Should I use an employment agency?

Employment agencies work directly with employers and often have a better idea of exactly what they’re looking for. They may also know of positions that you’d be unlikely to hear about on your own. Agencies can also help you be a better candidate. They want you to get the job—that’s how they get paid.

How many employment agencies should I register with?

Jobs are often placed with several agencies, but many are given to one exclusively and you don’t want to risk missing the right opportunity. The other strategy is to go for quality over quantity and select no more than three or four agencies that specialise in your area of work and locality.

How do you calculate agency charge?
