Professional Recruitment and Corporate Match-Making: Find the Perfect Company ‘Match’ For You

The economic downturn is hitting Northern Ireland hard but could hold an opportunity for long-term growth for those smaller businesses, who want to hunt down talent, when bigger companies are experiencing redundancy. This is a good opportunity for job seekers to consider maximizing their chances of finding the right job. Companies still need to hire good employees, and you could be exactly what they are looking for.

Using a recruitment agency with an understanding of your needs and sound knowledge of your preferred industry is also worthy advice. Recruitment agencies will have a good relationship with their clients, and a good understanding of their needs. They are therefore, able to preselect the right candidates and can give you a better idea of what is required and help you to evaluate your options. At the end of the selection process a recruitment agency provide feedback from their client, positive or negative, and the reasons for the decision, helping you to plan your next career move.

Once an interview has been secured for you, it’s imperative that you think about what questions to ask that are specific to your values. I would suggest asking some questions to determine whether you and the company are a good match, for example, what skills and personality traits does the company value?, what steps do you take to incorporate new employees into the company? Or what will be the greatest expectations and challenges of this position?

The economy is heading down a rocky road but don’t loose heart, many smaller businesses know how to take advantage of the situation and would like an effective team in place by the time the recession has subsided. By doing your research and enlisting professional help, you have the best chance of finding the perfect job--one that fits you. A bad match will cause problems for everyone concerned--the company, the job candidate, and the recruitment agency.
