Recruitment agencies look to place candidates with a company for a fee. They can only do this when the candidates skills are in high demand and there clients are actively recruiting. In these circumstances I would agree registering with an agency is a good idea. This is not the case right now nor will it be for the short to medium term. This is about getting people together to create opportunity for those that are currently unemployed or on unpaid leave and who right now despite their very high skill levels find that their services are not in any demand at all but who as collective group could be bought together for the public good in what is a fast changing and dynamic situation. This is a bespoke concept intending to get things moving for people who are currently in a deep hole but who could together make things happen this is not a young kid looking to take note of your hours rating date of last flight and mobile number in order to make a 10% placement fee by sending you somewhere you do not want to be.
