How recruitment agencies work

A recruitment agency can help you find a job by putting you forward for one of their client's job openings. Here's more information on how they can assist you in your job search.


Job matching

Recruitment agencies have access to a wide network of employers and job openings. They can match your skills, qualifications, and career goals with suitable job opportunities.

At 11 Recruitment, we list our job openings on our current vacancies page. Please feel free to apply for any positions that are of interest.

Industry knowledge

Many recruitment agencies specialise in specific industries or job sectors. They have in-depth knowledge of these industries and can provide valuable insights into job market trends, salary expectations, and required qualifications.

At 11 Recruitment, we provide Perth job market updates as well as Australia-wide job market updates to help you stay informed during your job search.

Resume & interview preparation

Some recruitment agencies offer services to help you polish your resume and prepare for job interviews. They can provide tips and guidance to make your application stand out to potential employers.

At 11 Recruitment, we provide a range of free resources in our job hunting blog.

Access to hidden job market

Not all job openings are publicly advertised. Some companies prefer to work exclusively with recruitment agencies to find suitable candidates. By using an agency, you may gain access to these "hidden" job opportunities.

Temporary & contract work

Recruitment agencies often have temporary or contract positions available, which can be a way to gain valuable work experience, fill employment gaps, or transition into a permanent role.

At 11 Recruitment, you can register to become a temp by submitting your CV to us.

Negotiating job offers

Recruitment agencies can also assist in negotiating job offers, including salary and benefits, on your behalf.


As a job seeker, you don't have to pay anything to the agency. The agency's primary goal is to match you with a suitable job opportunity, but they are ultimately working on behalf of the hiring companies.
