Common Myths About Recruitment Agencies – Debunked!
Recruitment agencies often face misconceptions that can deter both job seekers and employers from using their services. However, when it comes to finding the right talent—or the right job—recruitment agencies can be a game-changer. At Irish Dental Jobs, we’re here to set the record straight and show you how working with a specialist agency can benefit your career or your practice.
Myth #1: Recruitment Agencies Are Expensive
✅ Truth: Many believe recruitment agencies are costly, but the reality is quite the opposite. For employers, agencies streamline the hiring process, saving time and reducing the cost of advertising and internal recruitment. For job seekers, it’s completely free—you never pay a fee. At Irish Dental Jobs, you simply submit your CV and we do the rest—matching you with the right roles and organising interviews on your behalf.
Myth #2: Agencies Only Offer Temporary Jobs
✅ Truth: While some agencies focus on temp roles, Irish Dental Jobs offers both temporary and permanent positions across all dental disciplines. Whether you're looking for a long-term career move or a short-term placement, we have exclusive listings that aren’t advertised anywhere else.
Myth #3: Agencies Only Care About Employers
✅ Truth: At Irish Dental Jobs, our motto is “People Matter”—and we mean it. We understand that we’re dealing with people’s lives and careers, not just CVs. That’s why we offer:
- Personalised career coaching
- CV and interview preparation
- Salary negotiation support
We’re committed to helping both employers and candidates succeed, and our reputation depends on making the right match.
Myth #4: You Can Just Apply Directly to Companies
✅ Truth: While applying directly is an option, many top dental practices work exclusively with recruitment agencies. That means some of the best roles are never publicly advertised. By working with Irish Dental Jobs, you gain access to this hidden job market, increasing your chances of landing a great position.
Myth #5: Using a Recruitment Agency Reduces Your Salary
✅ Truth: This is a common misconception. Recruitment agencies are paid by the employer, not the candidate. In fact, we often help job seekers negotiate better salary packages and benefits than they might secure on their own.
