What term refers to agencies that help companies find job candidates?

1. Recruiters

2. Headhunters

3. Job fairs

4. Employment offices

The correct answer is: Headhunters

The term that accurately describes agencies that assist companies in finding job candidates is "recruiters." Recruiters specialize in sourcing and selecting candidates for job openings across various industries. They work on behalf of companies to identify suitable candidates based on specific job requirements and their understanding of the market. While "headhunters" can also be involved in this process, they typically focus on finding candidates for high-level or executive positions and may operate in a more targeted manner than general recruiters. "Job fairs" are events where multiple employers and job seekers meet, but they do not constitute a dedicated agency performing candidate searches. Similarly, "employment offices" can refer to broader organizations that may provide job placement services or resources for job seekers but do not specifically engage in the recruitment process for companies in the same direct manner as recruiters do. Therefore, the correct understanding of the role of recruiters highlights their importance in connecting businesses with potential employees effectively.
