Throughout your job hunting you should use any and all the available tools to land a good job. One of those tools can be recruitment agencies. Recruitment agencies generally fall into two very different categories. The first being recruitment agencies that normally focus on entry level to middle management job roles and temporary or seasonal jobs. The second type of recruitment agencies being retained search agencies that specialize in specific industries for senior level jobs. Both are very different in the mode they recruit and also for their service charges.

A recruitment agency charge a fee to the employer when an applicant they referred is hired. The recruitment agency will do the screening and send a group of applicants to be interviewed and screened by their client employers. The fee that is charged to the client employer if they hire one of the referred applicants can range anywhere from 5% to 30% of the employee's first years salary.

Whereas a retained recruitment agencies like Harrogate Recruitment are a much different and are hired by a company for a specific amount of time and initial fee. They charge them as a consultant whether they fill a vacant position or not. If they do fill a position they are then paid an additional fee along the lines of the recruitment agency. Retained recruitment agency acts more as an employee of the company. Retained recruitment agencies are normally looking to fill positions that have salaries of $125,000 a year to millions of dollars.

Whatever type of recruitment agency you do decide to work with you should never sign any type of exclusive agreement with them. And you need to make sure that the agency that you are hiring is expert in this field. Recruitment Harrogate is an expert recruitment agency in the United Kingdom. If you have selected a recruitment agency to seek job for you then remember that you should also never pay for a recruiter. That should be coming from the potential employers.
