It’s Easier Than You Think

First of all, it doesn’t cost you anything to use a staffing agency to help you find a job. The fees for the agency are paid by employers who are happy to have them seek out the best candidates for their vacant positions. You can search for jobs or register to have the agency start matching your qualifications with jobs that are on the market. You can also look for part-time or temporary work assignments or seek out the job of your dreams. It’s all one click away.

Get into Places You Want to Work

A staffing agency can also help by getting you considered for jobs in the industry you are looking for, in some cases, the exact company where you want to work. For example, if you are looking for a light industrial job in Southwestern Ontario or the GTA, you can simply check out the job boards like HCR’s and see what’s available. In addition, the staffing agency may already have access to jobs in certain companies that are not even open to the public yet. If you register, you can get your foot in the door, before everybody else. They might even call a particular company you are interested in to see if they have any vacancies.

Keys to Success

 

If you want to be successful getting the job you want through a staffing agency, here are a few tips:

  • Be Honest

The more honest you are about your experience and qualifications, the better a job the recruiter can do for you. They want you to get the right job, not just any job.

  • Be Professional

Take a few minutes to update and read over your resume. Make sure there are no gaps or spelling errors. When you get an interview, dress appropriately and act like it’s business. Because it is.

  • Sell Yourself

When talking to the recruiter, be prepared to quickly list your major qualifications and experience. Learn how to pitch yourself as a good candidate and then let them do their work.

  • Follow Up

After your initial contact with the staffing agency, email them to thank them for their assistance and to let them know you are eager to get to work. If you don’t hear back after a week, call them up and ask them if there’s any news.

If you are looking for a job in light manufacturing or the auto industry in the GTA or Southwestern Ontario, talk to the experts at HCR Personnel Solutions. We don’t just make promises. We deliver results.
