Why use us?

Recruitment firms provide great access to jobs which are never publicly advertised. However, recruiters work for the employer, and even those with the best intentions must put the employer’s interests first. They use a range of techniques to maximise the possibility that you will accept the position they are offering, at a salary acceptable to their client (the employer).

To allow them to represent your best interests is simply naïve. Although they may profess to be working for you, the fact they are being paid by the employer creates an obvious conflict of interest.

On top of this, as an in-demand finance professional, once you are on their database they will never leave you alone again. This would not be so bad if you were only dealing with one recruitment firm, but to get exposure to a wide range of employment opportunities you must deal with multiple firms. One phone call a day to your mobile during work hours is manageable, five calls starts to cause problems.

Empower Careers is here to provide you with informed advice using a structured planning process, and to extract all the information you need to evaluate an opportunity. We can help you avoid bad culture matches, getting a bad boss, companies in financial difficulties and dead-end jobs with high turnover. We can help you find positions that will boost your career, without having to meet with multiple recruiters or spend hours trawling through low quality information on job boards.
