Why most people do not think of using an IT staffing agency?
Many IT recruiters may think that job seekers would naturally choose to work with IT recruiting firms when looking for new IT jobs. Unfortunately this is not the case. Most people do not know how IT staffing companies work. The worst part is that they think that they would need to pay a fee!
IT recruitment companies collect their fees from the clients. In a permanent placement scenario, IT staffing firms typically charge the client anywhere from 15-25% of the candidate’s first year annual salary. In a contract IT staffing situation, IT recruiting agencies will pay the consultant their market rate, then bill the client a higher amount. Minus overhead costs (which can be significant), the difference/margin is how the IT recruiting firms make their money.
Therefore, there is no cost to you, the IT job seeker. Utilize as many IT staffing companies and IT recruiters as you feel comfortable with. It will only provide you with additional resources to help you land that next IT job.
