If you are really struggling to get jobs in the UK, a job recruitment agency may be the answer. You can get both temporary job placements on an ad hock basis or even be lucky to get a permanent job placement via a UK job agency.
Such a job employment agency is often specialized in recruiting potential staff within a specific field or trade.
They would have had an established contract with a company locally, regionally or even nationally, to supply staff to fill in job vacancies either on a temporary or permanent basis, when such need arises.
There are literally thousands of job agencies in the UK, who do just that on daily basis. The job recruitment market in the UK is a multi billion pounds market.
You can register with a UK job agency even before you arrive into the country, get a job posting and then a contract letter, then come over to the UK to work. Many doctors and nurses from South Africa, New Zealand and Australia do just that.
Before registering with a job recruitment agency in the UK, why not acquaint yourself with advantages and disadvantages of working as a temporary staff or even permanent staff via a job recruitment agency, as well as know your right as a temporary worker in the UK?
UK Job Agency – Benefits to the Job Seeker
As a job seeker, you will always be at an advantage using a job agency in the UK. Such advantages include:
- Rapidly get included onto the local or regional job data base for that particular type of job or specialty

Employers have been known to create job specifically for introduced highly qualified candidates, even when a job opening did not exist initially – you could be that candidate! Why not?
- Many job placement agencies actually pay and sponsor job seekers to training courses and equip them for the job… free of charge to you which of course will also be very good on your CV.
You may be asked to fund the cost of your training on occasions or get the cost of training deducted from your wages once you start working through them.
Are you looking for residential care home jobs for example? Many job recruitment agencies would pay for you to have vital courses for careers. - Best of all, you could get a job through such job employment agency and then converted to a permanent regular staff in the company…who knows, it may be a job for life!
A few draw backs exist and should be at the back of your mind when working through a job agency in the UK.
- You could find yourself feeling sidelined or exploited by the regular staff employed directly by the host company, as some may consider you "an agency staff" and treat you with some levity.
That should not bother you though. If you are good at your job and become known, you will win the respect of all, and may even use the experience gained from the job as a spring board to securing a permanent post in your host company or somewhere else
- Job recruitment agencies tend to place restrictions on staff they introduced to a host company from been absorbed by the company, unless the host company agrees to pay an introduction fee of 10 – 30 % of the annual salary of the introduced staff. This again should not deter one from seeking employment via a job agency. If you are very desirable to a company, they will not mind paying such fee to retain you. Believe me, that is how I got my first UK job!
