I recently worked with Ross Stevenson in Vanrath to secure a new role in Project Management and I couldn't recommend him or the company enough. From the very beginning, Ross was encouraging, supportive and honest about the process. He was able to provide me with support and listened to my concerns and worries about the job search process. He made the process seamless and straightforward with prompt updates and always keeping me informed. I got great assistance from Robbie Lemon from Vanrath, he assured me that he would get me a job placement. That's exactly what he did. I am very grateful for the good service, assurance and commitment. Thank you very much! I had to attend the office to complete some paperwork and the whole experience was very seamless. Conor was great and very patient with me. My consultant presented details of job opportunities in a friendly and efficient manner, taking into account my experience and preferences Choosing the right consultancy is key when considering your next career move. It is essential that the recruiter completely understands your background and has assessed your skills to an extent where they can assist you with your career progression by speaking to you about specific market opportunities. A good recruiter will not only speak to you about job opportunities, but will advise on interview techniques, CV layout, core competencies for specific roles, salary expectations and progression paths. With this in mind you should consider the following criteria when assessing which consultancies best meet your needs : Consultancy client base - which clients does the recruitment consultancy work with and is this client base representative of the career path you wish to take? CV ownership - you should have complete control over the whereabouts of your CV. Some consultancies will often send a CV to clients without the express permission of the candidate. Do not tolerate recruitment consultants who send your CV to clients without you knowing it - this is completely unacceptable behaviour and under no circumstances should you feel pressurised into working with them as a result. Candidate care and satisfaction - you should also feel that you have a right to ask about the consultancies policy towards candidate care. The end result of this is that you should feel that you have entered into a trusted working partnership that lasts your entire working career rather than a one-off transaction. Consultant credibility - does the consultant understand your needs and the business / role you want to work in? It is vital that you feel like you are speaking to credible consultants with relevant industry / market knowledge. Make sure you trust the consultant. Be 100% honest with them and expect / demand 100% honestly and confidentiality at all times. Ask how much experience your recruiter has. It is important that they have industry experience and are a specialist in your business sector.
