MGA contact person revealed she knew nothing about fee for job scam, and told me the employer pays all of recruiters fees. (This is to real you in)
MGA office is within an HQ Global Services facility. This means MGA rents a 1 person by the day in the HQ Global Space. They could pack up and move out the same day and you have no recourse.
MGA lays out all of the well polished promises on the 1st and 2nd interviews setting the stage. The promises speak of 200,000 dollar dream jobs with stable Fortune 500 companies. When you ask who are the companies, they answer "it's confidential". They proceed to insure that in this calibur of positions, it is very customary for all of the employers to offer a sign on bonus ranging from 20,000 to 100,000 dollars in some cases. You ask why? They respond by stating that it is because of their expertise in recruitment that such high sign on bonuses are attained. They then start to cover their bases, by getting your spouse involved. They want you to inform your spouse of everything you speak to MGA about. They even go to the extent to ask how MGA may reach him or her by phone.
By the end of the 2nd to the start of the 3rd interview, MGA will then lay a 5 page application in front of you outlining the basic fees, in my case $15,000 dollars worth, with an ala carte menu of additional fees to be selected by the applicant, for interview counseling, resume writing, follow-up counseling, job transition counseling, etc. Etc. When I started to shake my head at the outrageous fee, I was told that management may be able to lower it somewhat making this an outstanding value.
Remember they will not even divulge with whom they will get you an interview with because the companies really do not exist after all. It is all a fluff of smoke and mirrors. What is listed in the 5 page mga application is this, " mga careers or any of its employees/agents in no way guarantee, promise or imply that the candidate will ever attain employment of any kind through the services of mga. They do Guarantee one thing in writing however, and that is that your fee paid to MGA will never be returned to you under ANY circumstances.
Attn: All Attorneys File your complaints in a class action suit against MGA, there are dozens of victims too embarassed to step forward.
