Using Online Recruitment Agencies by Stephen mcbride
If you are looking for a job, you may find that the traditional
routes such as newspapers and agencies have limited
opportunities available. If you are relocating they can be
particularly restrictive as they will only tend to deal with
vacancies in your immediate locality. The best way to widen your
search and the opportunities available is to utilise the
resources available on the Internet.
Every recruitment agency that you see on the High Street will
have an online site. The benefits of these are that they contain
vacancies for the whole country and, in many cases, globally. In
general you register with these sites and indicate your
preferences as to the type of job, location and salary you are
looking for. This prevents you searching through all of the
vacancies listed and narrows the search to more relevant
opportunities for you. In addition to this, in many cases you
can then apply directly to the employer, sending them your CV
and a covering letter, all electronically.
There are also recruitment agencies which have been set up to
tap into the market of online recruitment, and which do not have
offline branches. These can tend to work in a slightly different
way, with the employer looking for the right candidate for the
position they have available. In order for you to be listed as a
potential employee you need to register with them. Part of this
registration will include listing your previous experience, the
type of work you are seeking, your qualifications, the location
you are looking to work in and the salary range you will be
expecting. You can then upload your CV and wait for the
employers to contact you, based on your specifications.
You may also find that representatives of the agency will
contact you in reference to any vacancies they think you are
well suited to and will then put you forward to the employers as
a suitable candidate.
These online agencies always have a large number of vacancies
that they are recruiting for and tend to allow you to apply for
as many vacancies as you wish. Many of them will also send you
email updates if a new job is listed which meets your
requirements.
It is worth regularly updating you CV so that it appears fresh
and new, and tailoring your covering letter to suit the
individual vacancy for which you are applying. If you use these
services wisely, you can find a new job quickly, easily and at a
time which suits you best.
