    You can do that here too, the job of the consultants is to track down people who look like the person the company wants, tries to arrange an interview etc. then gets his comission if the guys gets hired.

          Are yours paid for by the Government? We have "Job Centers" that are the same, free advertising no fees etc, but they are large monolithic things run by the government and aimed more at the lower end of the job market. Technical or skilled positions tend to be specialist recruitment company based.

              He meant to type knickers, as in underpants. Japan has vending machines where you can buy underwear that has supposably been worn by young, good looking, sexually active women, who for reasons known only to themselves decide to not wash and reuse but sell to some company. Sounds great doesn't it.

                No, it should not be paid by you. You have a salary, the company pays you that, on the agreed amount. The company pays the recruiter the fee.

                  Same here, if the company put an advert in the paper, they wouldn't charge a commission.

                        How does the recruiter earn then? I never thought that they did recruiting voluntarily or as a social service :)

                          I'm in the UK and I've never heard of a reputable recruiter / company expecting a percentage fee from an employee for a permanent job. Is the job permanent or is it a contract? Contractors routinely pay a cut of their monthly pay (every month) to the job agency, anywhere from 10% to 50% (depending on who is getting screwed). Permanent staff are recruited with the company paying 10% to 50% of the annual salary to the job agency; often split in two halves - half immediately payable and half payable after a reasonable probationary period.

                            A friend has been contacted by a recruiter for an engineering position. Nice enough salary and an interesting job, he teels me. The problem is that he was told that hiring company pays nothing to the recruiters and that the recruiter's fee was 10% of his paycheck. He asked me if this is normal or too much or what. My first thought was... 10% of the first paycheck? of every paycheck? He said he didn't know but would ask. Indeed, it would make a huge, huge difference. But the truth is that I don't have experience on this so I'm putting the question to you gys. Anyone can give me any information to pass along? He is in Japan and the recruiters are a Japanese company and the job is at a Japanese company (he isn't Japanese), in case it matters.

                            In a previous life I worked as a slave trader recruitment consultant in the UK, so.... Typically when a candidate is placed in a company the recruitment company receives a single one off fee which in my experience the company always pays. This fee depends on any agreements between the company and the recruitment agency and can be anything from 5% to 40% of the starting salary. When I was doing the job the average fee was 17% and we would drop to 10% for companies that regularly used our services. I have to admit I have never come across any recruitment agency that requires the placed candidate to pay a fee, however as this is Japan and I have no experience of this I do not want to stick my neck out and say that your friend has misinterpreted. I would suggest that your friend contacts the recruiter and clarifies the fee structure/responsibilities. If he is required to pay I would also ask if this fee can be paid over an agreed period of time (i.e. via instalments), 10% of your salary is a large amount of money to pay out in one lump some.

                                Job agencies have to be paid by someone - the who depends on if the job is contract or permanent.

                                      It's a permanent position and, yes, I also don't understand why my friend and not the employer has to pay the fee. If it is a Japanese thing... I couldn't say really. I just don't have experience with recruiters anywhere.
