DIFFERENT TYPES OF RECRUITMENT AGENCIES

Different types of recruitment agencies

Known either as agencies or consultancies, recruitment companies all offer more or less the same service. What differentiates one from the other is how they deliver the service.

There are four main types:

Generalists

These recruit individuals at all levels and into all industries (e.g. Michael Page).

High Street agencies

Agencies specialising in temporary and permanent work in the local area (e.g. Office Angels).

Industry specialists

Focused on just one industry such as HR or engineering.

Graduate specialists

Concerned with helping people like you. (e.g. Discovery Recruitment & Training).
