Once the candidate is selected for an interview, the recruitment agency should coach the applicant in interview technique as well as providing typical interview questions, with answers, so that the candidate is well prepared. If the candidate is successful in being offered the role, the recruitment agency must make the onboarding process as painless as possible. It is likely that background information would be required, including credit checks, proof of address, qualifications and nationality plus copies of the candidates passport or driving licence as well as references from previous employers or educational establishments.

If you have applied to a vacancy in an IT-related publication or to a vacancy advertised on an online job board, you will have no choice on selecting the best recruitment agency for the job. In this situation, it is advised that you search for online information on the recruitment agency in the hope you find that there are no negative comments from previous candidates. Nevertheless, if it is a role you really want then you will have little choice but to engage with the recruitment agency in the hope that all goes well.

A better choice to find that new role is to do your research and select a recruitment agency that ticks all the boxes. In this situation, the recruitment agency will find you a number of vacancies that match your requirements for you to select the one that you prefer. As the recruitment agency will have taken down all your background information when you registered with them, if you land a new role, the onboarding process will be painless and quick.

In conclusion, it is preferable that you register your details with a recruitment agency that you have researched and is highly recommended. By doing this, your search for a new role should be as painless as possible. It might even be enjoyable and you can even learn new skills for interviewing and applying for new roles.
