The pains of job hunting and why a Recruitment Agency is your best bet
It’s no secret that job hunting is draining and frustrating, however, we all need to go through the process at one point in our career. It’s almost a right of passage. The process will be different depending on the industry, and knowing where to start is a task in itself and the process will often be time-consuming, stressful and perhaps even overwhelming.
There are many resources out there including articles, checklists, templates, and interview preparations that can support you through the process. At IN2 we offer career advice, support with your profile, CV and interview preparation making sure you are fully prepped. and your documents are tailored to the types of roles and companies best suited to your requirements and career goals.
Within the job search process, there are multiple different routes all of which are good options however come with pros and cons. These methods will have varying different levels of success rate and effectiveness.
The different routes include directly on company websites, job boards, LinkedIn, and Career fairs, however, the best route you can take is a recruitment and here is why:
Recruitment Agencies
Agencies can help you combat the challenges we see through the normal job hunt:
Going through a Recruitment Agency will be your best bet and will help you avoid common issues that arise when looking for a job;
Finding Time
Perhaps the biggest pain point, looking for a job is a time-consuming process and can often be draining, overwhelming and stressful. Building your CV, browsing and finding roles, tailoring your cover letters and CV for each role/company, the application process and upon the first stage of success, going through the different interviews and stages will take time. Recruitment agencies will streamline this process for you. By using certain automated process and systems and having a recruitment process in place, we can do the hard for you. We take the time to understand what kind of role you’re looking for, your requirements (e.g. location or salary), and help tailor your CV and market you to our relevant clients, guiding you through interviews and the different stages of the hiring process and keeping updated at every stage of your journey.
Competition in the Market
The Finance market is heavily candidate driven and companies are looking for top talent.
We can support creating the best profile for you, highlighting your relevant skills and what you’ll bring to a company, ensuring there is a match with the type of candidate they’re looking for. Having your profile in our system will also mean that if a new role appears that matches your job search, you’ll be top of mind.
Over the years we’ve been in business, we’ve built long-lasting relationships with our network of clients and hiring managers. This means we always know what sort of candidates they are looking for and know exactly how to market your profile if there is a match and elevating you against the competition.
Lack of Industry Experience
Although a good thing to have, industry experience is not a be-all end-all. We help you to frame the experience you do have and playing and emphasise the transferrable skills you do have that are relevant to the role you’re interested in.
