Frequently Asked Questions
-
Do you advertise every job available?
No. Many jobs don’t get advertised, so make sure you register with us by submitting your CV to start developing a relationship with your recruitment consultant.
-
Does it cost anything to register?
No. There is no fee for our candidates at any time during our recruitment service.
-
Will I receive a phone call when I register?
Unless your skills match a role we’re currently recruiting for, or we need more detail, you may not receive a call. However, you will receive an email acknowledgement of registration.
-
Do I have to be actively looking for alternative work to register?
No. If you’re trying to decide whether to move on from your role or are looking for some general advice and market information, please get in touch.
-
What if I’m struggling to find permanent work?
Our advice is to consider temporary work in the meantime. You can develop skills in temporary roles while growing your networks. Alternatively, you could use the time to further your education or up-skill in areas that will help you reach your personal career objectives.
-
What is the role of the recruitment consultant?
Recruiters search for the right candidate based on the skill, knowledge and experience a client has requested. Their primary aim is to match the ideal candidates with the right role and organisation.
-
What if I don’t get the job?
Finding out you didn’t get the job can be disappointing. Your consultant will provide as much constructive feedback as they can. Experience, skills, qualifications, attitude, motivation and potential or cultural fit are all reasons why an organisation might find another candidate more suitable. Don’t take it personally, and contact us on 1800 151 331 or at info@searsonbuck.com.au if you would like to talk.
