Recruitment Agencies

Today, we are all living fast-paced lives and there is cutthroat competition, especially in countries like Singapore. We are not only the most expensive city to live in but also the most competitive economy worldwide. Given the great lifestyle, safety and luxuries that this island-state has to offer, it is also a hub for expats who come from all parts of the world seeking jobs and a better life here.  It goes without saying that Singapore has  a thriving job market, but how do we easily find the right job that is perfect for us? How do we connect with the employers and job providers? This is where recruitment agencies come in. They play a very important role in connecting aspiring job seekers like me and you with employers. However, to make the best of  a recruitment agency, it is important to understand how the process works. The first step is for an employer to engage an agency to assist in searching, filtering, assessing and recruiting new employees for a list of job roles. Then, the agency compiles a list of the most suitable candidates from the pool of resumes that they have in their database. Finally, the employer selects suitable individuals from the shortlist, and the recruitment agency arranges for an interview. On this note, it is important to understand the significance of having a good resume — a well-laid out CV that clearly states your past experiences, qualifications, aspirations and skill set. Remember to tweak your resume as per the job role that you are applying for! Generally, a good recruitment agency will advise you on how to write a perfect resume and cover letter to get your dream job.
