Why? Because they are paid on a commission basis based on annual salaries. Time is precious to them so they rather work on higher yielding jobs.

For new grads or lower paying jobs, there are general recruitment or mass market agencies that cater to this market like recruit express, kelly services etc.

Don't go for agencies that handle every like jobs. who knows the resume you've submitted might be considered for a call operator job or an insurance agent job. they know nuts about your qualifications and are only interested in meeting quotas

I have sought & found jobs through recruitment agencies in the past. You send them your resume, they find suitable jobs for you & get back to you- if you like the kind of jobs they sent, you mail them back/call them up & them you're interested, they then fix up interviews for you. If you do get a job, they get a commission from the Company.

I have found them pretty useful in the past.

Hi all,
i heard many bad reviews about recruit express. Any recruitment agencies to recommend?
