Employers very often use third party recruiters when targeting students, there are various ways that employers do this using third party recruiters, with some of them being recruiting on campus, representing the company’s at job fairs and screening people who apply for work via websites. Many colleges will also have third party recruiters who are on campus to help students choose careers and apply for positions, the different types of third party recruiters are:
Employment agencies
This type of third party recruiter will have a number of organisations on their books and will get a set fee for every successful candidate that they match successfully with a position. This fee can be paid by the successful candidate or the employer who offers the position and the candidate should be aware that they might have to pay the fee. If the employer will be paying the fee then it will normally be listed with the offering as “fee paid”, if not then it’s a good indication that the candidate will have to cover it.
Resume referral firms
This type of third party recruiter will gather information on those looking for positions and forward it to potential employers with positions open, the information gathered is usually by means of resumes which are then submitted into data forms which employers can access. The candidate, employer or both might have to cover the cost of the fee.
Search firms
Employers sometimes have contracts with search firms whose job is it to find and screen candidates for positions, the employer will usually pay the fee for this.
