They find jobs for hundreds of people every day. tfjbsfhds(o)fppevd
Are you an employer?ayan(e)ply
And you tired of interviewing people? ayted(o)fitvipp
Try an employment agency. tan(e)plymagc
Employment agencies have been helping employers find good people for fifty years. epymt(a)gcs(h)vbhpn(e)pysfgppfffyrs
In this report, in(t)srp
we'll look at how employment agencies work. w(l)lk(a)heplymt(a)gcswk
I wondered how long it would take a company iwdhliwtkacpn
to fill a position without using an employment agency. tfl(a)pstwtusan(e)plymt(a)gcs
Stop, please. stpls
I have to write a new script. ihvtwt(a)nscp

They'll read your resume, t(l)rd(y)rsm
interview you, itvy
and sugget jobs for you too. asgsjbsfyt
Visiting an agency in Stamford, vstn(a)n(a)gcy(i)stf
we asked this question: wastsqst
How long will it take a company to find the right employee without using an employment agency?
hlwl(i)tk(a)cpntftrt(e)plywtusnn(e)plymt(a)gc
Man 1: If they are lucky, iftalc
between six and seven weeks.btsx(a)svwks
We can do it in twenty-four hours. wcdi ttfhrs
Connie : The agents spend lots of time looking at resumes. tags(s)pls(o)ftmlkarsms
Notice how they compare people who are looking for a job in a pharmacy. ntchtcpppwalkf(a)jb(a)n(a)pmc
Man 2: All right.ar
Now we'll look at Bob here. nw(l)lk(a)bbh

OK. Now, you know, we'll look at John. ok n yk w(l)lk(a)j
And we know that he al-he has a Ph. D. awkthahhs(a)phd
That's good.ttg
Now let's see if he's making the,nltsif(h)smkt
um, tablets too. u tbltt
Woman 1: John has experience with tablets,jhs(e)xprcwttbt
but Jim doesn't. bjmds(t)
Connie : The employment agents look to see which people have used computers. t(e)plymt(a)gtltswcpphvusdcpts
Man 2: Well, looking at it, w lkn(a)t(i)
Jim's also used computers. . . jms(a)suscpts
Bob has too.bbhst
I would say both John and Jim have a significant advantage over Bob,iwsbtjn(a)jmhv(a)snfct(a)vtgovbb
but they-they just have more experience. bttjshvmexprc
Connie : Many people have used either a computer or a word processor. mnpphvusdet(a)cpto(a)wprcs
