Sadly went to that place too and had same experience..didn't pay anything but left really frustrated and sad that people still do that and with a straight face! DISGRACEFUL
Basically, never, ever, for any reason whatsoever pay a recruitment agency any money... at all. They get commission from the company they successfully place a candidate with.
Also, logically, once they have your cash, what's their motivation to do anything more for you?
These people are still trading - just had a call from a mobile inviting me for a job I haven't applied for - I had read this ages ago and just went with the conversation. I don't know where they got my details from?
Shocking - someone is making a fortune!
