What does a recruiting agency do?
A recruiting agency connects employers with workers. Employers hand off sourcing, screening, and placement, while candidates get matched to roles that fit their skills, often including positions that are never posted publicly.
Is it free for job seekers to use a recruiting agency?
Yes. In the United States recruiting agencies are paid by the employer, so job seekers do not pay a fee to be placed. Always confirm before signing anything.
How do I choose an agency in my city?
Pick your state and city above, then compare the listed agencies. Favor firms that specialize in your industry or role type, check reviews, and contact two or three to compare how they work.
What is the difference between a recruiter and a headhunter?
Both find talent for employers. Recruiters often fill a range of open roles, while headhunters focus on senior or hard to fill positions and may approach candidates who are not actively job hunting.
