Jill's Corner...

I registered with an agency ages ago and they haven’t found me a job yet. I thought agencies were supposed to help me find work.

Unlike the JobCentre which is funded by the government, a recruitment agency is paid by employers to assist them source and select suitable candidates for their vacancies. Because of this, the agency’s job is essentially to help employers find the most suitable candidates for their company and as a result of this, agencies help candidates find positions that match their requirements. Whilst we endeavour to help as many candidates as possible as quickly as possible, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to find all candidates suitable work or specify a timeframe in which a suitable position will become available. At Michael Boyd & Partners, we do always endeavour to help candidates and will at the very least provide you with an honest service.
