Why Having The Right Rec2Rec Agency On Your Side Is Vital In The Current UK Job Market
We are currently living in what can at best be called “interesting times” when it comes to employment in the UK. If you’re someone who works in the recruitment industry, you’ll know this only too well. While a general decrease in hiring across the majority of sectors has happened over the past few years; things are changing and for the better.
Being involved, as we are with recruitment, we are cheered by the fact that many of our friends in the industry are being given more roles to fill which means we have to find more recruiters to fill them J
This means that good recruiters are in high demand and to stand out and get the roles you want, you may have to compete that little bit harder. That is where the help of a good rec to rec agency comes in. A good rec2rec (recruitment to recruitment) agency can make a huge difference. To your chance of success.
What does a recruitment to recruitment agency do?
A recruitment to recruitment agency is essentially the same as any other recruitment agency. It wants to find the right people for its clients’ roles, and helps its candidates find jobs that suit them. What makes a recruitment to recruitment company special is that they deal in recruitment jobs, so both their candidates and clients are in the recruitment industry themselves. This means that they understand the way their clients operate extremely well, and also, as recruiters themselves, know what their candidates’ major concerns will be.
What are the benefits of working with this kind of agency?
You may think that as a recruiter, you know enough about the job seeking world to find that perfect new role by yourself. However, just as you add value to your candidates in the sector you specialise in, a recruitment to recruitment company can add significant value to you. They will be exceptionally well connected, meaning they will be aware of roles that haven’t even been advertised yet and will have their finger on the pulse when it comes to what is going on with all of their clients. This means they can give you many useful insights that can help you get the job, or can even allow you to work out if a job isn’t right for you before you accept it. This can be especially useful if you were with your last employer for a long time and don’t have a lot of connections outside of your current recruitment sector.
Get connected
Whether you are looking for a new role right now or not, it pays to be connected with the best recruitment to recruitment companies in your area. Being on their radar can mean you are the first to know when the perfect opportunity becomes available and can also speed up the job hunting process dramatically if you are already looking for that next role.
