The simple answer is no!
A recruitment agency is a completely free service to job seekers and it is illegal to charge for this service.
So, why should you take advantage of this free service?
Be the first to know about new vacancies in your area
Did you know not all of our roles make it to the website?! We often fill vacancies by offering them to candidates who are already registered on our system first, before advertising them online.
Join our mailing list
Keep up to date on upcoming open days and inductions as well as company updates, new vacancies, new companies we’re working with and more through our email or text updates (you can also opt out at any time).
You have a back up option
Just been made redundant and need work quick? Started a new job but feel it’s not for you? If you’re in a situation where you need work asap, already being registered with an agency means all of your right to work checks have been completed and they can place you into work straight away.
Improve your interview skills
Consultants at agencies can give you constructive feedback if you have been unsuccessful with a company you have been interviewed at, to help you improve next time you are sent for an interview.
Broadens your job opportunities
Some companies only hire through agencies, rather than recruiting in-house. By using an agency this gives you the option to be able to work for more local companies within your area.
You have the option to try something new
Curious about trying a new role or working within a different sector? Temporary placements are a great way to try different jobs and shift patterns to understand what suits you best, so when you’re searching for that long term role, you know exactly what you’re looking for!
Expand your skillset and experience
By signing up to an agency you can be placed into various temporary roles to help you gain work experience, new skills and build up your CV. We have many roles requiring no previous experience and trainee roles available.
We can spec you in to local companies
Did you know even if an agency isn’t recruiting for the exact position you’re looking for they can spec you in to companies? Agencies work closely with their clients and may see an opportunity where one of their contacts would be interested in hiring someone with your specific expertise and skills.
You can 'try before you buy'
Our temp to perm contracts enable you to settle into the company, get to know your colleagues and see if you and the employer are suited to one another before accepting a permanent contract and committing long term to the role.
