wage skimming is when you go to a employment agency and they charge you so much for the first 6 months for them to help you get a job. # The Iron Chef star is accused of siphoning tips and paying waitstaff below minimum wage. # Waiter Sues Thirty Restaurants for Overtime, Unpaid Wages, Tip Skimming, Sex Harassment, etc # Worse, flat wages won't stop flat wages, skimming # Employment scams, also known as job scams, are a form of advance fee fraud Side: yes

I'd rather hire someone I didn't know that had relevant experience and/or a willingness to learn, than a friend/relative of a friend. The former is a new working relationship that you build together, whereas the latter is potentially a can of worms. Granted, that's not a foregone conclusion, but I'd rather be dealing with someone on my own terms rather than having to temper my decisions for the sake of friend/family politics. Getting bribed to give someone a job?!? That's a new one on me! =) Side: No

Here's help on protecting yourself from job scams - see the link for the info. The FTC urges job seekers to be aware of the red flags that may signal a job scam: * If firm wants you to pay for placing you with a company - truth is, they’re only selling information about looking for a job—information that’s generally available for free. Side: No
No you need to know what you are looking for, how to look for it and remember that if you have to pay to find a job then you are being scammed. No job agency should be requesting payment for something they are paid to help you do anyway. I personally wouldn't pay anyone to get me a job. As the lead Job recruiter in my job I get offered money to get people in but thats not how I like to run things. Side: No
