Placement Fee

Hi

Can I know on average how much the recruitment agency will charge the company for the placement fee ? Also, they will guarantee for how many months ?

Thanks

Hi Ask A Headhunter,

I have question which I hope you can help with.

So, my previous full time job I was drawing 3000 salary.

And then I joined my friend's business and we both draw a much smaller amount (just to cover the basics).

But now, we've decided to part ways amicably and I'm looking for a job.
I will still be receiving the usual monthly salaries until it covers the "lost income" which we have established to be 3000/month.

How do I explain this to a headhunter?
Can I still say that my current salary is 3000?
Or do I have to say the amounts based on the employer CPF contributions?

Thanks in advance!

Hi HH!

Is it industry standard to jump 20% from my last pay? or it is only when you have a change of industry then you get 20% jump?

My experience
- Media (3yrs)
- IT (7 months)
- Manufacturing (2yrs +)

Looking to go back into IT/ marketing agency, same role as my manufacturing (marketing)

Hows the job market as of now? COVID is freezing so many headcounts - from what I see

Hi headhunter, I went for my pre employment medical check up today, and they found my blood pressure to be rather high. Last year I did one and it was ok. I was rather nervous, lack of sleep due to the holidays and on some facial related long term medication which I declared may have contributed to the high reading today. He issue me a memo to go to any gp to have it check again any day. Just to check will I fail it and company reject me due to my high bp?

It shook me a little, I was rather an active guy and always look after myself... Dang

Imagine I took so much effort to hunt for a job and got rejected in e end due to hbp..

Hi Headhunter, what is the list of possible reasons for employers to retract the employment offer? Besides pregnancy and terminal illnesses e.g. Cancer?
