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.

If you do get a job, they get a commission from the Company.

I have found them pretty useful in the past.
Hi all,

Seeking job through recruitment agency?

Hi all,

Fresh diploma grad here. I'm currently seeking for a job. Should i approach recruitment agency as i feel that it is easier to find one.

I'm not very sure how recruitment agency works, Do they have any hidden agenda?

Can anyone recommend some better agencies?

Thanks!
