What is the difference between recruitment agencies and employment agencies

For those who first encounters with search ads work, "calculate" recruitment agencies will not be difficult. And in advertising modules, and inline ads often appears the term "recruitment", and this is their main difference from the employment agencies.

The main criterion by which to assess the choice of a mediator in the labor market - this is your competitiveness in the market. Jobs that offer recruiters are always concrete. These firms operate "under the customer", ie, the employer. Services recruiters are companies who are looking for middle and senior managers (this pervasive practice), so less skilled (people working professions, drivers, secretaries, etc.) Is better to choose other ways to find work.

To interact with recruitment agencies there are two ways. The first - when you send your resume to the agency, not focusing on any particular, published in newspaper job, and, so to speak, preemptively. And the second way - when you select a job and send your CV already "targeted." Probably the most effective use and he and the other way.

There is a certain set of qualities, the carrier which receives an advantage over other candidates. It can be said in another way - if you do not have even half of that set, your chances of finding a job through a recruitment agency approach zero.

What is this quality?

 age - 35 years;

 formation - the higher, + additional profile (courses, high schools, etc...);

 work experience - at least two years, and the profile and reputable organizations;

 registration required;

 possession of a PC and (highly desirable) foreign language;

 presentable appearance, and so on. d.

Naturally, plus to all this, you must have exactly the set of professional knowledge and skills that are needed professional employer. Of course, in the recruitment agency you are expected not only well-written resume, but appropriate behavior at the interview (before the "invite" you to the employer, you will talk to agency staff, and often more than once).

What is the reason for such strict requirements for candidates? The main reason is that recruiters are living at the expense of employers. With firms and companies is a contract for recruitment, and employers pay a lot of money for them to have to work real professionals. Therefore, respectability and material stability Recruitment depends largely on the proper selection of candidates for a particular position. We also advise you not to be sprayed, sending out resumes for all recruitment agencies that you are caught in the eye, and to study the specialization of recruiters that will make your search for a new job and a specific point.

Employment Agencies

Experience shows that the top professionals usually have nothing to look at the employment agencies. Their activity is designed for representatives of more mass specialties and supervisors. In general, through the hands of employment agencies held a much larger number of candidates than through recruitment agencies. And there is a simple explanation. Employment agencies offer services that are paid for the applicants, therefore, there are candidates for the accounts. Usually the applicant is a contract in which he pays an initial fee (for resume writing, introduction to database consultation and so on. D.), And gives 25-50% from the first earnings at the new location. If you want to take more, it is worth the alert - most likely, you simply misleading, and the agency is not so solid, how wants to appear.

Admission to Employment Agency requirements are not as stringent as in recruiting. Here, above all, a customer who pays for the service, and the problem of employees does not include agency "remake" you the ideal candidate. You come with a certain set of qualities and skills of luggage, and a recruiter task - to pick up a job "beneath you" and not vice versa.

Selection of an employment agency - it is responsible. Need to go to those organizations that are already quite a long time on the market, publish real vacancies in specialized media, are constantly updating their database. During the visit, the agency must pay attention to the number of applicants, particularly in the work of employees, the number of telephone lines at how professionally communicate with specialists of the agency you. Be sure to thoroughly study the contract that you have to write. Here are some points that are worth considering: open-ended contract, unlimited, refund you spent offered jobs in the event of your netrudoustroystva for some time. If all these factors taken into account in the contract, then, recruitment agency you can trust. But, ultimately, employment guarantee you no one can not - nor those of any other recruitment agencies. Your success depends primarily on you.
