Using a recruitment agency is one of the easiest ways to get yourself a new job. The right agency will be invaluable, helping you to find suitable positions and contacting companies on your behalf to save you sending in cold applications. You will need to make a good impression on the agency you choose so that they feel confident recommending you to their clients.

When you first contact a recruitment agency, see if you are able to meet them in person. This will give them a chance to really get to know you and what you are looking for. It will make you look keen, and it will also make you more memorable so that you are likely to spring to mind when your recruitment consultant gets an exciting new job opportunity.

Be persistent without nagging your consultant. They want to know that you are interested but they are very busy people. If you don’t hear from them for a while, you could give them a call to catch up.
