What are the advantages or disadvantages of job haunting through recruitment agency?




Question by sweet rose: What are the advantages or disadvantages of job haunting through recruitment agency?
I’m new to the US and currently looking for an accounting job right now. I’m wondering if which is better – direct hiring or palcement agencies? Anybody can give me an idea please. Thank you and happy new year…

Best answer:

Answer by Howard L
The advantage is that a recruitment agency may know about jobs that are not publicly advertised. The disadvantage is that if a company is hiring direct as well as through an agency they will usually prefer to hire direct rather than pay the agency fee.
