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.

"All placement fees are paid for by the client, rather than the candidate. In my current agency, we charge the client between 18-25% of the candidates' first years' salary. This fee structure means that if the candidate's agreed-upon annual salary is 100K, then our fee would be 18-25K; never paid for by the candidate. I understand that different regions have various fee structures. However, I believe that the hiring company, the client, should always pay the agency's placement fee. No financial burden should fall on the job seeker."
