Hi guys,
A friend of mine is running a business that helps job-seekers get their desired jobs. To me personally it seemed like an interesting concept and decided to share it here with you to see what others think of it.
I am not going to go too much into detail, but what he does is this:
Suppose you apply to a Deli Assistant job position in your local area. You get the call from the company that promises to get that job for you within few days, but within four weeks of your employment commencement you are required to pay your single week's wage to the company for helping you get that job. Also, you will be given four weeks to work in a company to see if the position is good fit for you - if not, you are free to leave and won't be liable for any service fees.
To me personally it seemed like a convenient solution, because I know how time consuming editing CVs for each job position, preparing for interviews, commuting to different interviews and so on is. Not to mention the fact that most people feel discouraged when turned down after an interview. I would gladly pay that fee, especially considering the fact that I would be given four weeks to see if I really like the position and staff I will be working with.
I know some of you may say it's a form of slavery, it's not fair charging people, he should follow typical recruitment model and charge companies (I hope you realize some recruitment companies take money off your hourly pay when you work through them and it usually amounts to thousands of lost euros per annum for an employee who works through such agencies) and so on. But IMO he does provide a convenient solution to a job-seeker, a solution that 100% guarantees a job and doesn't give false hopes as typical recruiters do.
The reason why I am sharing this is because this guy is one of my best friends. He is honest guy who wants to help people and of course make some money on the side in order to survive.
What are your thoughts on this?
