Registering with Recruitment Agency to get sponsor

[lin]

Hi all,

I only have 10 months left on my PSW, wondered if anyone registered with recruitment agency in order to find suitable jobs and employer that are willing to sponsor?

I am based in Manchester, any tips will be much appreciated, thanks.

I have no personal experience apart from that many employers I know have no agency workers at the moment because they have got rid of them first rather than making substantive staff redundant.

Remember that agencies cannot be sponsors, so ideally you need an agency that will place you with an employer. Although I know temporary work as an agency worker can be a foot in the door.

Unfortunately, I also know that employers I know are getting so many good candidates through cheap advertising campaigns, recommend a friend schemes or from speculative CVs that they are not using agencies at all at the moment.
