Is it ok to register with two different staffing agencies?
Is it ok to register with two different staffing agencies?
Today I met with two different staffing agencies. Both contacted me last week with full time positions they would like to put me up for. They also asked if I would be willing to work temp positions. I told them both that I would, after March. I filled out an online profile with both of them and said that they could both submit me for the positions.
Are there any penalties I would face if they both score me an interview and I am offered a position? I'm asking because my mom says that if they both get me a job, I may have to pay the recruiter a commission if I turn down one of the positions. She says that how it was in the 70s but even if it was, I don't think that's how it is now. Should I only work with one?
Re: Is it ok to register with two different staffing agencies?
The only advice I would add is to make sure that each are contacting you before submitting your resume for a position. Many companies use more than one head-hunting firm and you don't want your resume appearing on the hiring manager's desk more than once.
