There are many organisations and resources to help you find a job, to progress your career or change your profession. Here we provide some information and resources to get you started.

Recruitment agencies, recruitment consultants, executive search and headhunters are all specialists in the recruitment market place. Some are generalist organisations recruiting for many different types of jobs, others specialise in more senior jobs, or jobs in a particular profession.

They often have contacts in many local companies and will often hear about vacancies coming up before they are advertised.

They will discuss your experience and CV with you, the opportunities available, organisations they could approach on your behalf and keep you informed of vacancies matching your requirements.

Use our own Job Search to get you thinking about the types of jobs available or jobs in a particular profession. The Sector Summaries will give you information on what it is like to do particular jobs and provide information on routes into then and the qualifications required.

Visit the websites below of national recruiters who will be able to put you in touch with someone near to where you live.
