How Do I Find a Recruiter or Agency? • Ask – dig into your friend network and ask who they use or have used! • Do an internet search for agencies in your area. Review the websites and see what type of positions they recruit for. • Networking – job fairs, trade shows, chamber events, etc. • Look at job posting and see who’s posting them.
What Type of Recruiters/Agencies Are There? • Staffing Agency – majority of position will be temp or temp to hire. Direct/permanent positions may also be available. • Contingency Recruiting Agency - does an employee search on a contingency basis for a company. The recruiter is paid upon a successful hire/placement. The recruiter is responsible to do the initial recruiting, screening and interviewing. • A Retained Agency - similar to a contingency recruiting agency. Main difference is the client company pays a retainer fee to have that company perform a search. A portion of the overall search fee is paid upfront and the remainder is due upon a successful hire. The initial retainer fee is paid whether or not a placement/hire is made. Mainly used for higher level positions.
What Type of Recruiters/Agencies Are There? • Outplacement Agency - provides job hunting assistance to jobseekers, typically downsized/displaced individuals. Many times the employer will hire an outplacement company to help their recently downsized workforce find jobs. • Specializations – HR, Accounting/Finance, Legal, IT, Healthcare, Office/Clerical, Call Center, Assembly, Production, Light Industrial.
What Type of Positions Do Agencies Place? • Temporary/Contract – an assignment will only last for a specified time period. On occasion, the assignment may be extended but never expect anything more. • Temp to Hire – after a certain period of time the position will be become permanent if the client agrees it is a fit. • Direct/Permanent Placement – Once you are placed in a position you are an employee of the hiring company from day one.
