Under no circumstances should you hand over your hard earned cash to any recruitment agent. As has already been said, they obtain their fee from the employers advertising the positions. I applied for a job through jobs in Dubai last year. I got an email saying that I fit the 'profile' of the job and to forward payment. Needless to say, I left it at that and I have this year managed to secure employment without having to pay anyone a penny!

Google can also be your friend when job hunting so please do not overlook it. I used google to find the recruitment agent that eventually found me a job!

Good luck with your job search.
