· Recruiters are well-versed with the market and its needs. Consequently, they will get you the best position available in the industry.

· What’s more, agencies can help you in negotiating a lucrative pay package to ensure that you get the best deal.

· Recruiters also have jobs that aren't posted anywhere, and after discussions with you, they may propose you for a job you didn't even knew existed.
