Employment Crossing - Scam - BEWARE

Stay away from these guys!. Signed up for 7-day trial, then selected 30 days to try a little longer ($30). Got a bill for $72.50 - somehow got changed to 3 months.

Called to dispute (routed to India) and they argued that's what I selected - which I did not. They would not fix - finally said they would fix it only if I signed up for another account!!! Fat chance!

Also, my bank would not correct unless I had an email receipt (which I never got).

Also, try cancelling your account in your account section - you can't, you must call. And they won't prorate.

Also refused to let me speak to a supervisor.

They are bad all the way around - lots of polices that are to their advantage and screw the customer.

It's pretty cold for them to victimize people that need work.

Shame on you Employment Crossing!

Stay away from them and all Marketing, Sales, etc Crossings.

Re: Employment Crossing - Scam - BEWARE

Had a look at the site, it pops up a screen demanding your email & you can't get any further. Sometmes sites just have that "scam" look about them, sure looks like one to me. Thanks for the warning

Re: Employment Crossing - Scam - BEWARE

I fell for this months ago and was STILL paying. I finally had a free weekday off to call and cancel. Here's what I learned.

Do not call the number they post everywhere. I was on hold for over twenty minutes and gave up. Call THIS number, which is their direct line: 646-243-1885.

Ask them to:

1) Terminate your account. (If you signed up through PayPal, the person I spoke with said you can their service through PayPal as well.)

2) Remove yourself from ALL future emails from EmploymentCrossing: promotional and job alerts.

Don't fall for any of the Employment Crossing websites!

Re: Employment Crossing - Scam - BEWARE

Hmmm.. That's interesting I did it all with no problems. EmploymentCrossing is not a scam as far as i have seen. It all worked out for me. I am not sure what happened with you guys, maybe something was done incorrectly? I would suggest trying again. Maybe something was going on wrong with the site when you guys were trying to get it all straight. Things should work properly.

Re: Employment Crossing - Scam - BEWARE

I actually used this website and had a completely different experience. In contrast to the negative outcomes some people have had, I was actually able to find job help and assistance from this site. It seemed to be very user friendly and I was easily able to navigate my way around. EmploymentCrossing is not a scam. If it was, I would not have had such a success in job searching. And not only is it not a scam, EmploymentCrossing works. I mean it really works, and I would choose Employment crossing again and again for all my employment needs. I have recommended this website to friends in hope that they will be able to find a job, or better yet, find a better job. I wanted to post this so that other people would see what I saw in this great web site. I wanted to clear the confusion that might have happened to some of the other bloggers. I mean the website is run by people that are trying to help people in this hard economy. Jobs are becoming harder and harder to find and it is awesome to have resource like this website to help people in their time of need.

Re: Employment Crossing - Scam - BEWARE

Gee, two postings in one day, both of which extol the easy use and non scamminess of the site. And what's more, they both have generic names with strings of numbers at the end.

If I didn't already believe the site was a scam before, I certainly would now thanks to these fine trolls from employment crossing.

Re: Employment Crossing - Scam - BEWARE

yeah something is fishing about two praises from generic names in one day. Also, it their first post ever on scam.com. I would have to say that this site is a scam.

However, what is the site url because the one I went to didn't have a popup. I could have went to the wrong page though.

Re: Employment Crossing - Scam - BEWARE

I found this site and it screamed SCAM to me.

So I came here.

And yes, this does look like a very obvious scam site. I'd recommend everyone avoid it.

I checked out their Project Management portal and it had a pitiful number of jobs advertised - far less than what you can trawl through the top ten job sites.

Crooks.

Re: Employment Crossing - Scam - BEWARE

I have found a few of these sites and they request payment to see "preferred job listings." I thought it was odd, but...

If you go to Monster.com these days you will see that they are now allowing AVON to post jobs. Now, allowing Direct Sales/MLM on a job board brings about a serious question of financial stability in my mind. Are jobs really so scarce that Monster is allowing MLM on board?

But looking at these companies, I started to think perhaps it makes sense. For one, employers are being bombarded by applicants. Weeding through them is a nightmare. One job posting could equate to thousands of applicants - and they had to pay a hefty price to post that job on a public job board. Essentially it isn't working for them.

With the saturation of unemployed applicants, using a staffing agency is an option - but again, putting a pretty high price on the employer to pay to find a qualified applicant when they are out there in droves.

A solution...? Put the burden on the applicants. This will effectively weed through those that are not serious enough to pay a little fee for work and reduce the burden on applications to the employer.

I don't know if these are legit or not, I haven't done any research. But in looking at the situation right now - these types of sites make sense.

Before the .com boom, most staffing agencies charged fees to the applicant - not the company. When we hit a time when there were more jobs than applicants, the tides turned to put the fees on the companies.

Perhaps this is just a shift reflecting the current economy???

Re: Employment Crossing - Scam - BEWARE

P.S. to the above post...

The one major question is WHERE ARE THEY GETTING THESE JOBS FROM?

If they are merely peeling them from other public posting boards and not working WITH the employers who have these jobs... it would be senseless to PAY for such a service because it does not solve any of the above dilemmas for the employer or employee.

Re: Employment Crossing - Scam - BEWARE

PPS... to the above, above post. (LOL!)

It seems as if employment crossing "IS" getting their jobs from job boards that are not affiliated with them.

Thus, I personally do not recommend paying for this.

Re: Employment Crossing - Scam - BEWARE

Great insights from the previous postings (except the posts obviously from EC themselves!). Guys, next time you try to defend your lowly company, say at least one thing negative so it's not so obvious. My final comment to you crooks: Shame on you for taking advantage of folks in their time of need.

A follow-up to my original post: I also reported these con artists to the BBB the same time I reported it here. A couple of months later, someone at a local LA TV station must have seen it. They called me and wanted to come to my house and interview me about my bad experience w/ Employment Crossing. The gal said they had several people lined up that had also been ripped off and they were doing a feature on these guys. I declined to be interviewed, not wanting that much public exposure. Not sure when/if the feature aired. I subscribe to the "what goes around comes around" theory.

Pardon the silly little question, but what is a "chooable" job?





I was about ready to use this site for job searches until I saw this thread. I'm just recovering from an automobile scam and am not looking forward to another.

It's unbelievable how other people are more likely to take advantage in these difficult times.

Re: Employment Crossing -

To all:

Think about the way in which you learned of EC. Did you seek them out, or the reverse...? If you were contacted first, ask yourself, "why?". Do you think they have some altruistic intent? If so, you're their kind of customer: gullible.

Unlike legitimate job search companies that advertise through Google, etc, the EC's of the world live parasitically on the advertising dollars of legitimate companies...and, by seducing desperate job seekers with evocative promises.

A healthy skepticism is needed when trying to discern the earnest, entrepreneurial online company from cyber-vampires like EC.

It is EASY to be scammed once or twice. Learn from it, get the hell out as swiftly as possible, and move on.

Re: Employment Crossing - Scam - BEWARE

I disagree with most of the very negative and untrue posts here. I think if some of you tried using the EmploymentCrossing web site you would see that it not only works, it works very very well. The site is not a scam at all, it works much better and faster than most of the other job sites you find online. I have actually used the EmploymentCrossing web site and personally found that it was a pleasant experience. The EmploymentCrossing site is a very easy web site to navigate through and use. It can be a very helpful tool in finding a job.I personally didn't experience any problems or difficulties whatsoever while using the web site. I had a good experience with EmploymentCrossing. I was very sucessful using EmploymentCrossing and I think that everyone should try using it for the best job searching experience on the web. I would definately use EmploymentCrossing again in the future without hesitating. This website has created job opportunity to fresher and experienced job seeker. EmploymentCrossing is the place to go if you want to find a job quickly and efficiently. It takes mere seconds to produce the job listings you are searching for. Look no farther than EmploymentCrossing for the perfect job is waiting right there for you. I would very gladly reccomend it to my friends or anyone looking for a job.

Re: Employment Crossing - Scam - BEWARE

Can't believe this thread is still going. Employment Crossing hasn't done anything to clean up their act, except perhaps hire a "social marketing guru" to try and update these threads.

Still a scam!

Re: Employment Crossing - Scam - BEWARE

Rule one of looking for a job online or in RL is that you, the job-seeker, don't have to pay anyone. If someone tries to get you to pay anything upfront, it's either a company with dubious ethics and shoddy practices or an outright scam.

Re: Employment Crossing - Scam - BEWARE

Employment Crossing is an enterprise of one Andrew Harrison Barnes. Previously, he was the operator of BCG Attorney Search, and some other legal-related entities.

Although Employment Crossing is located in Pasadena, Calif., its corporate domicile is Nevada, where its registered agent (Barnes) lists a Las Vegas address that appears to be on the 40th floor of a fairly new high-rise apartment building. (Barnes is, in fact, the sole officer of the company, according to the Nevada corporate records.)

For some detailed complaints or allegations against Barnes and his businesses, just do an Internet search for the exact phrase "Andrew Harrison Barnes" or "BCG Attorney Search."

Re: Employment Crossing - Scam - BEWARE

This post is from a scammer in Bangladesh. - MOD

Employment Crossing.... A Scam !!! This statement is completely FALSE AND STUPID. In fact Who ever Created this thread is just trying to confuse people About Employment Crossing (probably for some cheap money)

Hello everyone.... This is Brian from NY. I was actually looking for some new reviews about Employment Crossing and I bumped into this!!!!

I graduated in Business Administration from Clarkson University (09). I was looking for a job online and found out about Employment Crossing.com. I instantly became a member. And within two weeks I found myself working in a Business Service company at New York-Hauppauge. Now I'm getting $120k. Most of my friends that I suggested to about Employment Crossing has already got a job. Well that's my story.................................
But I'm feeling really disappointed to see a thread like this on scam.com.
The truth is that Employment Crossing is just trying to help people to get the information about every job available around the globe and also giving them a nice opportunity to quickly apply. They collect job information from about every job-boards that exists, Employee sites and Direct from the companies.
And for this effort they have the right to charge 5 times more then they are charging now. And according to my knowledge and thousand others..... Employment Crossing have an excellent customer service track record.

So please guys... do the nation a favor Don't spread rumors like this without having the full knowledge about Employment Crossing. Because you just might be pushing away people that direly need jobs from an excellent career opportunity.

Brian Riggs.....

Re: Employment Crossing - Scam - BEWARE

Well, Brian Riggs, I must admit Employment Crossing (scam) is doing a nice, shady job addressing it's social media bad reputation because this thread is full of comments from their own stake holders - and I would guess you are one of them. It's obvious when you guys use words like "lies" and "rumors". They are facts. And it is a fact that an LA TV station contacted many people (myself included) to do an expose on their terrible business practices.

Funny thing is if they would have just let this thread (which I started) die, they would have much less exposure of their BAD BUSINESS PRACTICES. But they try to defend bad practice instead of making it right with customers they have ripped off. All of us who have had BAD EXPERIENCES with them will keep replying with words like "total crooks". The victims on this thread too can play the google hits game with key words as shown in bold.

So, if you got a job with them great, but keep in mind they have ripped off many people in need. What goes around comes around, and I hope EC keeps playing this reply game because people will see their true shadiness first hand.

If I have warned just a few people and have prevented just a few dollars from reaching EC's greedy little hands, then all of this expended ****** is worth it.

Merry Christmas Brian Riggs!

Why would you even care about looking into this 'company' after the fact since you already signed up and think it's so great?

Yes, you do need to stop spreading rumors like the one stating that you signed up for this.

Re: Employment Crossing - Scam - BEWARE

The following is post is from a scammer in India - MOD

Employment Crossing is a webpage that houses a comprehensive database filled with active job openings from all over the world. Though there are enough sites, which provide job offers of any categorized jobs but through search I have found this website just great and is [link removed by mod] in many aspects. They offer specifically the particular requirement of yours starting from scratch to your ultimate goal. EmploymentCrossing attempts to help individuals find decent jobs by compiling a large database filled with the country's job listings.

[link removed by mod] locates jobs inside your niche, conducting a more streamlined job search. Each day over 30 people tell that they have found their dream job on EmploymentCrossing. This is the only job-opening research institution in the world whose mission is to track down every job opening through research. If you are a job seeker with a specific industry interest, EmploymentCrossing provides instant access to a comprehensive pool of listings based on your particular area of focus. Unlike other job search and career sites, [link removed by mod] weeds out spam and jobs outside your niche, allowing you to search efficiently and specifically. Trust the only job source that is tailored to your industry. It is time to take action and take control of your career and job search. There is no better way to take control of your career than by knowing about every job opening.

Re: Employment Crossing - Scam - BEWARE

I completely agree. These guys are big time cheats. I did not even know I was being charged $39.00 a month, month after month. There was not even initial acknowledgement that the account got activated and credit card was being charged. For all the money, the only mail I got was when I finally cancelled the deal. Go to Execunet or sales Ladders. One of them even gave me benefit of free refund of one month when I forgot to cancel.
They are good professionals in serious business of serving customers. Employment crossing is no different from a vulture in this case making money fraudulently exploiting the pressures of unemployment of customers.

EmploymentCrossing is not a Scam

The following post is by a scammer from Bangladesh - MOD

Employment Crossing is definitely not a scam site.I have been their member since 5 months and I have no problem with them.I think they are the best job site I have ever register.I don't know why you are posting lies on scam forum.They are definitely not a scam.You must research before posting anything wrong about somebody.They also never except any advertisement from any unauthorised person.They only accept what is legal and they also provide tips which can be used to get very better jobs than you have ever imagine.I recently got a job from their site.The job is very legal and have very high salary.Please remove this thread.YOU ARE MAKING THEM SCAM.My friends and family also have no problem with the sites because they are simple the best.They site is found by a millionaire from USA.

Complaints against EmploymentCrossing appear to be highly exaggerated. While it is quite possible for a few persons to have some grievances against such a broad based job search site, going over the top in criticism and call it a scam site is totally uncalled for. There are scores of people who have benefited from this site and its subsidiaries as attested to by numerous favorable reviews appearing from time to time.

As a career consultant I have recommended [link removed by mod] to many of my clients and they have been able to find their desired jobs through this site with minimum of effort. I have carried out a close and critical study of many job search sites. In my informed opinion a good job search site carries out a regular and extensive research to compile and refresh job openings not only from employer web sites but from all available sources out there. Judging by these parameters, EmploymentCrossing fits the bill nicely. It has vast resources of extensively researched job openings in every field under the sun. From my own studies and also the good experience of my clients, I can vouch for the fact that EmploymentCrossing works and works effectively for all strata of job seekers. In no way it can be called a scam site.

Re: Employment Crossing - Scam - BEWARE

So..."Job Guru", did you get your "nickel"? Or maybe it's you Harrison? See below:

Many of the names of the individuals making positive comments about Harrison Barnes are false names and aliases and in fact posted by Barnes himself. In fact, many of the names of the so-called “employees” or “representatives” of Barnes’ companies are made up. They are, in fact, Barnes himself. Andrew Harris Barnes is low class and low rent. He has created a sophisticated facade of himself on the internet by using aliases to pretend he has so many employees and properties and business locations. The truth is that Barnes uses answering services in almost every city in which he claims to do business. He owns little to no property. Even the buildings placed on his websites can be found in stock photo images of buildings or are addresses to buildings which he does not own and holds no leases. Didn’t I tell you he was prolific?
The ShortTask website is not worth using because:
1. When you post an endorsement of a website you have not used, you are lying and may be opening yourself to legal liability to complicity to Barnes’ fraud;
2. The amount of money you are offered amounts to pennies (5 cents per posting in most cases), which means you will literally have to spend hours on the internet posting false advertisements for this scoundrel scam artist before you make any appreciable money.
3. You don’t get paid a dime until you accumulate $50. The amount of time you will have to spend on the internet posting false endorsements before you get a check is astronomical. You could make better money begging for nickels outside of your local Kroger. Plus that would carry less criminal liability.
A. Harrison Barnes has been reported to federal and state authorities including the IRS and FBI. Since government agencies are notoriously slow and damn near non-existent when it comes to policing the internet, it is up to me, American Maestro and fellow bloggers to get the word out about scammers like Barnes. WE are the internet police.
A. Harrison Barnes has even fooled the media into believing he is legit. Everyone know the media is no longer what it used to be and is just looking for A story to report regardless of whether it is actually true or not. The website was listed by the G4 cable channel recently as a good way to make money. Undoubtedly, whoever produced that segment was woefully negligent in researching it and its founder.
In sum, stay away from A. Harrison Barnes, don’t use ShortTask.com and watch out for the following other scam websites owned by Barnes:
AccountingCrossing.com
AdvertisementJournal.com
aharrisonbarnes.com
AttorneyResearchGroup.com
AttorneyResume.com
BCGSearch.com

Re: Employment Crossing - Scam - BEWARE

Thank you all for your help, I was close to trying them out. I guess it's a good thing for that I always research things first. I searched this co-called internet service and found bad reviews on five different site on one which give them good reviews. I'm more sure now at least for me that this is a scam, I can't state this as fact because I've never have and never will use them. My only advise is, do your research, because I smell a rat.

Re: Employment Crossing - Scam - BEWARE

The following post is by a scammer from India - MOD

This is a wrong post i dont agree with this post. EmploymentCrossing is not a Scam site because when i am searching for jobs i found this site and got employment from this site and now am well settled by this site. not only me i had referred many members to this site and i never heard any complaint from them too. EmploymentCrossing really works they provide 1000;s of jobs daily for many people. what is the need to scam people. really employment crossing is a very reputed site. they never scam people and break their reputation.

I would recommend EmploymentCrossing to a great extent because recently my friend living in newyork has hired in a reputed company using employmentcrossing and refered many people. this chain is going on continuing and never breaking. imagine how long the chain is. if this is a scam site why our chain lasts for a long time .

you can get many positive reviews about employment crossing by doing a simple google search , many great members are reviewing this site and posting it in many webpages, major news publications all over the world.

some people are simply spoiling their reputation without any proofs. show a legal proof to people and raise your voice.

Also refused to let me speak to a supervisor.

They are bad all the way around - lots of polices that are to their advantage and screw the customer.

It's pretty cold for them to victimize people that need work.

Shame on you Employment Crossing!

Stay away from them and all Marketing, Sales, etc Crossings.

Re: Employment Crossing - Scam - BEWARE

I used Hound.com last year. This is another Harrison Barnes job-search website. They pull the jobs from hiring companies' websites. The listing I followed up on were all legit. The service was well laid out and easy to use. HOWEVER, when it can time to discontinue my subscription, Hound.com made it difficult. I had missed the fine-print that said that I had to call them. The number is located only in the terms of the contract - no contact info anywhere else on the website. When I finally found the number, I had to wait on hold for over 5 minutes.

Contrast this behavior with that from Ladders.com. I had a subscription with that job-search site and it was easy to cancel it.

I would describe Hound.com as a company that offers a real service but has questionable business ethics.

Ha...Ha....a good joke!!!!

The following post is by a scammer from India - MOD

EmploymentCrossing is the search engine that displays its all members jobs from various employer website from all over the world. This is the greatest site that I came across in search of job opportunities. I could find a variety of postings of job from different fields that one be part of like one can find any retail jobs, sales jobs, finance jobs, engineering jobs, legal jobs, human resources jobs and so on. This is the site giving the easiest method to approach the job provider as soon as one signs in. From my experience what I feel is that this is the only trusted site by millions and millions of people in their day-to-day job search making their own success stories meeting their requirements. Friends, never forget to visit [link removed by mod]for your job search.

[link removed by mod]one can find any retail jobs, sales jobs, finance jobs, engineering jobs, legal jobs, human resources jobs and so on. Th ere are umpteen mostly trusted job providers being part of the [link removed by mod]. This is the site made my both ends to meet together by getting to know about the job varieties and I am earning for my daily bread only with EmploymentCrossing’s help. Absolutely EmploymentCrossing is not a Scam. It really works.

I am much grateful to this site. It is very much easier unlike any other employer website such that we can search through keywords, preferred location, trusted organizations and so forth.

The most liked part of this site is that it is being updated every now and then so one can get the details regarding his/her preferred job as soon as it is being released. Special thanks to [link removed by mod]for achieving this feat.

Thank you No_Moron_Here(and all the other honest Posters) for exposing the obvious scam websites and fake postings. I use this website(in particular this thread) to educate my 3 kids on the evils of the Internet. They get a great head start on spotting these con artists and I get peace of mind. Great job everyone-thanks again.

Nothing on reverse lookup.
Nothing in BBB.
Googling 2nd number makes a connection to a townhome complex in Severna Park, MD, specializing in "Commercial and industrial" clients - in other words, short-term living quarters for employees away from home long enough to need an apartment, but too long to justify hotel rates, and small businesses looking for a cheap, short-term mailing address, that is not a PO box.
Toss us a name to go with these numbers, needhelp, and maybe someone here can turn something up.
But don't ask us to call a toll-free number blindly: Not all toll-free calls are free. http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/cons...ing/tel14.shtm

Re: Employment Crossing - Scam - BEWARE

Jobs? I think everyone need to do some jobs in order to fulfill their needs. With jobs we can earn money and make living. But finding a good and quality jobs are very difficult. Like me, i was jobless for about 4 months since i was graduated from college. I ever worked as marketing at some oil company, but it didn't work well because i didn't enjoy working as a marketing, so i decided to quit and started to find another jobs.

Started December, 3 months ago when i browsing the internet and searching for jobs opportunity in real world, i found out a really interesting job site named EmploymentCrossing. After i browse some and knowing more about that site, i realize that working is not just to make a monthly paycheck, but for a better career so our future will be brighter. With that i signed up at that site right away, i was guided about what i was like on jobs, and what type of jobs i wanted. Then within 3 days i was called for an interview. The interview was smooth and i was hired as HR Officer at some local company. Finally I Got a Job on EmploymentCrossing that really change the way i see about jobs.

Re: Employment Crossing - Scam - BEWARE

May be he got problem but based on that don't tell It's scam. I assured you EmploymentCrossing is not scam. Because my friend got job through EmploymentCrossing website. It is the best place to search jobs. It not only shows jobs inside the USA but also shows jobs in outside USA. It is the good interface between employers and employees. It helps to save our precious time in searching jobs. It gives the exact details about jobs. So we can contact them directly. Its really better that naukri.com. I am a college student. It shows thousands of part time jobs. It helps lot to me. I suggest every one to visit this site and grab your job opportunities. If anyone having doubts on this site. Then you are welcome to contact me. It is better than other job sites. Here you can see lot of jobs. It also shows part time jobs. It is good for students those whose who are seeking part time jobs.

Re: Employment Crossing - Scam - BEWARE

Employmentcrossing.com is the largest Job board in the U.S. where you can search Jobs by career field, location, and company. EmploymentCrossing is a career research institution that helps job-seekers find gainful employment. They maintain a database that is home to over 2 million researched career openings, including information from each and every Fortune 500 and Fortune 1000 company. There are lots of new job openings at there. This is a site that is used among many of the most accomplished people in the world to find jobs. When you go to EmploymentCrossing, you can find every job in the market.

Since the Internet was created, job-seekers have been trying to simplify their search by way of instant communication and centralizing massive amounts of information at one website. EmploymentCrossing capitalizes on this desire for instant information on behalf of those seeking employment, helping them to find, and secure, a good career. Job boards charge fees for placement of a listing, but EmploymentCrossing does not want to skew the selection of job listings towards larger industries. EmploymentCrossing.com shows new jobs very quickly from tens of thousands of employer websites and job boards and that having access to every new job in the market is a very effective strategy for searching for a job. Few of my friends got a job through EmploymentCrossing within a month of joining. They have a large database of clients and jobs which even don’t get advertised over the web. In fact, this is the only site which maintains very comprehensive database for each and every kind of jobs.

As per my Opinion “EmploymentCrossing is not a Scam'' EmploymentCrossing.com is one best job search in USA as well as round the world. using this site any one can find the best jobs.This site not only job search engine it also a guide line for any jobs seekers. Using this I find my best jobs.

Re: Employment Crossing - Scam - BEWARE

Candidates shld NEVER pay to have someone find work for them. My Dad TOLD me that several times long ago. The EMPLOYER pays to find candidates. (but I went ahead and tried this-mistake). This co. "owner" probably doesnt exist-as the CS people cant give me that #, and tell me to look on the website (no other contact info but the CS #...) This scam co. continued to auto-bill my credit card $39.99/mo!-I never authorized.
Nothing in the promo email (+ any other pages I kept) note on-going billing. The India Call Ctr(Cust Service)-talk over me, dont help, no refund=SCAM) Most "real" companies want to help (for continued biz) I wrote Atty General, BBB, etc - disputed w/cr card co. Complain!
These promo emails do not state anywhere (on any pages) there will be continued billing.

But looking at these companies, I started to think perhaps it makes sense. For one, employers are being bombarded by applicants. Weeding through them is a nightmare. One job posting could equate to thousands of applicants - and they had to pay a hefty price to post that job on a public job board. Essentially it isn't working for them.

With the saturation of unemployed applicants, using a staffing agency is an option - but again, putting a pretty high price on the employer to pay to find a qualified applicant when they are out there in droves.

A solution...? Put the burden on the applicants. This will effectively weed through those that are not serious enough to pay a little fee for work and reduce the burden on applications to the employer.

I don't know if these are legit or not, I haven't done any research. But in looking at the situation right now - these types of sites make sense.

Before the .com boom, most staffing agencies charged fees to the applicant - not the company. When we hit a time when there were more jobs than applicants, the tides turned to put the fees on the companies.

Perhaps this is just a shift reflecting the current economy???
