Working With an Agency

Have you ever felt like you are "just another temp" when working with a staffing agency? Placement coordinators may interview hundreds of candidates per month and remembering every single candidate can be difficult. Luckily, there are some simple ways to make yourself stand out from the crowd. Your staffing agency is more likely to pay special attention to you if you are willing to go the extra mile to get noticed. Here are some ways you can make yourself more visible to a staffing agency:

  • Write a thank you note to your coordinator after your initial interview.
  • Always arrive early to interviews and temporary assignments.
  • Do the very best you can at your temporary assignments. Remember, temporary assignments can lead to permanent work.
  • Keep your coordinator aware of updated skills and interests as well as changes in your address and phone number.
  • Let your coordinator know what you like about your assignments. It helps in placing you more accurately and promotes a better understanding of client needs.
To be considered first for temporary and/or permanent job assignments, remember to act professionally at all times. Call your coordinator once a week to update your availability; you are more likely to be placed on assignment when you stay in regular contact. Your first, and continuing, impression with your staffing agency can land you better job opportunities. As the old saying goes: "Little things mean a lot."
