Looking for work? If you're using a recruitment agency to help you in your search, you should think about how to develop a good relationship with your agency and understand the agency's rights and obligations in relation to you. Here at the REC, we can't help you find a job directly. But we CAN point you to one of the thousands of our members who will.
