Access to More Job Vacancies

Working with a recruiter gives you access to many more job opportunities than you’d come across on your own. As a job seeker, if you want to stay on top of all the current positions out there, you must keep your eyes peeled across printed media, job boards, career pages and social media. If that sounds like a job on its own, that’s because it is, it’s called being a recruiter.

Recruitment agencies consistently work with countless organizations and know about hundreds of job openings at once. On top of this, recruiters are usually the first to hear about new roles and will reach out when one ticks all the boxes you’ve identified that are of interest to you, meaning that you don’t have to fret that you’re missing out on interesting opportunities that match your career goals.

Negotiation Support

Your recruiter understands your salary expectations, skill level and experience, and what you are expecting from a job offer. They are also aware of the salary range and benefits their clients are willing to provide for the role in question. With this information, your recruiter can aid in negotiation discussions to try and find a happy middle ground that meets the needs of both parties.

Confidentiality & Data Protection

The recruiters here at Nova are GDPR and DPA compliant, meaning we have a duty of care to the job seeker and the employer. To be compliant means we will never share your information without your consent, so you can feel confident that you will only be represented to our clients should you expressly agree to be.

It's Free!

Using a recruiter as a job seeker is entirely free of charge. Our team will never charge you as a candidate for putting you forward to our clients for positions. A recruitment company's revenue comes from a ‘placement fee’, which is paid by the employer when an employment offer is accepted by a candidate - hence why the recruiter wants to find that perfect match!

Receive Useful Feedback

As your recruiter has trusted relationships with their clients, they can often get more candid feedback throughout the recruitment process. Where possible, your recruiter will speak to hiring teams and provide feedback and insights on where improvements could be made should there be another round of interviews. You benefit from their experience and knowledge throughout the entire process.

There really isn’t a downside to working with a recruiter as a job seeker. With a completely free service that gives you access to more positions of interest, useful feedback, and quality network connections, there’s no reason not to give it a go and register with a recruiter.
