Recruitment Agencies / Employment Businesses work by connecting candidates with potential employers and end hirers. They do this through a number of different ways including; advertising, head hunting, marketing and via their own in-house databases.

When an End Hirer approaches a Recruitment Agency / Employment Business with a vacancy, there will be an initial database search for potentially suitable candidates. If the search cannot find any matches, then the Recruitment Agency / Employment Business will consider advertising the position across a variety of platforms in order to attract applicants.

The Recruitment Agency / Employment Business will then screen all of the applications and shortlist the most promising candidates. These candidates will then be invited to register with the Recruitment Agency / Employment Business where all relevant documentation is obtained and consent to act on their behalf is provided. These candidates will then be invited to attend an interview with the End Hirer and the successful candidate will be offered the job / assignment.

Recruitment Agencies / Employment Businesses can save End Hirer Businesses a lot of time, effort and expense in shortlisting and finding suitable candidates for vacancies they have. They can also help candidates and job seekers find work that they might not have otherwise heard of or found out about. Pure Staff supply hundreds of businesses in the UK each year.

If you’re looking for a new job, approaching a Recruitment Agency / Employment Business is a great way to start your search.

It can vary depending on the company, position, and other factors. We have some roles that can start the following day, yet others could take up to 6 weeks or more. This includes the time it takes for the agency to review your application, conduct an initial screening interview, submit your candidacy to the End Hirer, schedule and complete a second-round interview (or multiple rounds), and finally extend an offer.

Of course, there are always exceptions and some cases may move more quickly or take longer than average. For example, if you are applying for a highly sought-after position or one that requires specific skills or experience, the process may take longer as the agency tries to find the best match. On the other hand, if you are applying for an entry-level or lower-skilled position, the process may be shorter as there are typically more candidates to choose from.

The best way to ensure a smooth and speedy recruitment process is to be communicative with your Pure Staff recruiter, provide accurate and updated information, and be available for interviews when scheduled. By following these simple tips, you can help make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.

Here are a few tips:

  1. Keep it professional. Your CV should be free of any typos or grammatical errors. It should also be clear and concise, highlighting your most relevant qualifications and experience.
  2. Tailor it to the specific job. If you’re applying to multiple agencies, take the time to tailor your CV to each one. This means specifying why your skills and experience make you a good fit for that particular job.
  3. Highlight your achievements. Be sure to highlight any awards, publications, or other achievements you’ve earned. This will show that you’re not only qualified for the job, but also that you’re a high achiever.
  4. Use keywords. Many agencies use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to screen CVs. By using relevant keywords, you can ensure that your CV makes it through the ATS and into the hands of a real person.
  5. Don’t forget the basics. In addition to tailoring your CV and using keywords, don’t forget the basics of good CV writing. This includes ensuring that your contact information is up-to-date and including a professional photo of yourself.
