Q: I’ve never used a talent solutions agency. How does it work?
You are more than just a resume or an application and that’s where we come in to understand your career goals. We work with top local companies, and we’re always looking for in-demand talent for our clients’ contract and permanent positions. We also help in other ways, such as improving your resume, prepping you for interviews, and sharing local hiring trends.
Q: Why should I use Connect Space to find a job?
A lot of people wonder why they should bother with a recruitment agency when they can look for their own job instead. Some of the biggest benefits are for example, we have access and knowledge of many more jobs than you could possibly find. Not all jobs go onto traditional job sites, while others will be in companies that you will probably never have heard of.
At Connect Space, we have placed people in jobs where they have never heard of the company before and turn out to be great paving for their careers. Moreover, it can also be the best way to get into those well-known but hard-to-reach companies.
Additionally, we will have insider knowledge about the company, the culture, and the business plans We give you an extra buffer between you and the company, meaning you can ask questions you might not ask the actual employer.
Q: Do I have to pay for this service?
No, we never charge job seekers for our staffing services. Search our open jobs or upload your resume and we will contact you once shortlisted for an interview.
Q: So, how does Connect Space – Ajira Kwako get paid?
Connect Space has a fee they charge which is paid by the future employer. This is already a setup agreement between us and the company that is looking to hire you and not affecting your salary offer.
Q: Does that mean the candidate earns less money when placed by us?
No, it means the clients pay the recruitment agency the fee directly. It is not taken out of the new employee’s salary. However, it also means clients don’t have to pay the fee until the consultant gives them a successful candidate.
Q: How do I sign up with Connect Space – Ajira Kwako to help me find a job?
Simply click on Job Posts on our website and apply for jobs you feel are a good match for you. We will then contact you if your skills and experience meet the requirements of an open position or match what our clients typically look for. You can also upload your resume and we will get in touch if you are a good match for any open positions. We receive new job requests constantly, so continue to check back frequently and apply to those that match your background, credentials, and interests.
Q: Why don’t we show company names on our job ads/posts?
Candidates familiar with recruitment agency job ads may have noticed that they commonly leave out the name of the company. There are a number of reasons behind this. Sometimes this is a client-driven decision because they haven’t communicated internally that they’re hiring yet, or we may have been asked to work in the background discreetly.
The other reason behind it is to exclude bias on the candidate’s side and to capture a wider audience. As a candidate, you will more than likely have your own opinions about companies or industries, and seeing that information on a job spec could turn you off before you even look at the role. Leaving out the company’s names can help you focus on the role itself.
Q: Who are we really working for?
The nature of recruitment work means that agencies and consultants have two customers: clients and candidates. Without one or the other, we cannot be successful, so Connect Space is genuinely working for both.
Nonetheless, there is an important distinction that can habitually be forgotten which is the EMPLOYERS are the ones that pay the fee. Candidates receive a free service from us, while employers pay for the privilege of being offered a top-quality candidate, so it’s important that we find the perfect talent for them.
That is not to say that we do not have candidates’ best interests in mind. After all, a well-matched candidate who is happy with their new job means a better relationship with Connect Space and a satisfied client. We work to help candidates find their dream job, prep them diligently for interviews, communicate with them throughout the process, and advocate for them at the offer stage. Our testimonials show our dedication to candidates, while our success stories show our commitment to our clients.
Q: I was interviewed. Why hasn’t anyone contacted me?
There may be several possible reasons. Perhaps the position you applied for has been staffed or your experience does not match the client’s specified needs. We have new job openings constantly, and we recommend that you keep your resume and profile updated and continue to apply for opportunities that match your skill set.
Q: What happens to my data as a candidate?
At Connect Space, we treat our candidates’ data with respect. When we put a candidate into the system, we get permission from them to share it with clients and we keep the candidate informed at all stages.
Connect Space DOES NOT blindly send resumes to several clients without initially touching base with candidates and talking to them first.
Q: Do I have to take a skills assessment?
Connect Space offers an online candidate skills evaluation to help determine a candidate’s proficiencies and skills related to specific applications and assignment tasks. Your investment in this short assessment provides you with insights into the work culture and environment you perform best — and allows us to focus on finding the best available opportunity for you.
