Sifting through a never-ending list of job ads, repeatedly applying for roles, constantly posting your CV (which may not have been polished by a professional), or not having a recruiter to help guide you. All of the mentioned can negatively impact your job prospects.
The ideal recruitment consultant will be well-versed in your desired industry. They will get to know you and try to understand your strengths and interests, as well as what you are looking for, before placing you in roles that match those interests.
Recruiters can help you tailor your CV to the job and present yourself effectively. I.e., what to wear, tips to help you better face an interview, and how to portray yourself to the hiring manager. Recruiters communicate with hiring companies. Because of this, they will have inside knowledge to relay information to you.
In cases where candidates are currently employed but also actively searching for a new position, they may not want their current employer to know that they are actively looking for a new job. In situations such as this, it is beneficial to have a recruiter, so you do not have to post your CV publicly on job boards or forums.
Your recruiter will keep an eye out for any roles that match your interests and if they become available.
