Finding the right job

What is Agency.lk (AgencyLK)?

Agency.lk is a job-search platform connecting people looking for work in Sri Lanka with employers publishing vacancies. Browse jobs, review company profiles and submit your CV through a vacancy’s application form. AgencyLK and Agency LK are written variations of the Agency.lk name.

How do I find jobs in Sri Lanka on Agency.lk?

Open Browse Jobs, enter a job title, skill or company name, and choose a location or category. Narrow the results by job type, work mode, experience and salary. Open a vacancy to read the requirements and posted date before applying.

How can I find jobs in Colombo, Kandy or other Sri Lankan cities?

Use the location filter on the jobs page to see vacancies in your preferred city. Check the location written in each vacancy, including any travel or on-site requirements. Availability changes as employers publish and close vacancies.

Can I look for remote, part-time or entry-level jobs?

Yes. Select Remote under work mode, Part-time under job type, or Entry under experience. These filters show matching published vacancies when available. Confirm any country, working-hour or office-visit requirements with the employer before applying.

How do I find internships and jobs with no previous experience?

Look for Internship under job type or Entry under experience. Read the education, skills and experience requirements in each advert. Use coursework, projects, volunteering or training to show relevant abilities when you have limited paid work experience.

What does it mean when a vacancy lists several locations?

The employer has associated the vacancy with more than one location. Read the description to check whether you can choose a branch, must travel between sites or need to work in a particular area. Confirm the actual reporting location with the employer.

What should I do if my job search shows no results?

Try a broader job title, remove one filter at a time and check nearby locations or related categories. A narrow combination of salary, experience and work mode can exclude otherwise relevant vacancies. Check back as employers publish new opportunities.

How are salaries shown on Agency.lk?

Published salary amounts are displayed in Sri Lankan rupees (LKR). Some employers do not publish a salary. Ask the employer to confirm the pay period, whether the amount is gross or take-home pay, and any allowances before accepting an offer.

Preparing and uploading your CV

What should I prepare before applying for a job?

Prepare an up-to-date CV, working email address, phone number and a short explanation of how you meet the vacancy’s requirements. Review your education, skills, projects and work experience before completing the application form.

What information should I include in my CV?

Include your contact information, a brief introduction, relevant skills, education and recent experience. Describe achievements or projects that show what you can do. Use clear headings and check that employers can reach you using the email address and phone number you provide.

Should I use the same CV for every vacancy?

Review your CV for each role and highlight the experience that matches its stated requirements. Keep qualifications and achievements accurate, and use specific examples of your work. A focused application helps an employer assess your suitability for that particular vacancy.

Which CV file types and sizes does Agency.lk accept?

The application form accepts PDF, DOC, DOCX, PNG, JPG/JPEG and WEBP files up to 5 MB. Check that the document opens correctly and its text is readable before uploading it. Follow any additional document instructions written in the vacancy.

What should I do if my CV will not upload?

Check the file type, reduce the file to 5 MB or less and confirm that your connection is working. Open the file on your device to check it is readable. Wait for the upload-success message before submitting; selecting a file alone does not complete the upload.

What should I write in the cover letter field?

Briefly explain why you are interested in the role and how your experience meets its main requirements. Refer to relevant skills or achievements and follow any instructions in the advert. The application form accepts a cover letter of up to 5,000 characters.

Applying and tracking applications

How do I apply for a vacancy on Agency.lk?

Open the vacancy, read the description and posted date, then complete the application form. Provide your first and last name, email address, phone number and uploaded CV. Add a cover letter if relevant, select Submit Application and check the confirmation message.

Do I need to create an account before applying?

A new applicant can submit the job’s application form without signing in first; a candidate account is created for a new email address. If that email already belongs to an account, sign in before applying. Use the same email address later to access your applications.

How do I know my application was submitted?

Check for the application-submitted confirmation on the page. After signing in with the email used to apply, open Applications to review the submission. A confirmation email can arrive separately; check your application history before trying to submit again.

Why does the site say I have already applied for this job?

Agency.lk allows one application per candidate account for each vacancy. The already-applied message means a submission is recorded for that job. Check Applications using the same account rather than repeatedly sending the form.

Can I apply to more than one vacancy?

Yes. You can apply to different vacancies that match your interests and qualifications. Read each advert and review the CV and contact details selected for that application. Choose roles you can reasonably explain your suitability for.

Where can I track my job applications?

Sign in, switch to Job Seeker mode and open Applications. Search by job title or filter by the displayed application status. Make sure you use the email address associated with the original submission.

What do Pending, Shortlisted and Rejected mean?

Pending means the application is awaiting a recruitment decision. Shortlisted means the employer has marked it for further consideration. Rejected means the employer has marked it as unsuccessful. Confirm interview arrangements or an offer through the employer’s own communication.

Does updating my profile change the CV in an earlier application?

No. Each application keeps the CV and applicant details submitted with it. Updating your current profile or uploading another CV does not replace those earlier submissions. Review the file selected in the application form when applying to a new vacancy.

How do I check whether a job is still accepting applications?

Read the vacancy’s current status and any dates in its description. A posted date tells you when the advert was published. If no separate closing date is shown, confirm the application period with the employer. A vacancy marked Applications closed cannot accept a new application.

How long will an employer take to respond?

Employers manage their own recruitment schedules, so Agency.lk does not promise a response date. Check Applications and messages sent to the contact details you supplied. Follow any communication or interview instructions included in the advert.

Your account and saved jobs

How do I sign in to Agency.lk?

Open Sign In, enter your email address and follow the verification-code instructions. Use the email associated with your applications to see the same records. You can also use a social sign-in option if it is displayed and available for your account.

What should I do if my sign-in code does not arrive or has expired?

Check the email address you entered and look in spam or junk folders. Follow the on-screen resend timer to request another code, then use the most recently requested code. Requesting a new code invalidates previous unused codes. Keep verification codes private.

How can I save a job and return to it later?

Sign in in Job Seeker mode and select Save Job on the vacancy page. Open Saved Jobs in your account to return to it. Check that the vacancy is still open before applying; saving a job does not reserve the position or submit an application.

How do I follow or unfollow a company?

Sign in, open a company profile and select Follow Company. The button changes to Following; select it again to unfollow. You can revisit the profile to review the employer’s current vacancies.

Why am I asked to switch to Job Seeker mode before applying?

Signed-in employer accounts must switch to Job Seeker mode to apply for or save jobs. Use the account role switch in the header and check your candidate details before applying. Admin accounts cannot apply for or save vacancies.

Employers and safer job searching

Does applying guarantee an interview or a job?

No. Employers decide who to shortlist, interview and hire. Agency.lk provides vacancy information and application tools. Read the requirements carefully and use accurate examples to explain how you match the role.

What should I check before sharing personal information?

Review the company profile, vacancy and employer contact information. Share documents relevant to the application and verify unexpected requests through a contact channel you trust. Keep account passwords and verification codes private. Read the Privacy Policy to understand how the platform handles applicant information.

What does the verified-company badge mean?

The badge indicates that Agency.lk has approved the company’s business-registration verification. Continue to review the specific vacancy, employer communication and proposed terms before making a decision. Employers remain responsible for their recruitment decisions.

What should I do if a vacancy or recruitment message looks suspicious?

Pause the application and confirm the opportunity using the company’s independently verified contact information. Check unexpected requests for money, account access or unrelated identity documents before responding. Avoid sharing further sensitive information while the request is unresolved.
