If you're thinking of moving jobs, using a recruitment agency can save you time effort, and money:
- Agencies get lots of vacancies, so they offer specialist knowledge of an entire market
- They can help you decide if your next move should be to a small independent practice, say, or a corporate
- If talking money makes you cringe, they can help you negotiate the best salary package
- They'll give you feedback about your CV and interview technique if you sometimes struggle to sell yourself
- If you're planning to relocate, they will know which employers might contribute towards the costs of moving
- If you want to move locally, they will discreetly sound out potential employers
- They can tell you if they feel you could be more ambitious and seek more senior positions
- They can get you out of your geographical comfort zone by encouraging you to consider other areas
- If you're planning to try before you buy, perhaps by seeking a locum position in a new area first, some will offer to help you find temporary accommodation
- If you're looking to move overseas, they can advise on visas and regulatory requirements
