Could a recruiter help me?

I graduated with a First from Bristol in Aero. Engineering and since then have spent the last three years abroad. The last two in particular have been managing operations and staff for a humanitarian agency in Africa. (The role was also high in improving and troubleshooting roles).

At the moment, since I have little relevant experience, I am applying to various Strategy firms at the graduate level. I would imagine that a recruitment agency would therefore be unlikely to help me since firms could basically do their own recruitment at this low level. However someone I met last night recommended I get on the books of some, since even if Strat. firms don't advertise with them for new recruits, they can send my CV around for things I might not be able to find.

Is this true? And if so are there any recruitment firms in particular you might be able to recommend for someone like myself?

Many thanks, Dave

Is no-one able to help?

Even a couple of names for good general managment recruitment agencies would help. All I have found so far are quite specialised.

Try Michael Page they are pretty good but be very specific with them on what your looking for other wise they will unindate you with pointless jobs and then try to dress them up into something great. They have good links but just be careful. Also try graduate jobs.com they do exactly what it says on the tin.
