I have applied to dozens about dozens of jobs on Indeed.com. Rarely does the job posting not list the city in which the company is located. The employer name is sometimes not listed as a staffing agency is advertising the job. The staffing agency does this so you have to apply through them to apply for the job. That is how the staffing agency makes a living!!

    Sometimes I find comments such as this somewhat insulting if not ignorant. As a staffing agency, of course we run ads. We run ads so that a candidate will respond to us. Why would we list the name of the company so that the candidate would by-pass us and apply directly to the company?? And of course this is how we make a living just like you, the candidate hopes to be presented and hired and that is how you make a living.!!! I never reveal the name of the company unless we are granted by the company an interview.

    you can always google portions of the job description or the title to see if the real company is listing it and then you can apply direct. However some companies WANT employment agencies, as this method allows them to side step the "probationary period" and makes the cost of labor cheaper. In the latter scenario you will probably see the job listed multiple times across different agencies.

    I have such hesitation about staffing agencies. A few weeks ago, I was recruited by one that insisted I was a perfect fit and that they had been hired by the company to fill this role. Turns out... the company had their own ad, plus SEVERAL agencies all listing for the same position, plus recruiters who didn't list the position but were trying to fill it anyway. I have severe doubts that the "agreement" was what it was represented to be, and I feel this shouldn't be allowed. Pick one... either hire directly or use an agency who is allowed to recruit for you... but this playing the field nonsense is disheartening and exhausting.

    I agree, but when you have companies that solely operate through agencies, what are you to do?

    My only frustration are agencies that do not follow-up. The process used to be more useful. Even if you did not get the job they'd work with you on resume pointers, provide feedback, etc. Now a days it seems these agencies are just casting a broad net and not getting back to people who are genuinely interested. I understand this isn't the case for all applicants, but when they express a desire to learn and have marketable skills why won't they work with you?!??!

    Okay. I was in a meeting the other day where the HR/labor person running it said 85% of jobs now are going to friends and family of organization leadership.

    So 85% of jobs are going to nepo hires.

    personally I just had a company put me through 5 rounds of interviews. The hiring manager actually called me to tell me that he wanted to hire me, but he was forced to hire the CEO’s nephew who has no experience.

    That's so sad. No wonder the job market sucks.
