Recruitment Consultancy

Roles advertised by agencies on behalf of employers. What working through a consultant involves, and why it costs you nothing.

Knowledge

Recruitment consultancies, in plain terms.

A recruitment consultancy role is advertised by an agency on behalf of an employer. A good consultant earns their place in the process: briefing you properly, preparing you for interview, negotiating the offer and telling you things that never make the advert.

Candidate-side advice costs nothing, because the employer pays the fee. Some briefs are confidential at first, which is normal for senior or sensitive hires. Full disclosure: this filter includes roles listed by us, since Architecture Social is a recruitment consultancy.

This hub gathers the roles advertised by recruitment consultancies across our jobs board.

  • You get a guide

    A consultant screens, briefs and prepares you before the employer ever sees your name.

  • Discretion has reasons

    Some roles are confidential at first, and a consultant can tell you more in conversation than in print.

  • It costs you nothing

    Recruiters are paid by the employer, so their advice costs you nothing.
