. It is highly possible that the resumes are rejected during the earliest round of reviews, when the employer is flooded with hundreds of CVs, or that they miss to mention an important detail about their skills or talents, which would have given them an advantage over the other competitors.
More
opportunities for a shorter time, and all that completely free of
charge: this is the service that Recruitment Agencies - or the so
called labour brokers – offer to their clients. It is quite common
that the best, most prestigious, and/or highly paid job openings are
announced exclusively through such agencies. The reason for that is
because the employers do not have the time, and sometimes the
resources, to do the initial screening process, to meet with hundreds
of applicants, to hold numerous interviews, and to sift the
high-quality candidates from the unsuitable ones. That’s why
employers prefer to hire a specialized agency to perform the
end-to-end recruitment process in their stead, including fully
understanding the requirements and needs of the position and
referring only the most suitable candidates who fit the relevant job
description.
When
using a Recruitment Agency services, job seekers go through an
initial screening process performed by HR professionals, who can
determine to what extent the applicants could meet the employer’s
specific requirements and are then sent to an actual interview. It is
important to note that the final decision who should be hired lies
with the employer and not with the recruiters of agency.
Regardless
of whether the candidate is a young person without experience or a
highly-qualified specialist, a laid-off, a permanently unemployed, or
an employed individual, who would like to explore new career
opportunities – everyone has potential, knowledge, and skills that
could fit a specific employer’s needs.
Thanks
to its high professionalism and experience in the recruitment sphere,
the intermediary agency will offer a job hunter the opportunities
most fitting to their skillset, will carry out an initial interview,
which – depending on the position for which the person applies -
may also include technical or language skills tests, and finally will
offer their application to the employer.
For those looking for jobs in the country, as well as abroad, the service is completely free. The only legal requirement is that the person looking for a job entrusts the Recruitment Agency with the task to find them suitable employment by signing an Intermediary contract between the job seeker and the recruitment agency. Contracts are not exclusive and do not limit candidates from pursuing other opportunities. They commonly contain some information about the intermediary as well as the candidate, rights and obligations of both sides, contract duration, etc.
The recruiter interviews the candidate for a new position and enters their names in a data base. When a suitable opportunity is found, they refer the potential contender to the employer.
