How important is it to keep in touch with your key consultant?

A large majority of candidate's expectations are such that they think the recruitment agency is there to serve them, no matter who they are and what their skill set or background is and that every recruiter has every job in town. Well none of this is true. Recruiters exist to search out the cream of the crop, the best and brightest of candidates, as that is what their clients are paying them for. The truth is that many apply but few are chosen. The more you stay in touch, the better relationship we build together ensuring you are in the forefront when a suitable opportunity arises.

Given that agencies see so many job seekers, one of the most important things to do in the weeks after your interview is to stay in touch. Phone us regularly to touch base and to let us know you are still enthusiastic and available for work.

Job hunting is depressing work and it’s easy to get discouraged. The secret is to hang in there, to keep trying, to not give up. If you’ve done your preparation properly, constructed a great CV and honed your interview technique, the odds are that you’ll land a job eventually. And remember, there’s no law against registering with more than one employment agency.

Since we do not know when a client will call with an opening for someone with your skill set, we cannot guarantee how long it will take before a job is available. As long as your file is active, we will call you with positions that match your employment criteria and skills sets. It is your responsibility as a job seeker to stay in touch and review our job board regularly. First preference will be given to those who actively communicate with us. It’s a buyer’s market at the moment and you’re competing against an army of skilled candidates, all of them ready and willing to snatch that job opportunity away from you. You need to stand out.
