To make it nice and short: Any organisation who asks any candidate, be it for entry level or executive jobs, to pay a fee for "additional" service, rest assure they are scammers or the least to say unprofessional with their service.
Why on earth an organisation wan to take money from a person who is looking for a job instead of the employer?!!! The answer simply is because they are SCAMMERS and have nothing better to do.
I live in Australia and currently I’m on a visit visa in Dubai and man, I see most if not all of the agencies asking for job seekers to pay money for a service is a complete patheitic and requires everyone of us to educate others NEVER PAY A PENNY to these agencies who are nothing but a bunch of losers.
This never happens in Australia and if it does, they will be in jail in no time.
What usually happens is once the job seeker gets employed, then and only then the agency will get some form of fee from the EMPLOYER not the EMPLOYEE.
I hope that this message gets to everyone before they fall prey to these idiots who have nothing better to do in their life than to steal money from job seekers.
