Many people believe that the only way to find jobs is by working on their own, sending out resumes in response to ads. However, working with employment agencies can be a great way to have someone else work toward finding you a job, and at no cost to you!

Employment agencies are for much more than "temps." Indeed, many employment agencies today focus on permanent placements. Employment agencies work by finding employers who are having difficulty filling positions, or employers who simply do not want to commit to hiring a permanent employee without a long probationary period. The employment agency negotiates a salary with the employer and then charges them a commission on top of whatever your hourly rate will be. Your employer for legal purposes will generally be the employment agency, and you will need to submit timesheets regularly in order to be paid. Most employment agencies will also require you to take tests in software such as Microsoft Office, so that they can be assured you will succeed in any assignments you are sent on.

In a down economy, it can take some hard work to find a job, even through an employment agency. The best way to arrange employment is to be in frequent contact with your recruiter, so that you are the first person on his or her mind when a job opening crosses his or her desk. The flipside of having to constantly "stay on" employment agencies, however, is that you are free to work with multiple agencies at the same time, in order to increase your chances of having steady employment. If one agency finds you an assignment, you should still be free to decline assignments from other agencies that may conflict with it.

One thing to know about working with employment agencies is that if an employer you are working with on a temporary basis wants to hire you permanently, they may have to wait for a certain period of time (often a year) or pay an additional fee to the employment agency. However, your job is a truly good fit, your new employer should be happy to oblige!
