Frequently asked questions
Why should you trust a specialist technical recruitment agency to find you your next role?
Using a specialist recruitment agency like Matchtech to find your next role is a smart move for a number of reasons. 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.
If I use a recruiter at Matchtech to find my next role, am I going to be bombarded with irrelevant job opportunities?
No not at all, when you register with us or apply for a role on our website, we will add you to our database. But this does not mean you will be bombarded with irrelevant jobs.
