General Recruitment Agencies

A large proportion of recruitment agencies take a general approach to the job market by advertising vacancies in a large number of different industries.

Below is a summary of some of the most common types of permanent and temporary jobs offered by many general recruitment agencies in the UK;

Admin vacancies can range from short-term temporary contracts to full time admin manager positions and are always highly sought after.

Secretarial positions advertised by recruitment agencies are often for maternity or holiday cover as well as legal secretary positions which are more specialised.

Office roles such as filing and data entry are popular with students in the summer holidays to get some extra money as well as experience to put on their C.V. for when they graduate.

Engineering - in many geographical areas, engineering is a big market for the local recruitment agencies and can cover a wide scope from electrical engineering to civil engineering vacancies.

Factory employment is often seasonal and at peak times such as Easter & Christmas, your local general recruitment agency may have a number of temporary positions that they need filled.

HGV Drivers need a special driving license and are often required for both short-term and ongoing contracts, particularly in areas with large numbers of manufacturing companies.

Sales - the sales industry in general is known to have high staff turnover rates so most recruitment agencies will have a number of sales vacancies to fill at any given time.

Marketing jobs are one of the most competitive areas for a recruitment agency to deal with and each vacancy will usually attract a high number of applicants which then has to be narrowed down.

Accountancy vacancies tend to require suitable professional qualifications unless they're at a very junior level and this is one of the first things a recruitment consultant will look for on your C.V.

I.T - HR Staff - positions in I.T. and H.R. are also highly specialised and usually require relevant qualifications or a significant amount of experience in order to be considered.

Whatever job you're looking for, search online now to find a general recruitment agency near you.

Consumer tip: It can be tempting to apply for every vacancy that comes up. This is not the best use of your time or theirs so it pays to only apply for positions you’re qualified for; otherwise the agency may not take you seriously.
