What exactly online recruitment agencies do ? by Ispas Marin

Any online recruitment agency can help you to submit for
vacancies to the agency by employers.

Online recruitment agencies are used by employers for many
purposes. Get help with the recruitment process, conceal
recruitment activities from competitors, recruit for a new type
of post for which they have no expertise.

Anytime you register with an online recruitment agency keep in
mind that the primary client for them is the employer, not you.

Also, always check the security of the site, as you will be
submitting personal information.

Staffing and contract agencies compile a number of candidates
with some exact qualifications and then supply staff to an

organization for a contract. These agencies will pay you for the
actual work hours and not for holidays or sick pay. These
agencies are usually used to find staff to cover sickness and
holidays or to avoid having unnecessary staff.

What exactly are the advantages of using online recruitment
agencies?

The recruitment agency can be working on your behalf if you're
working full-time. You can set up work before you're arrival in
a new town. You can work through staffing and contracts agencies
to gain varied short-term experience with several employers.

Here are some general rules for using recruitment agencies:

Supply the agencies with a CV that is targeted towards a
particular work sector Keep chasing the agency for progress.
Tell the agency about any important factors.

Using this type of agencies is a good thing and will probably
help you but don't rely on agencies as your only means of
finding a job.
