Nope..it's not illegal. They get away with it because supposedly they are providing a service. Lots of companies do this...but they are shady companies that you don't want to get involved with. Just watch the want ads, and go door to door and ask for a job before going to them.

Not illegal...but not a smart move...NEVER pay up front.

its not illegal but its a scam.they may have clients who pay them to do their recruiting. then you pay them. they get paid twice. most people run adds in the paper or have job fairs. usually the jobs that these headhunters [that's what there called] have are executive jobs. not blue collar or entry level. jobs are hard to come by right now why would a companies want to limit exposure? ps if they are one of those civil service jobs like the post office they are definitely a scam. you can get those jobs yourself online. most websites have a employment option on their menu.

Never go back there! Sounds like a scam of some sort. Whether it is illegal or not is really of no consequence as you want to get paid for a job and not the other way around. It's bad enough that most agencies get a portion of your pay check. Apply online and look through the papers.

Yes; stay away.
