Finding Employment do Agencies Find Prospects better Jobs – Yes
Often this depends on the job market of the region. However, it is important for agencies to help prospects find the best jobs possible, because that is how they make money. It is a business transaction to them and they would like to get as much money out of you as possible.
Temp Agencies vs Hiring Agencies.A temp agency is helping you find temp work. Sometimes that work turns into full time work. However, the temp agency benefits from you working the job as a temporary hire for as long as possible. These agencies don't help you find a better job. They want to hold you in their employ for as long as possible and would prefer you stay under their employment verses finding a stable job that pays better.
On the other hand is the hiring agency. They work hard to help you find a job. They do it because they are paid a commission on your position. This commission is usually a percentage and is based on your annual income. It is therefore important for them to find you the best job that they can so that they are making as much money off of you as possible.
It's All Math.For the hiring scout or hiring agency it is all a mathmatical equation. They are taking the prospects and working to get the most money out of them as possible. They want you to make a lot of money so they get a good cut, but they also want the company to like who you are and the work that you preform so that they want to keep you. They usually make more money if you stay for an extended period, so they also want you to enjoy your job so that you stick around. This means they are taking your education, your work experience, your goals, your desires, and your skills and matching you with the company that they think will pay you the most money, meet your needs, and that you will fill their vacancy well.
This mathematically driven matching is what is best for you as well as for the company who will make money from your employment situation. After all, they have tried to seek out a job that will be good for you income wise, but also based on other aspects of your needs and desires. They actually searched for a better job for you, whatever that may be.
Job Hunting.Job hunting is never easy and often takes a lot of time. Some agencies will only except you if they feel that you will be worth enough the company. Others may require an upfront fee. Even with an agency, job hunting could take some time. You then have to decide if you want to do all the work yourself, or get help.
While hiring agencies often find better jobs, and make sure they are suited for you, it is often a difficult question as to whether job agencies are indeed for you. If you think they might be, make an appointment with a hiring agent and see how the appointment goes. Make sure you ask any questions that you might have and get answers you feel comfortable with before deciding to go with them.
