I think it depends. I have a friend out of work at the moment – she is registered just about everywhere, and hasn’t yet found a job – but is applying for things – she searches everyday.
The job centre keep trying to get her jobs she cant do – for example at the moment she needs to use a stick to aid walking (she is hopeful it’s not perm) and it doesn’t stop her from working in an office etc – but they keep suggesting cleaning jobs for her?
Also, because she hasn’t had a job offer, they keep sending her on “CV” courses, there is NOTHING wrong with her CV – 3 independent places have told her this.
Also, if you are currently in work and looking to change, I’ve found they are less interested because you actually already HAVE work
