Experience using eFinancialcareers for a FO job

Hi Team,

I wanted to hear if anybody had any experience of using efinancialcareers to successfully look for a job.

I have heard that recruiters lurk around on there just to build up a database of candinates, are the recrutiers actually useful on there? I am thinking applying for as many roles as I see that are interesting on there and take it from there?

Anythings on the best approach?

Thanks

 

Ok, I have applied for about 10 roles and a lot of the time they are dead ends just for recruitment agents to collect data. I had a call from Selby Jennings (absolute jokers) try to ask where else I have been applying to as "they might be able to help me" ... or just approach them to get a mandate.

I would avoid those guys like the plague, they sell you a decent firm then say would you consider this 3-man shop?

They are absolute jokers! I think applying direct would be the way to go.

 

A recruitment agent has just given me a call for a role at a bank, I know the team well as a lot of people on my grad scheme went there. The Agent told me not to contact my friends there, I wanted to know if it would be a good idea to contact them? Would it cause any problems?

They simply don't want you to contact them so that the bank couldn't bypass them (i.e. the recruiter). In short, they want to ensure they get paid for placing you (if you do get the role). In general, there's no way it could cause problems - they can't prohibit you from speaking with your friends...
