What are the distinctions from Employment Agency, Staffing Agency, Headhunters? And how to find them?

Can anyone explain the distinctions from employment agency, staffing agency, and headhunters? Do they offer the same services? If I go for the services, will they charge me? How to look for the agencies? (From yellow pages or ...?) Please recommend some good agencies especially in San Francisco Bay Area. Thank you.

What are the distinctions from Employment Agency, Staffing Agency, Headhunters? And how to find them?
Head hunters is a disrespectful name given to the industry by people outside of the industry. You will never find them by searching under that name.





There are many that use similar naming, but are very different. There are also some that do more than one kind of service.





The key is in the contract you sign with them.


* When they land you a job, does the employer pay their fees, or will you be paying a percentage of your salary for how many months, to the agency?


* When they land you a job, will it be a permanent position, or will it be temporary that could end at any time, with no notice?





If you recently had a job %26amp; am now unemployed, be sure to visit the Unemployment Compensation office PDQ because if you wait until you need the money, you could be at a serious disadvantage.





If you have no experience (you just graduated), there are a lot of jobs you cannot get into. However, your combination of experience and education can open doors for you not open to other people. I suggest you visit some book store %26amp; pick up books that give examples of writing resumes, methods of delivery ... for example, you could have a very nice resume, but if it goes as an e-mail attachment, you could lose a lot of the formating bang impact, unless you put it in a PDF, so you have to know how to do that. You can get software to help package a nice resume, but you need to review how to make a nice resume in the first place. In addition to resume, there is also thw whole package of interviewing and writing thankyou notes after you get interviews.





In the Yellow Pages, on-line or off-line, you can search for


* Employment Agency


* Jobs


* Help Wanted


etc.





You can also locate %26amp; visit stores that sell newspapers from around the world %26amp; the USA ... at such stores there will be special publications that the only thing in there are job openings, reprinted from the classified of newspapers around the USA, and sorted to show job openings by category (e.g. Accounting) and region (e.g. California Bay area) ... after buying several of these, that are in competition with each other, you can subscribe for a few weeks, but warning, these publications usually repeat the ads a week or so after they showed up in the original publications.





By studying the ads, you ought to be able to figure out which are with the actual companies looking for workers, and which are from some kind of agency.
