Placements franchise in India are budding and growing
significantly as observed in the present scenario. In all walks of life, there are good agencies
and there are bad agencies, and it can be difficult even for industry veterans
to tell them apart at first you should also use Google to find out what other
people have recently said about the agency. If you’re not happy with what you
find, there are usually other agencies out there advertising the same role or
similar ones. Latest trends has paved path for the growth and prosperity of job consultancy franchise.
The one
exception to the rule is when an agency has an exclusive contract with an
employer. In this situation, the employer has decided to use a single agency
for all recruitment, and all applications have to be submitted
via that agency. If this is the case, you should be able to confirm this from
the employer’s website, or by telephoning the employer.
From an
employer’s point of view, employers generally do not like agencies which send
them unsolicited or inappropriate applications (known as ‘wallpapering CVs’).
Once an agency has done this with your CV, it can be very difficult for you to
get those employers to look at your CV, because the employer hasn’t agreed
payment terms with the agency, and doesn’t want the hassle of an aggressive
agency trying to invoice for money that the employer hasn’t agreed to pay. Recruitment franchise in Mumbai, Delhi and other fast-paced metro cities is a
prosperous business which has resulted in best in class services even in remote
areas.
My
advice is to deal with any agency on an advert-by-advert basis, keeping track
of which firms you have applied to through which agency. Always ask the agency
if they are a ‘preferred supplier’ for the employer you are applying to (and
ask them via email to make sure you’ve got a record of their answer).
If the
agency is a preferred supplier, that means that they have already agreed
payment terms with the employer, and the employer will consider your
application. You should also phone or email the employer directly to check that
the agency is indeed a preferred supplier before you apply, just in case the
agency is not being honest with you.
If the
agency is not a preferred supplier, then one of three things usually happens:
1. The employer and agency agree payment
terms, and the employer will consider your application.
2. The employer considers your
application anyway, but does not agree to pay anything to the agency.
3. The employer decides that dealing
with the agency is too much hassle, and will not consider your application.
You’ve
no way of knowing what will happen in this situation, as it can often come down
to a personality clash as much as financial terms. You’re better off avoiding
this situation if you can, and avoiding any agency you ever catch lying about
their preferred supplier status.
Recruitment
agencies get paid by the employer for every candidate they put forward who
successfully gets a job with the employer. Some agencies get paid on a
fixed-fee basis, and some agencies get paid a fee based on your starting
salary.
You
don’t have to pay them at all, and you should never use any recruitment
agency who asks you for any payment.
Placement
franchise in India is very common now days as it requires lesser capital
investment as compared to other options. The role of recruitment agencies in
contract placements is a little different. Here, the agency normally gets a
percentage (known as the agency’s rate) of the money that the employer’s firm
pays for your services. This is normally done by the firm paying the agency,
and by you sending invoices to the agency; i.e. you don’t bill the firm
directly. It’s always worth finding out what the agency’s rate is, just to make
sure that you don’t get ripped off at all.
Recruitment franchises in Mumbai are very popular as they provide
overall business growth and helps in building a better trust factor with the
clients as well as with the candidates.
It used
to be almost unheard of for someone to go contracting early in their career,
but this is slowly changing. For now, advice about contracting is beyond the
scope of this book, but if the industry changes in the future, I’ll do my best
to provide advice in a future edition. For more details visit the website: www.ehc.co.in
