How does a staffing agency like Adecco charge a job seeker for their services?

This may be a trick question! Most staffing agencies in North America never charge job seekers for placement services. For the most part, the fees for placing a job seeker into a new role are the responsibility of the hiring company. In many countries, such as Canada, it is illegal for a recruitment or staffing agency to charge candidates for job placements. These regulations do not include fees for resume writing or career coaching, however. The bottom line is, a job seeker typically never pays money to be considered for an open position with a staffing agency or their clients.
