recruiting agencies- good or bad?
Hi everyone,
I am a graduate engineering student at university but in the next year will hopefully be in the market for a job. I notice that for design and manufacturing jobs with some large aerospace companies such as Airbus you can apply directly to the company or go through one of a number of recruitment agencies. One of our university careers advisors cautioned me to be careful with recruitment agencies as they get their money through placing applicants in a job with the company but not necessarily the right job. Just wondering if anyone out there has used these agencies and whether the experience was particularly good or bad? Any particular pitfalls to watch out for?
cheers in advance
