6 Ways a Staffing Agency Can Help You Land a Job Interview

 

The job seeking process can be exhausting, frustrating, and anxiety-ridden. With the assistance of a staffing agency, you can more quickly schedule interviews related to your skill set and land an impressive job that meets your expectations.

Here are six reasons why a staffing agency is better equipped to help you land a quality interview: 

Community Connections

Staffing agencies have strong relationships with local companies who trust their judgment. Indeed, some businesses never share job openings with the public, choosing instead to turn to their partner in hiring. Since these positions can’t be found online, a staffing agency is predisposed to locating opportunities you cannot. 

Marketing Your Talent

Even if a staffing agency doesn’t have an open position that matches your skill set, a good recruiter will keep your resume handy. Many agencies guarantee marketing assistance, sharing your information with interested businesses and calling you when the right position comes up. 

Resume Refinement

Experienced recruiters will help you refine and polish your resume. They will also keep you committed to your job search, even when you feel like giving up. When you choose an agency, you get professional assistance without paying a dime. 

Useful Resources

In addition to one-on-one assistance, you’ll gain access to useful resources like newsletters, pamphlets, and computer programs related to your industry. Depending on the focus of your staffing agency, you could have several chances to improve your skills while waiting for the right interview to come along. 

Interview Coaching

Once you land an interview, your recruiter will often schedule a meeting for interview coaching. In this meeting, you’ll be formally introduced to the company. You’ll also get a strong idea of what to expect during your official interview, especially if your recruiter has a history with the business in question.

Some recruiters, after speaking to former candidates, are able to piece together a point-by-point interview that shockingly resembles the real thing. 

Quality Placement

Have you ever been forced to accept a job offer you didn’t like, simply because there was nothing else on the market? With a staffing agency, you’ll have more opportunities for quality employment. Experienced recruiters always vet their businesses to ensure their employees will be treated with respect and guaranteed proper benefits.

For this reason, you shouldn’t just expect more interviews when you pair with a staffing agency. You should expect better quality from them. Rather than wasting your time, you’ll have options. There aren’t many go-it-alone job seekers that can say the same thing.
