I guess if you get a job than you have to pay your hh, not the opposite.Ty Cuch

If a HH asks you for money, run!

QuoteOriginally posted by: PanoramixI guess if you get a job than you have to pay your hh, not the opposite.Not even this is true, except in an indirect sense. If employed, the company will pay the recruiter a commission. The terms and the size of that commission is not something employees concern themselves with. Employees discuss salary issues with the recruiter. Those salary figures are your salary and your salary alone, and are independent of the recruitment commission. For example, if a recruiter says "This position will pay 50,000 pounds." Then that means that, before tax, you should expect at least 50,000. The company will worry about paying the recruiter because it's the company that pays the recruiter, not you.CommodityQuant

I guess if you get a job than you have to pay your hh, not the opposite.Ty CuchIn my day, it was "no cure , no pay".The other posts make the situation clear for the current environment.

It is specifically illegal for recruiters in Britain to charge you to find them a job.Also their CV preparation pitch is clearly a scam. A decent headhunter will help you rewrite it. I have done probably done a couple of thousand partly because I'm a nice guy , but also because the exercise of upgrading a CV is a good discipline to make sure I've understood it and talked to the candidate about it.Sometimes I get bought a lunch or beer, but certainly never 150 quid.The message is full of doubletalk and bullshit, does anyone believe that "sectorizational issues" exist ?For the avoidance of doubt, recruiters get paid by the new employer, the terms can sometimes be complex, but frankly that's not your problem.I guess the current job market conditions has made lowlife like this crawl out from under whatever rock they used to live.

I know it may seem a silly question, but what could be said a good HH...i mean...is there any ranking as for top banks (exclusive of all the HH in this forum)?Thanks everyone.Pano

It seems HHs are desperate for business... I wouldn't rely on them if I were looking for a job.

This is the kind of text that lawyers relish £75.99 sounds like a high-street shop

QuoteOriginally posted by: sheepskiCould people pls pls start naming dodgy HHs? One of the reasons why they are getting away with this is because they don't lose anything by starting these scams...Heard on the news that the French President received a threatening mail with one 9mm bullet in it. Why not make those dodgy HHs feel like presidents too? It would be really funny...

If you have a good resume, I bet the privilege of adding your resume to a top shelf HH database is gotta be worth $399 -- to the HH.Thus, I advise requiring an HH pay YOU before you allow him to help you find a job.

LOL there is a pigeon in your bank account sir, we need your account number to clean the monies.if you're even considering that this might be legit i've got a bridge you might be interested in buying.
