Anyone heard of this Head Hunter Gerbey Dorsey International


Recommended Posts

Hi guys.. I wonder anyone here heard about this Head Hunter before or have any dealing with them before?

This Head Hunter requires the candidate to pay some sort of non refundable fee before putting the candidate into any interview ..

I am not sure whether this is a genuine head hunter as my experience in dealing with head hunter never requires me to pay any fee.

Thanks guys..

About as straight as a waiters s corkscrew. Ignore them or even better lead them on in a useless correspondence campaign.

Viewing their web page the syntax would seem to indicate a lack of professionalism along with a wonderful dream weaving technique worthy of a Nigerian letter writer.cheesy.gif

Having been in that industry at one time there are basically two types......the head hunters for corporations- executives.....and the employment agencies..........neither would require you to pay a fee in advance....most fees are the obligation of the employer for their service........even temp agencies do not charge you a fee....I would NOT use their service as you have no idea if they are even meeting the requirements of the employer by sending you to an interview. If they are doing their job they would interview you first for your qualifications,check references,then submit your information to the prospective employer. If the employer wants to see you then they would inform you and set up the interview. Additionally , a professional service will always prep you with information about the employer and even who the person interviewing you will be........but this is Thailand so who knows.

Scam, no reputable agency or recruiter will look for money up front for admin fees or visa fees

If you are in one country and they are in another, they may however ask you to front your visa fee and claimed back, but this money is paid to the consulate or embassy concerned not to the agent

One idea, tell the head hunter you are cautious and want some evidence of their past success, including two names of expats they have placed and their e-mail / tel. no, and the names of the companies who employed them. If the head hunter refuses then drop them fast.

If they do give you names then call and insist on meeting the person at the employers premises.

Ask a lot of questions, If it's a set-up you can probably spot if fairly quickly.

Ask for the names of the employing companies and that's all. If they do give you some information including a company name, tel. no., and a contact persons name, then ignore it, just go to the company website and get a tel. no, etc.

Tiresome but maybe worthwhile case by case.

Like others I have used head hunters many times to find new specialist employees, but never heard of the prospective employee having to pay a fee to the head hunter.
