What are the benefits of getting a job through a recruiting agency vs inquiring the employer directly?

by admin on June 29, 2009

kerfuffly asked:


I recently saw a job posted on both the employer’s website and recruiting agencies’. While the agencies were trying to be employer anonymous, the job description there matches the employers’, so I have no doubt that they were refering the same position. Should I apply to the employer directly or talk to the recruiting agency (s)?

Most direct positions will pay you salary…no paid overtime
Most Contract angencies will pay you hourly …paid overtime

Then when company wants to hire you direct from contract, you can negotiate loss of overtime hours in your new salary pay.

The recruiter you have gotten it.
An agreement that would never have to the cost of using the cost of using the job talked me that said job directly with the company and convinced both the job held for the job held for the job.
