Recruiters are a valuable source in the job search process.  Before job candidates contact a recruiter, they should gain a better understanding as to how recruiting agencies work. Here, Apparel Search offers some insight.

Employers engage recruiters for many reasons with the main reason likely being to save them time.  Recruiters have a knack (and the time considering it is their business) for narrowing the search down to a few qualified resumes. When employers post a job ad, they tend to receive (and have to screen) thousands of resumes, and it takes an enormous amount of time on behalf of the employer to go through, question and, qualify each candidate, which is a main factor in going with a recruiting firm.

It is in the job candidates best interest to use a recruiting firm as they will almost always negotiate a better compensation and benefits package than a candidate will be able to negotiate  on his or her own.  During tough economic times, employers often take advantage of candidates and will offer less attractive salaries, bonuses, and benefits especially if the candidate has been out of work.  A good recruiting firm will negotiate on your behalf and act as the middle-man, which is difficult for the individual to do because he or she may come across as very aggressive.

Another reason employers go with recruiters is confidentiality – if an employer has an employee they are looking to replace and/or promote they may want to keep it under the radar.  By engaging a recruiter, employers can qualify the best candidates without ever releasing the name of the company, so the company gains control and can decide who they want to interview and disclose the new opportunity to.

It is important to note that fees should always be the obligation of the recruiter's client rather than the candidate and are typically based on a percentage of the candidate's first year income, which will range between 20% and 30% of the first year's salary. For example, if there's a $100k job at 25%, the employer would pay the recruiting firm $25k.
