Executive Assistant Recruitment Agencies
While recruitment agencies can offer job introductions, many candidates experience significant drawbacks when relying on them. These challenges often stem from the traditional agency model, which prioritises placement volume over long-term support or job satisfaction.
You Are Treated as a Product, not a Professional
Traditional recruitment agencies get paid only when they place you, which encourages speed over suitability.
This often results in:
- Being pushed into placements that don’t fit
- Little interest in your long-term development
- A transactional experience rather than a supportive one
Lack of Transparency About Salaries & Job Conditions
Candidates often report that recruitment agencies:
- Withhold salary information
- Change details between interviews
- Fail to communicate real expectations
- Oversell jobs to secure a commission
This leads to mismatched expectations and poor job satisfaction.
Limited Aftercare … or None at All
Once you’re placed, most recruitment agencies step away completely.
You’re left with:
- No support if the job becomes difficult
- No mediation with the client
- No guidance or performance feedback
- No replacement assistance if a job ends abruptly
You are essentially on your own.
No Career Development or Training
Traditional recruitment agencies rarely invest in their candidates.
That means:
- No skills development
- No training opportunities
- No progression planning
- No structured support
Your long-term career is not their priority — only the placement fee is.
Pressure to Accept Jobs Quickly
Because recruitment agencies earn only when you start a job, candidates often face:
- Undue pressure to accept unsuitable jobs
- Encouragement to compromise on salary or duties
- Limited time to meet the family or understand expectations
This often leads to short-term placements and career instability.
Inconsistent Communication
Common candidate frustrations include:
- Recruitment agencies going silent for weeks
- No updates after interviews
- Not receiving feedback
- Being overlooked for jobs you are qualified for
This creates uncertainty and damages confidence.
High Staff Turnover Within Recruitment Agencies
Many recruitment agencies experience frequent internal staff changes.
As a result:
- Your consultant changes regularly
- Your CV is lost or forgotten
- You must repeat your history multiple times
- Jobs fall through the cracks
Continuity and personal understanding are often missing.
Some Recruitment Agencies Share CVs Without Permission
Candidates often discover their CV has been:
- Sent to clients without consent
- Submitted for jobs they never agreed to
- Shared with multiple families at once
This can put you in uncomfortable or unprofessional situations.
Recruitment Agencies Don’t Protect Your Rights
Agencies do not:
- Help negotiate fair contracts
- Mediate disputes
- Support you during conflict with employers
- Guarantee minimum hours or income
Your wellbeing is not contractually their responsibility.
No Income Security
If a placement ends:
- You lose your income instantly
- The agency has no obligation to re-place you
- The instability remains your burden
This creates uncertainty and financial vulnerability.
In Summary
Traditional recruitment agencies are built to serve clients first, not candidates.
Their model prioritises placements over people, leaving candidates with:
- Less control
- Less protection
- Less support
- Less long-term stability
This is why a modern staffing solution, like our Private Staff as a Service™, is increasingly preferred by candidates seeking real security, ongoing support, and professional respect.
