Easy survey to complete, but I don't see how it's financially viable at the prices they mention ($4,000 or 10-25% of first year's paycheck.)
You should be able to create a solid marketing campaign around yourself for half that price.

I think that part was a little misleading. Fees that large are usually paid by the company who hires the candidate, not paid by the candidate who gets the job. The $100-$200 range is probably more along the lines of what a candidate would ever pay a service. I could be wrong on the price to a candidate (I have no idea at all, actually), but I'm familiar with the industry and in my experience, the 25% salary fee is paid by the company.
Charging 25k to the person who gets a job for 100k is unreasonable.
Charging 25k to a multi-billion dollar company making millions of dollars per year who hires 100k talent is more reasonable.

I hope like hell I don't ever have to use one of these agencies. Either that, or I hope that Mr_Burns is right regarding who pays the fee.

Done- In the notes, you think it was too much to ask that I get a $4 mil a year gig for only winning 12 games in 2 years?

I won a math debate
Perhaps I live in a different world, but the agencies I work with get paid to find me jobs by the companies that want my services. I have dealt with recruiters my whole life, granted, I took some time off and was unemployed for the last 6 months but that was more because I was trying to start a company with a couple guys, as soon as I got over that, one of my friends recruited me out of the country.
The real question is, for a person to pay for this service, they would need to establish a higher living, if a recruiting agency can take your average person, not want anything up front, but work out to be paid over time and get him a job he dreamed of or something that would be a huge step forward, no problem, but if it's something for mister unemployed that's going to find him a job that may set him back, then I don't honestly see how useful it could be.

It's time to bring it!
Done.
Echoing many of the previous statements, why would I want to be the one to pay recruiters? I have worked with a number of headhunters and would never consider paying for such a service based on my past experiences.
Is this geared more towards lower end jobs? Is this service trying to be more like "Ladders" type of service where you have to pay a monthly fee to get job listings but they also work to match you with those jobs? Regardless, I can only see this as a real need-based service that would only appeal to desperate job seekers. I guess with today's market that there are probably a fair number of desperate seekers at this point though.

Done. I just went through the job search process about 2-3 months ago and honestly would never pay for a service. I had a few headhunters helping me out, but i would never pay anyone to help me with a job search. I basically did all the work of contacting companies, keeping in touch, and setting everything up. In the end, i was the one who got more interviews and found the job i currently have...the headhunters really did not help that much.

I took the survey trying to imagine what my answers would be like if I were unemployed, but having never been out of work over the past 16 years, I'm sure that they would still have been different if I actually were sitting in the welfare check line for 8 months or more.
