Tips for Dealing with Recruitment Agencies
When working with HRS (or any recruitment agency) it is important to maximise your consultant’s expertise and build a healthy working relationship. To do this we recommend that you:
Treat the recruitment agency as if they are a potential employer. This will ensure that the recruitment consultant sees you as being professional and a great representation of their agency. It will also give you good practice when in front of the client.
Ensure you have your consultant’s full contact details and these are saved both on your mobile and online address books.
Provide full contact details including your home address, landline and mobile number, email address and any frequently used social media links.
Provide an up to date CV which includes achievements and information to help you stand out.
When making an application be pro–active. Once you have submitted your CV follow up on it with a call to the consultant handling the requirement.
Maintain regular contact with your consultant and keep them up to date with your requirements (i.e. availability, salary expectations, location searches etc). Responding quickly lets them know that you’re reliable, helps you stand out, and puts you at the front of the queue regarding any new exciting job opportunities.
Blow your own trumpet! Don’t be too shy to let your consultant know exactly what makes you the best person for the job, do everything you can to stand out from the crowd and make yourself memorable.
