Private Employment Agencies
Overall, private employment agencies are responsible for approximately 3 to 5 percent of all
hires nationally. If your skills and experience match those fields in which the agency
specializes, you can expect some assistance. For example, a separatee with computing skills
should seek an agency specializing in computer-related placements.
Most private employment agencies are reputable. They possess an extensive list of
employers, and they charge those employers a fee for their services. Before registering with a
private agency, confirm that all fees will be paid by the employer, and not by you.
