  No la, cos i got find part time job through them... Then my friends and i calculated the approx pay that they'll get... Cos the job say maybe is $7/hr one, then when you go thru them, it becomes $5/hr... So while you work, the agent earns money... If you calculate good months can go beyond 5-6k also.

  Recruit thru agent will alway get lower paid, cos the company have to pay the agent by offsetting yr paid.

   

  At present, the labour market is tight, the economy is breathing well, alot of companies need staffs and skill peoples, go look for job yourself is much better.

  I know from an agent that besides the basic salary they earn commission.    Please go find out about the market salary range for the basic salary before you search for any jobs.

  hi, im working in a recruitment agency. though im under the international recruitment part, most of my other colleagues do local placements. basic pay: $1600. if u exceed ur sales target for the month, the extra 50/50 u get commission! its a stressful job though when u dont have candidates for the job and the companies are pressurising you.
