Many people discover there can be a noticeable difference between finding a job and launching a career. The challenge is to know when to accept a job for survival and when to hold out for a skilled position based on inherent skills and training.
This is where employment agencies come into play. Employment agencies serve as intermediaries between workers and employers, with the stated goal of matching the companies´ needs with the workers´ skills and interests. Employment agencies may be privately owned or sponsored by state or federal labor departments.
Public employment agencies also act as clearinghouses for local factory applicants. Major companies often provide application forms in preparation for new rounds of hiring or other expansions of their workforce. Employment agencies, especially those sponsored by state governments, have enough personnel to process thousands of applications, unlike the companies´ own human resource departments. Unemployed workers are strongly encouraged to visit employment agencies in order to fill out numerous applications.
Employment agencies also maintain a database of skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled workers available for hire. Whenever a potential employer posts a specific job vacancy with the agency, all of the registered applicants with matching skills may receive a phone call or mail-in card notifying them of this opening. Staff members of employment agencies may conduct a mini-interview or give interested applicants more details about the position. Sometimes the only message will be an address and contact information, and it is up to the applicant to make arrangements for a job interview directly with the potential employer.
