[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 110190, member: 2672"] Basically, recruitment agencies create a much shorter candidate list for firms to review - makes it much more manageable for firms than dealing with 100s of applicants. The agencies get paid a percentage of your starting salary by the firm (usually 15-20%), Many firms now have their own recruitment teams and hires these people directly rather than via agencies. It really depends on the nature of the role though - for temp and short-term contracts, they tend to go out to agencies, less so for permanent roles unless they are difficult to fill. You can search for recruitment agencies here: [URL='https://www.rec.uk.com/jobseekers/member-directory?&q=§or=All%20sectors&placementType=all&sortBy=A%20-%20Z&auditedOnly=false&page=1']REC member directory :: The REC[/URL] - this will give you an indication of recognised agencies (although won't be a comprehensive list). Look at their website to see if they are a member of any recruitment standards if they aren't on this list. [/QUOTE]
