Permanent Jobs

Whether you're already in a permanent job or out of work and looking for a permanent role, most recruitment agencies will be able to help.

There are some who just deal with temporary vacancies but the majority will have a combination of both temp and permanent work available.

Seeking a permanent job can be almost like a full time job in itself and it's important to check online job sites and local press as well for permanent jobs because not every company uses recruitment agencies.

Choosing your recruitment agency

Some recruitment agencies have a bad reputation for not calling people back and keeping them informed of the progress of their job applications, so what should you look for in an agency?

  • Are they a member of The Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC)?
  • How long have they been established?
  • Does their website look professional and contain lots of vacancies?
  • Who are their major clients?
  • Do you know anyone who has found work through them?

Making your hunt for a permanent job as focused as possible will often yield better results than a more general approach.

So if you have a bad feeling about an agency or they don't often get jobs in your industry coming through, then try to spend your time contacting those who look like they will provide the best opportunity for you to land the permanent job that you want.

Consumer tip: If you've applied for a permanent job via a recruitment agency, don't be afraid to ring them up to ask for an update on the progress of your application as it shows a keen interest.
