Our latest research tells us that recruitment agencies do not get a look in compared to job boards and direct applications to specific jobs and organisations.
After a month of asking jobseekers what they do once they are happy with their CV / Resume, we found that 45% choose to upload it to a job board and make online applications via their systems. 39% apply directly to company opportunities and lagging way behind is the option to use a Recruitment Agency with only 12% taking that route.
There will always be a market and desire to use Recruitment Agencies especially within certain specialist industry sectors so it really does come down to what kind of jobs are being applied for. Many jobs can be found on job boards so it is quick and easy to make job applications online in this way where the CV/Resume can be saved within a users account. On the flip side of this though, some companies will never publish their vacancies on job boards or even enrol an agent, so direct applications to companies would be the chosen avenue.

To focus our efforts in marketing across the UK, we have now switched ALL International job advertising for the rest of the 84 Country domains that we cover to FREE.
This allows all Recruitment Agencies and Direct Clients the opportunity to post anything from a single job to unlimited jobs.
A Recruiter simply needs to register as normal on the site and choose their local Country domain e.g. de.TipTopJob.com for Germany. This will automatically allow the Recruiter to then proceed to post jobs. If using a job posting board, the login details need to be passed onto the board and posting can continue as normal. For multiple uploads via CSV or XML, Recruiters will need to get in touch with TipTopJob. Otherwise, everything can be done online.
Our full list of Country domains can be found on the website here.
The only Country that is not allowing FREE job advertising is the UK. However, new advertisers within the UK, can request a FREE TRIAL for unlimited job advertising before purchasing any packages.
