    As a Recruiter for an agency, I found this video to be very beneficial as it clearly outlines some frequently asked questions. Just like any other business, there are good businesses and ones that aren't so good. Do your research and talk to locals to hear out their feedback then - make your own assessment through your personal experiences.

    I swear this is what they mean when they say, “good economy, more jobs!”...an underpaid position with no benefits and to cut incentives for those who can already afford life can definitely boost the upper class economy.

    Temp agencies are not good in the sense of the companies that use them. The companies use a temp agency for a reason. Because they only want temps. In other words, very few will actually be hired on. Who gets hired? Well, 99% of the time, it's who's popular. That is true. And if you are not someone who fits in (meaning, you are basically Bff's with the management and/or supervisors), then it is likely you will be fired. Aka, laid off. Please aim higher than that. Go directly to the employer, not through a temp agency. They are good for a moment for a couple or a few paychecks. But that's it. Then it's time to go.

    😂 in Germany, the extra hours outside of your contract = Time account, pay incentives are delayed until you swop out the 120+ hours saved, Stail hours, and yes they make money on interest, you could have made, and tell you to go home for a while come back and start over

    Worked for a Temp agency with a Micro processer company, worst idea ever. They say the agency is there to make sure you're good enough for the company to hire you, but it never happens. Not, even me just being a bitter loser, I've only known 2 people who became company hires, and it was after almost a decade of working for the agency. The agency prostitutes you to the company at a much lower wage than the company hires for the same work and responsibilities, with no benefits. It is essentially a way to circumvent from having to give you 401k benefits, healthcare, and severance packages. Total scam, avoid them at all costs unless it is your first job and you're a young kid trying to build job experience, like mine was.
