Recruitment Gibraltar - Recruitment Gibraltar

The first decision you face when looking for a job in Gibraltar is whether to relocate without having found a job. To get a job here you will have to attend an interview and provide a local address. The option is to take some holiday and look for a job (but you will often be expected to start almost immediately), or fly over specially to attend an interview if the right job comes up. Most candidates find it much easier find a job if they are based here on a long term basis.

Situations vacant advertised in the newspapers or on the internet are viewed in the same system as in the UK There are also several reputable employment agencies now based in Gibraltar. The main difference you will find here is that networking is everything as usually the best jobs are not advertised.

A high proportion of vacancies are buried in the hidden job market, when positions become vacant and are filled from within a company with employees either putting themselves forward or recommending someone. These jobs are never advertised on the open market. To tap into this market you can either establish the contacts yourself or go to a professional recruitment agency and let them do this for you. The only way to do this is to make sure every contact you have including friends, local shopkeepers, your landlord and neighbours know that you are seeking employment. Even the most casual acquaintance can give you a potential job lead.

Companies are notoriously bad at responding to unsolicited letters so if you send your CV out to selected employers, be proactive and follow it up with telephone calls. Persistence spells drive and determination to most employers, but be careful not to cross the line and become a pest.
