Comments:
This agency posts ads in online job sites about job positions that don't exist. They post a specific advertisement about an "opportunity" a to entice people to register at their office (it takes a whole afternoon) and then at the end of it all they tell you that they will call you as there is an opening available. When presented with the online ad, their reply was that it was only a recruiting strategy. They were still advertising that job, every single day! I felt cheated and that I just wasted my time with them. I don't think it's right to post job opportunities that don't even exist yet just so they could get you to come to their office to sign up and put you on their database. Don't trust this agency!

Note that all reviews are individual contributions and do not represent the opinion of the site administrator. They have not been independently verified, so there is nothing to stop someone from posting a pack of lies. Some agencies with great reviews may be really bad, and some agencies with bad reviews may be really great. As with everything online, be careful and don't believe everything you read. I take no responsibility for what comes up when you google yourself.
