Fresh graduates from colleges in Singapore are applying for the jobs which are being advertised online and offline. There are also other professionals who wish to change their job due to different reasons or have been retrenched and are looking for a new job. While they will apply for a relevant job that is advertised, the job-seeker would like to maximize his chances of being called for an interview and also getting a job with a high salary. One way to increase the possibility of being called for an interview is by sending the resume to the top recruitment companies in Singapore. Some of the criteria a job-seeker can use to find the top-rated or most popular recruitment companies are listed below.
Client list
Most of the largest companies in Singapore are able to grow faster and have higher revenues because they have better systems and recruitment policies. While in some cases, the company may be directly recruiting the employees and contractors, in many cases, they will outsource some of the recruitment work to reputed recruitment agencies. So one of the ways to find the most popular recruitment agencies is to find out which agencies the top brands and companies are using. This information can be found browsing through the different ads which are posted online.
Salaries
In each sector, there is usually a major difference in the salaries which are offered for work done. Usually the companies which are paying the highest salaries want the best talent which is available in the market. Hence they will hire the best recruitment agencies whose staff are aware of the skills, experience and qualifications of the professionals available in the country. So another way to find the better recruitment agencies is to find the agencies which are recruiting professionals for the best paying jobs in the country.
Industry sector
The skills, attitude and experience required to flourish professionally will vary to a great extent depending on the industry sector in which the job-seeker specialize in. So increasingly recruitment agencies are also specializing in specific fields especially science, technology, engineering and mathematics abbreviated as STEM. So based on their own professional qualifications and experience, the professional should check the specialization of the agency. Most recruitment agencies have a website, where they will provide information on their activities, especially if they specialize in a particular field.
Other information
Other information may not be easily accessible, yet can help in determining the company size. If the company is publicly listed, the company revenues will be known and is an indicator of the company size. Industry and trade publications, industry associations and business magazines may profile the different companies and provide information on the revenues of the company,how it compares with other recruitment agencies in Singapore. The number of employees in a company is also an indication of the company size, since only larger companies have sufficient revenues to pay more employees. Review websites can also provide information on the popularity of a specific agency, how many job-seekers have got jobs using the agency’s services.
