5 Benefits of Working With a Recruiting Agency

If you’re trying to find your next job, working with a recruiting agency or staffing company might just be the missing piece to help you find, and land, your next role. But what is it really like to work with a recruiting partner?

Outlined below are five key benefits of working with a recruiting agency and how they can help match you with job opportunities, no matter what stage of the process you’re in.

Listen to Aston Carter Fulfillment Executive Christel Mendez break down what it’s like to work with a staffing company.

1. Understanding Your Career Aspirations

The first time you are contacted may be because your resume matches a job assignment, but the partnership is more than that initial call. Staffing and recruiting agencies want to learn about your long-term professional — and personal — goals to support you throughout your career journey.

2. Working with a Professional Recruiter

The advantage of working with a dedicated recruiter is that they will take the time to get to know you on a deeper level, which helps them identify the best-matched job opportunities for you. Think of them as a career advocate, helping to refine your resume and working for you to find a job that aligns to your skills, goals and interests.

3. Verifying Candidate References and Screening

Trusted recruiting or staffing partners prioritize checking professional references and validating skills. It’s because of this due diligence, when a recruiter sends your resume to a potential employer, they are confident that you’re a strong candidate with the right skills and abilities to be a good fit for the employer’s team.

4. Preparing You for the Interview Process

Even the most assured candidates can make a better impression when they have insight into the people interviewing them and the interview format, whether it be in person or virtual. Professional recruiters can provide employer insight and coaching to help prepare you for your next interview and make a great impression with the hiring managers you meet.

5. Providing Career Guidance

Success isn’t just defined by landing your next role, but by growing in it. Recruiters are committed to seeking and delivering feedback from your employer and thinking ahead to your next job opportunity. Developing your skills throughout your career journey not only helps you grow professionally but can help set you up for your next role, and possible opportunities for advancement or promotions.
