Finding that job...

Are you looking for a job? Do you find that looking for a good job can be a bit like finding a needle in a haystack? Where to start with the job search?

First things first; you need to make contact with people in the know. As local recruiters we know which employers in this area you will want to work for and sometimes, more importantly, who you don’t. Convenient offices in Sheffield city centre, appointments to register can be made anytime between 8.45am and 7pm.

All our live job opportunities and temporary assignments can be browsed on our website, and we operate five main temporary and permanent recruitment divisions covering the South Yorkshire jobs market.

Fed up of filling in forms?

So are we, so here’s the Benchmark Recruit has invested in the latest software enabling us to take the details we need directly from your CV - once you have emailed your CV to us you are on our radar. We work on an appointment basis for full registration which involves a one to one consultation. It is essential that we take the time to get to know you as an individual and find out exactly what drives you, what aspirations you have for your workplace and, more importantly what position you want us to find for you. You need identification and details of excellent references to bring to your consultation. This takes no more than an hour, unless you speak very, very slowly!

A helping hand...

Your career consultant will provide CV advice, useful and constructive interview tips and techniques, and most importantly pre interview preparation. We will have always visited the client before you so we can give you an accurate heads up on what to expect. Inside information can make all the difference to your performance in an interview, keeping you on track to what is relevant to the person that makes the ultimate decision whether to hire.

A head start...

With an exclusive client base across South Yorkshire we have jobs that you won’t find on recruitment websites, and more often than not we work on an exclusive basis with clients. Sometimes you can go up against only 4 other people instead of the usual 150 people applying per job advert at the moment. With those odds you stand a much better chance of nailing it!

Getting it right...

We don’t get paid if you drop out of a placement, so we won’t push you into anything we don’t think you will stick at. We are not targeted like ‘High Street’ agencies so we don’t send people to interviews we don’t think they will get. Your time and our client’s time is precious

Recommend a Friend!

As a sweetener we offer a 'recommend a friend' or if you prefer‘ Big up a Buddy’ scheme whereby if you recommend someone to us that we place in a permanent position once they complete their probation you will receive a £50 voucher each for the store of your choice.
So many of our candidates are delighted with the way we have helped them secure temporary or permanent work that they recommend us to their friends, family and colleagues for free! Check out these comments on our Candidates Testimonials page.
