Work in recruitment agencies

There is a huge
recruitment industry in the UK, and recruitment agencies in just
about every imaginable sector. There are common elements to all types
of work in recruitment, but there is a range of options within the
industry in terms of the type of recruitment agency that you can find
yourself working for. This article explains some of the principal
types of agencies, with a description of some of their main features
for you as an employee.

Large
multinational recruitment agencies. Such companies have hundreds,
even thousands, of staff across the globe, and can take advantage of
the economies of scale that large companies enjoy. Often they will
have highly established brands in their markets, so requirements for
business development may be low, and generally speaking a business
development specialist will be employed to manage this. Recruitment
consultants in these firms will usually have quite a narrow role;
resourcers may be involved in initial database searches with
consultants working on the final selection for submission to the
client. The consultant will manage the relationship with the
recruiting manager.

Larger
recruitment agencies will also usually have robust internal training
programmes already set up, from initial training courses to in-role
training. There will also be development opportunities for
recruitment consultants, openings higher up the organisation,
promotion possibilities in other offices or other firms. That said,
there will always be stiff competition from other consultants within
the organisation.
