Short Q and A

I get asked questions all the time so I figured why not give you the answers to the most common questions. These answers are relevant to my recruitment company, +The People Link. Each company is different in the procedures and policies.

Q: What is the difference between a recruiter/headhunter and an employment agency?

A: To keep it really simple, a recruitment agency finds employees for their clients and their clients pay them a finders fee. These employees are typically permanent, career positions. There are no other strings attached.

An employment agency is similar to a recruitment company but will tend to fill lower level positions and deal with Temporary and substitute positions along with permanent.

Q: Does it cost me money to use The People Link services?

A: Depends on whether or not you are a job seeker or an employer. For the job seeker, there is no charge ever. For the employer there is a finders fee but there are no upfront costs. In fact you do not pay me for finding you the applicant for your open position until the applicant has been producing for you for 30 days. This way you and the new employee can be sure the match is what you are both looking for and are happy with. 

Q:  Does The People Link hire the applicants?

A: The People Link does not hire the job seeker. There is no contract between the job seeker and The People Link. This is 100% the commitment and responsibility of the employer. The People Link is responsible for matching the applicant with the employer. Once the match is made, the employer puts the employee on their payroll.

Q: Why should I use The People Link services?

A: If you are a job seeker, you will get help with finding a position that fits exactly what you are looking for.

If you are an employer, you will get help with finding the exact person you are looking for.

There are no upfront costs and we do all the work in finding your perfect match.  What have you got to lose?
