Subject: Seeking Guidance on Finding Recruitment Agencies
Hello everyone! I’m currently at a senior level in my career and I’m interested in transitioning from an agency role to an in-house position. I’m curious to know how I can identify which recruitment agencies specific companies or brands partner with, especially when they aren’t utilizing in-house recruiters. Any insights would be greatly appreciated—thank you!

Hi! Transitioning from agency to in-house can be a great career move. To find out which recruitment agencies specific companies or brands use, here are a few strategies you might consider:
LinkedIn: Check the profiles of people working at your target companies. Sometimes, recruiters will mention their agency experience or the partners they work with in their profiles. You can also use LinkedIn’s job posting feature to see which agencies are advertising roles for those companies.
Networking: Reach out to your professional network. Someone in your connections may have insights or contacts within the companies you’re interested in. Attend industry events or webinars to expand your network.
Recruitment Agency Websites: Some agencies showcase their clients on their websites. Check out the portfolios of agencies you’re interested in to see if they list the companies you’re targeting.
Job Boards: Sometimes job postings will mention the agency responsible for the vacancy. Keep an eye out for terms like “listed by” or “in collaboration with.”
Industry Forums/Groups: Join online forums or groups related to your industry. Members often share insights and experiences, which can help you identify the right agencies.
Research: Look for articles, blogs, or reports about recruitment trends in your industry. These documents sometimes mention the key agencies that partners with well-known brands.
Cold Outreach: If you have a specific company in mind, consider reaching out directly to the HR department to inquire about their recruitment process and any agencies they work with.
Good luck with your transition!
