How Do Recruitment Agencies Like Recruit Express Works?

Borntolive. SG

i was wondering how to how do Recruitment Agencies like Recruit Express works?

is it true that employers look for such agencies to find workers? which means the staff at recruitment agencies will do the actual interview n decide if u r suitable for the job? if lets say i dont like the job suggested bt recuitment agencies can i ask for alternatives?

they trade you like products lo. that's how they work. you sell, they earn.

agencies should be used together with your own job hunting.

so do they actually help the employer to conduct interviews?

do they give a variety of choices of jobs avaialble to me to choose? or do they offer u 1 job n ask if u want or not?

for 1st month u need to pay duno how much to RE....

yes they are also paid by employers but then that amt could've been paid to u as part of ur salary... instead it goes to RE pocket...

Hmm, They will take 20% of ur salary if u signed the employment contract and failed to fulfil the 90days contract terms. If i not wrong, RE also get paid by the company and we need to pay them another 50plus for introduction for the job. They earn our side, earn employer side, so its best of both worlds....

mother-of-pearl SG

cannot edit... its 80% of salary... that means the full month salary tat u taking home(Already minus the CPF factor le)

oh which means i pay 50bucks if i accept the job?

then if i accept the job, n work in the company throughout the contract ,do i still have to pay them? Will my pay be deducted?

mother-of-pearl SG

if u commit 90 days, the company pays RE. Dun affect u... must pay 50plus to RE as intro fees.. stupid idea coz they aready gettting from employer if u kana cfm by the company hiring u...

I got bad exp with them.
