Local Recruitment

For many people, looking for a new job can be a very scary time. In general, people that are nervous with taking their next step in finding a new job are not alone.

This is especially true if you have been working at the same company for many years or if you have been bringing up children and looking to return to work.
No matter what your situation is, finding new work can be daunting even for the most confident people out there.
If you are planning to remain in the same town, ideally you should look for a local recruitment agency. They know the area, the local businesses, salary
expectations and the sectors.

Why use a local recruitment agency to find a job?
Using a good local recruitment agency will not only help put your mind at rest, but will also help you develop the skills needed to succeed in your job search.

One key point to note, whichever recruitment agency you decide to work with make sure you have researched properly as some recruitment agencies are more focused on specific areas such as IT, sales, admin etc.
This ensures that they adhere to the best recruitment practices and are thoroughly vetted and affiliated to the professional body.

 

Below are 4 top benefits of why using a local recruitment company can boost your job-hunting efforts:

1

Local knowledge
This knowledge is a real benefit. Local agencies will be able to pass first-hand knowledge on to you, matching you with the right company in a role that you will thrive and be happy in.

2

They are first in the know
Having long-lasting communications and relationships with many businesses, always first to hear about new job opportunities and vacancies as they arise.
This allows them to help you get an interview even before the job is on the market.

3

A more efficient job search
If you are applying for tens of jobs daily, you may think that you are being super productive and maybe you are, however, here is the reality. If the jobs you are applying for aren’t relevant, you don’t have the experience or they are unrealistic, then you could be wasting your time.
A good local recruitment agency should only put you forward for roles that are right for you. They will have a clear understanding of who you are and what you expect by knowing your ambitions and what sort of working environment you will thrive in.

4

Preparation, support and feedback
It is expected that an agencywill find you the right job, as well as offer you advice and guidance with the application.
Preparation for the interview, helping you understand and improve your skills and following up with you after you start your job is all part of working with a recruitment company.

Finding a new role should be an exciting time for you as it is a new start and a new challenge.
We suggest that you still do your own job research and use your local recruitment agency to give you the maximum chance to find your next perfect role. Good luck!
