No replies to your CV or rejections?
"The average time spent reading a CV is just 6 seconds" - Forbes.Why do you need a trusted recommendation from a job agency?
To avoid your application being marked as spam
Employers often get flooded with advertising spam and fake profiles. Unfortunately, this drowns out genuine candidates.
Having a trusted recommendation from an agency will ensure your application is prioritized for a decision and also prevent it being marked as spam.
To verify your experience and get recommended for the right job
Due to the large number of applications, most employers do not have the resources to verify every single CV they receive.
It is more efficient for employers to use a job agency to handle this process. The role of the job agency is to speak to each candidate, get to know their skills, experience and qualifications before making a recommendation.
Why your CV matters
Your CV is your most important career tool.
Decisions to interview or reject may be made solely on this document and you are rarely offered a second chance at first impressions.
On average, a job post receives around 130 applications.
A professionally presented CV customised to the employer and job role will stand out, make good first impression and help you get past the first stage of screening.
