Employment Companies Are Necessary In The Current Employment Market

By John Thomas


There are plenty of employment opportunities out there. The trick is in finding a way to make yourself be seen and heard by desirable employers. You can submit countless resumes and cover letters with zero results. In order to be effective in the job market of today, you need an agent. Depending upon your level of experience, there are different types of employment companies that can help you achieve your desired goal.

Employment agencies, which are sometimes called staffing agencies, are a good place to start for job hunters seeking entry level or mid level positions. Employers with a large number of employees are constantly in the process of trying to fill vacant positions. Many of the larger companies use staffing agencies exclusively to fill vacancies. The agencies take on work that would have to be done by their staff in human resources

To apply at an employment agency, you will need to provide two valid forms of identification deemed acceptable by the Department of Immigration. The agency will ask you to sign an authorization for a background check. There will be multiple forms for you to complete and sign before you can register with the agency. This is a tremendous amount of paper work that would tie up the human resources department and keep them for other important work. Employers appreciate that applicants referred to them by an agency have been well vetted.

If you are looking for employment at the executive or managerial levels, a headhunter or recruitment agency will be a better match for your skills and experience. Employers that work with a recruitment agency are very serious about locating only quality applicants. Upon hiring, the employer agrees to pay the agency up to thirty percent of the annual salary that the new employee will be paid. This could easily cost the employer thirty to fifty thousand dollars.

Getting signed with a recruitment agency is similar to job hunting. The agency will interview and scrutinize your background and references before agreeing to take you on as their client. Once you have signed with a headhunter be prepared to interview for positions where the competition is significant.

There are headhunters who choose to devote their agency to a niche type of professional employee. These agencies look for clients who are well educated and experienced. Doctors, attorneys and certified public accountants are some of the professionals that fit into this niche type of agency.

Most people are familiar with the concept that movie stars only get cast in movies if they are represented by well known agents. Recruitment agencies follow the same concept. Hollywood agents only take on clients when the agents are fairly sure they can get the client cast in a movie or television show. As a prospective client of a recruitment agency, you must impress them enough that they want to represent you. With a respected headhunter, you are probably on the track to finding the position you want.

Global staffing agencies are another option. These agencies represent all skill levels, from entry to executive. Fortune 100 companies use them regularly. With global services they represent unique employment opportunities. People who are looking to relocate to another state or another country should register with this type of employment agency.

The global staffing agencies are highly motivated and have taken the art of finding a job to a new level. One of the websites boast that they put new employees to work every thirty three seconds. The agency says it makes over five hundred thousand employee, employer connections every year. Often these connections are for temporary positions. In this litigious age, temporary may be a euphemism for getting to know each other before a permanent commitment is made.

You should not be afraid to take a temporary position. In most cases, if the employee performs well he or she will be hired on a permanent basis. Temporary can even be considered an advantage if you want to try something or some place new. If you are not happy with the job adventure, you are free to leave without any negative repercussions.

There is every reason to be optimistic about your chances of finding that ideal job. With the right agent you are sure to achieve your goals. New employment means new beginnings. Growth in your professional life is always a good thing.
