One of the main advantages is that it's a good way to cast your job searching net out wide. Recruiters often have a number of similar positions on the go with different clients, so if you're unsuccessful with one position, you can be put forward for many other vacancies at the same time, increasing the likelihood of you landing your dream job faster and with a lot less effort.
Does Matchtech take a cut of my pay if I use them to find my next job?
Absolutely not! We charge the end client for our services, not the candidate. So you can rest assured that there is no difference to your pay when being placed into a new role by Matchtech.
