TAP JOBSEEKER

How to choose a recruiter for your job search

Look for relevant experience, clear communication and a good understanding of the work you want.

Start with your kind of work

A recruiter who regularly fills roles like yours is a useful place to start. Look at their specialisms and advertised jobs rather than relying on a company name alone. Consider your industry, experience level and whether you want permanent, temporary or contract work.

Check location and working arrangements

Look for recruiters covering the places where you can work. For remote roles, read the location requirements carefully: remote does not always mean you can work from any country.

Ask how they will work with you

Before sharing documents, ask what opportunities they cover, how they submit candidates and how they will keep you updated. A useful conversation should leave you knowing what happens next and who to contact.

Keep control of your information

Confirm where your CV is going and tell the recruiter about any applications already in progress. Use verified business contact details if a request seems unusual. Never share your TAP sign-in code.
