The job market in Belfast can be fiercely competitive. This is due mostly to the fact that a majority of urban areas have too many residents and too few jobs. Quite often a job listing is posted and dozens of applicants send in their CVs in a matter of a single day. This means that someone truly qualified may not even get interviewed because their CV was not among the first received. So, how does a job seeker overcome such a no-win situation?

Generally, the best approach is to work with a professional job seeker’s agency, and Ashton Recruitment in Belfast is one of the most reliable and effective. The group is able to break down a job seeker’s search for work by neighborhood, industry, experience level and specialization. They use a special CV analysis to ensure that their seekers get up to the minute information about all of the job openings that they are qualified for. This means that a job seeker may get a notification about a career they haven’t even considered, but one they are perfectly qualified to apply for.

For example, someone with many years experience in the travel industry may not believe they would be a qualified website writer, but in fact they have the knowledge that would make them a perfect candidate for such a business. Ashton Recruitment in Belfast would be able to align such an individual with such a professional opportunity.

The company also works with all of their job seekers to help them build the best CVs possible. They even have a special “CV Wizard” that makes the entire process extremely simple and efficient. By filling in the basic details and providing descriptive text, the job seeker is provided with an electronic file that can be used whenever they want to apply to a job through the Ashton Recruitment in Belfast website.

Needing a job, and spending the time searching for one should not be a frustrating, degrading or fruitless effort. Even when the search is not successful it should provide some information or education, such as the discovery that a certain set of skills or a past experience can qualify the job seeker for a whole new industry. Those enrolled with Ashton Recruitment in Belfast get such benefits from using the service. They can seek jobs in their neighborhood or perform a simple city-wide search, they can look within their specific industry, or they can fine-tune a search for a specific skill. This means that job seekers can enjoy the widest range of opportunities and a leading edge over their competition.

Did you know that Day One rights for agency workers are the hirer’s responsibility?

There are two rights to which agency workers are entitled from the first day of an assignment.

As the hirer you must inform agency workers of existing vacancies within your organisation. You do not have to actively seek out each agency worker and tell them individually of the vacancies but you must ensure that they have the same access to information about vacancies as other workers. This can mean posting a vacancy into a communal area (such as a staff canteen) or on an intranet.

Agency workers will also be entitled to access collective on-site facilities such as crèche and childcare facilities, canteen facilities, car parking and the provision of transport services. However, access to facilities can be refused if there are ‘objective grounds’ for doing so. In practice this means that if there is a waiting list for childcare facilities or a car park space, an agency worker is not automatically entitled to a place but can be subject to the same criteria to access the facility as someone directly recruited by the hirer.

‘Amenities’ such as subsidised gym membership and season ticket loans are out of scope as they are considered to be a reflection of the long term relationship between an employee and a hirer which will not be appropriate for agency workers.

The hirer is solely liable for the Day One rights.
