How to Use a Recruitment Agency

If you are looking for Graduate positions, you need look no further than Matchtech. We can help you to find your ideal role whether you are looking for a temporary or permanent position.

The question our Graduate Team gets asked most is how do Recruitment Agencies work, and how do I use one? Here are some of the answers:

For most temporary roles you will need to be registered with a good recruitment agency. Companies often use recruitment agencies for hiring contractors or temporary staff as it reduces their costs and risks. Recruitment companies such as Matchtech deal with temporary positions all the time, with durations lasting from a few weeks to 12 months or even longer.

If you are looking for permanent work and a long term career, recruitment agencies have access to many roles that you would not normally see advertised. Many permanent roles are difficult to recruit for, and often companies ask experienced recruitment agencies to deal with these rather than place an advert.

Help Yourself

To get the best from a recruitment agency you should:

  • Get the correct consultants name and contact details
  • Provide your Consultant with a good quality CV
  • Provide your Consultant with your full contact details including email address and mobile number
  • Keep In Touch with us
  • Make your self stand out and be enthusiastic
  • Be completely honest with your requirements

Matchtech is one of the UK's largest Technical Recruitment Agencies and by registering with us you have access to thousands of companies and jobs that would be unavailable to you otherwise.
