How to choose a recruitment agency – what candidates should check
A good recruitment agency should make decisions clearer, not harder. Before sharing documents or relocating, verify the business, employment model and conditions of the actual role.
Check the company behind the vacancy
Verify the legal business name, registration details, website and contact channels.
Identify who will employ you
Identify the end employer that will employ you directly. QUICK operates as a recruitment and employment-placement agency and does not employ placed candidates itself.
Ask for concrete conditions
Role, location, employer, contract, pay, hours, accommodation, transport, language and start date should be explainable before the final decision.
- exact location
- identified employer
- pay and payment basis
- accommodation and costs
- working hours
- required qualifications
Watch for pressure and unclear fees
Unrealistic promises, unexplained charges and pressure to decide immediately should trigger caution.
