Applying through job portals requires rewriting your resume to match the requirements of the job advertised. This is easier said than done. It is a time-consuming exercise for a busy nurse or medical practitioner.
A smart decision would be to seek the help of a recruitment agency.
Recruiters can link your skill requirements with the available vacancies in their database. They can offer placements in a wide range of occupations and industries, increasing your chances of being employed faster.
Most recruitment agencies also offer integrated solutions like resume writing or migration services. Registering with a recruitment agency gives you several advantages:
More Options
It’s common for hospitals and large clinics to use the services of recruiters rather than advertising the roles themselves. Hence recruitment agencies have ‘insider information’ on vacancies across medical organisations. As a candidate, you’ll have access to these jobs that are otherwise not available in the open market.
Understanding of the Culture
Years of working with medical facilities mean healthcare staffing agencies have a deeper understanding of how the business operates and its culture. As such, recruiters find you a job at a hospital or clinic that fits your matches your skills and as well are your work preferences, whether you’re looking for a temporary job or a permanent placement
Timesaving
Almost all recruiters maintain a candidate database. Registering with a staffing agency is the key to the present and future job opportunities. And it’s only a one-time process. However, it is advisable to update your resume or profile whenever you have new skills/experience etc. Recruitment agencies take it on them to do the legwork to land you in the right job.
Salary
Trained recruitment consultants offer salary advice and assist you in getting the right to pay commensurate to your years of experience and level of medical expertise.
Resume Writing Service
Recruiters usually coach candidates to highlight key skills in their resume that will make them more attractive with their prospective employer. Some agencies also provide professional resume writing services. This can be an advantage for those who had an awkward or difficult employment history.
Referral Check
Recruiters take it on them to do the referral check. Hence, your referrals will be called only once, regardless of the number of times the recruitment agency puts forward your resume to a prospective employer.
Trusted Resource
Recruiters can be an effective partner in your search for a job. They have contacts in various fields and can work to get you a job in your chosen profession. Their recommendations can speak volumes in comparison to a speculative resume obtained from a job portal.
Confidentiality
They guarantee that your personal information and resume are kept confidential. These details are provided to prospective employers only with your permission. This is an additional benefit that you won’t be able to achieve only through online job portal registrations.
Can Help You with Relocation
If you’re overseas and looking to work in Australia, then approaching a recruitment agency is your best bet.
