What is an employment agency/staffing firm?
  • Companies paid to recruit and screen candidates for positions that are not advertised
  • Companies filling temporary positions that may become permanent employment

Why should I use one?
  • Approximately 75% of jobs are not advertised; this is an excellent way to gain access to a hidden job market
  • Many large companies use these positions to screen employees for permanent, full-time work
  • Saves time since agencies know what positions are available with multiple employers

What should I ask when contacting an employment agency/staffing firm?
  • Does your firm handle opportunities for someone with my skills and interests?
  • Who pays the fees involved if a job is offered or accepted?
    • Note: Candidates seeking entry-level positions should NEVER pay fees; make certain that the employer will be responsible for paying any fees associated with the search.
