Job Search Companies Are They A Waste Of Space?

+Damian Trasler seems to think the one he’s using is. But he wants to know why.

He doesn’t spec­ify the type of jobs he’s look­ing for but in gen­eral I’d say they’re very inef­fec­tive because they’re work­ing in bulk so an indi­vid­ual doesn’t mat­ter that much to them.

The other big fac­tor for many lines of work now is that refer­rals mat­ter above every­thing else. I don’t like net­work­ing, but there’s no doubt that mak­ing lots of con­nec­tions with peo­ple and hav­ing them refer you for a job is vastly more effec­tive than blindly send­ing resumes your­self or hav­ing a job search com­pany send your resume along with 5 oth­ers in the hope it will match a position.

As com­pet­i­tive as the job mar­ket is these days, you need an in with the HR depart­ment who is doing the hiring.
