A recent survey of over 500 job seekers conducted by national recruitment and business services group, HR GO plc, revealed that using recruitment agencies was the top method of job search. 64% of job seekers preferred to use agencies to fuel their job search, followed by 36% who say job boards are the best way to find work. With over 50 years’ experience of supplying personnel, recruitment group HR GO plc is not surprised by the results of the survey:

“There are so many benefits to using an agency to source work”, comments Richard Tillbrook, Managing Director of HR GO (Kent) Ltd, one of the plc’s joint venture recruitment companies. And even more so in today’s climate - the high level of redundancies businesses have been forced to make has led to an explosion of jobseekers looking for jobs in a candidate saturated market which makes it all the more important to seek the help of a professional recruiter to secure that job.”
