But why would I use a recruiter instead of finding a job myself?

Picture this: handing over the burden of locating your dream job to an industry expert who places people in their dream career on the daily.

The perks of using a recruiter is that you’ll have someone by your side throughout your entire job journey. You will get the first look at unadvertised roles and we always have hundreds of jobs available, so if you don’t land the first one, we’ll put you forward for another. On average, 85% of candidates get placed in jobs that they didn’t apply to initially!

We’re talking about saving you time and a few headaches – a stress-free solution.

How long is the whole recruitment process?

We can confidently say it’s quicker than searching and applying for jobs yourself!

Our recruiters will interview you to find out about your skills, experience and what you’re looking for. Then they will do the job search for you, proactively pitch you to clients, and provide you a shortlist of job matches. They’ll work on your CV, apply for jobs on your behalf and then prep you for any interviews you land. Think of all the time you could save!

After your interview, our consultants do their best to get back to every candidate at least 1-5 business days. This is influenced by factors such as receiving client feedback or waiting for the interview process to end (with other candidates). While the overall process varies based on specifics, rest assured that keeping you informed throughout remains a top priority.
