The Miracle of the Postmodern Temporary Help and Staffing Agency George Gonos i Historica I and lega I research challenges the sta ffng industry's claim that it charges "no fees" to workers, and provides scholarly support for the spreading "right- to-know" movement among temps and contract workers for the disclosure of hidden, and often exorbitant, agency markups. Temporaryworkers are never charged afee $any kind. -National Association of Temporary Services ONJTBuy Jobsn-that was the slogan of the old ' Industrial Workers of the World as they campaigned in Spokanein 1909against the excessive fees charged by the seedy employment agencies that lined the streets hiring workers for the abundant jobs in lumbering, railroads, construc- tion, and farmwork. In the churning turn-of-the-century economy in which millions of workers found themselves con- stantly on the move in search of their next job, the exorbitant GEORGE GONOS is assistant proJssor ofeconomics and employment relations at the State Uni- versity $New York at Potsdam, and active in adwcncy qpbrtsfir temps and other contingent work- ers. He is writing a book on the rise ofthe tempormy help industry and the new wave offir-p@t labor market intermediaries in the United States. WorkingUSAvol. 4, no. 3, Winter 2000-2001,pp. 9-33. 0 2001 M.E. Sharpe. Inc. All rights r d . ISSN I~XWOII 12001 $9.51 t o.m WorkingUSA-Winter 2000-200 1 9 fees of the "labor sharksn-as they were often called-became a national scandal. "The necessity of paying for the privilege of going to work," the U.S. Commission on Industrial Relations stated in 1912, "seems foreign to the spirit of American freedom and opportunity."' State governments responded by passing 1 extensive regulations, including ceilings on'fees, that lasted well into the post-World War I1 era. In more recent times, the need to "buy a job" has typically been considered a thing of the past. But with the rapid growth of the temporary help and staffingbusiness over the last twenty years, the practice of paying fees for job placement has made a big comeback. Among "temps" and "contract workers," anger over fees-"anti-agent venom," one story calls it-has been growing, andworkers' groupsin somestatesarebacking "right- to-know" legislation that would require today's new brands of labor agents-temp and staffingagencies, payrolling firms, and professional employer organizations(PE0s)-to reveal towork- ers the hidden fees in their employment contracts. Abill requir- ing rate disclosure recently introduced in Washington State received strongbipartisansupportand led to the greatestpublic airing of the issue to date.Though it failed (lastJanuary)against stiff industry opposition, it "showed how powerful the idea of J right-to-know is," according to Marcus Courtney of the Wash- ington Alliance of Technology Workers (WashTech), which drafted the bill. The fight againstexcessive feesfor employment is once again growingintoa nationalmovement that will not go away soon. Fees, now barraging consumers in seemingly every transac- tion, are in the news in other areas as well, in banking, ticket sales, college tuition, investments, phone bills, check cashing, and travel. (A legal battle is now taking place over local ordi- nances prohibiting banks from surcharging noncustomers at ATMs.) But.thesubject of fees chargedby employmentagencies "Never a Fee!" has scarcely received mention and remains a much overlooked aspect of the contemporary employment scene in the United States. One reason for this is the general acceptant-in official circles, at least--of the staffing industry's claimthat "temp work- ers" pay no fees, that this is a burden borne entirely by employ- ers, their business clients. Temporary help and staffing finns market themselves as a free "service" to workers, as clean, high- tech, no-strings-attached, postmodern employing institutions, a way of working just right for the stilluncommitted young or the b overcommitted parent in need of a flexible schedule. Through the early 1990s, a job seeker looking through the clas- P sified ads placed by temp and staffing agencies would have been assuaged by the following kinds of inducements: "No fees" ..."Notan agency-Never a fee"..."Nevera fee to the job seeker" ... "All Fees Company Paid"..."A fee-paid service" From its birth in the late 1940s, the staffing industry used these' claims to build what became by the 1970s and 1980s the fastest- growingindustry in the country. Nowadays, although ads placed by temp agencies dominatethe "help wanted sections of many major newspapers, industry representatives say the idea that they charge no fees to workers has become so widely accepted that these printed claims have become largely unnecessary. Still,the "no fees" claim is continually reiterated in broadcast ads, indus- try literature, and orientation videos used with job applicants in agency offices. If the existence of fees is acknowledged at all, they are said to be "client-paid," covered in their entirety by the industry's business clients, the firms that employ tem- porary help. But temp and contract workers are prone to a different view, seeing the spread betwe& the hourly rate charged to their em- ployer and their own

  • Executive Recruitment Triads from an Agency Theory Perspective
    Administrative Issues Journal: Connecting Education, Practice, and Research, Summer 2019 Vol. 9, No. 1: 01-18. DOI: 10.5929/9.1.6 Executive recruitment triads from an agency theory perspective Carlos Baldo, Ph.D. Colorado Mesa University Ramón Valle-Cabrera, Ph.D. Universidad Pablo de Olavide Miguel Olivas-Lujan, Ph.D. Clarion University of Pennsylvania Abstract The relationships between clients, headhunters, and candidates during the executive search process has not been researched using agency theory as the theoretical framework. This is puzzling, as the existence of common objectives and information asymmetries between these three parties make agency theory an ideal one to explain the interactions between them. We addressed this gap by developing six testable propositions for researchers. Practitioners may also benefit from the study as understanding the human assumptions in the process of executive recruitment may help increase the chances of achieving positive outcomes. Keywords: Executive Recruitment, Agency Theory, Headhunters, Triad, Information Asymmetries Introduction n recent years, talent has become a strategic priority for organizations (Guthridge, Komm, & Lawson, 2008). The “war of talent” (Faulconbridge, Beaverstock, Hall, & Hewitson, 2009) is at the top of the I business agenda as organizations look to attract the most talented executives to lead their businesses. The complexity of this process among the core activities for strategic HR has led to the outsourcing of talent recruitment and selection1 (Greer, Youngblood, & Gray, 1999). For high-level executives and many other highly skilled employees, the responsibility is shared with third parties that provide recruitment, selection, and onboard services. Within the professionals’ or practitioners’ field, these firms are also known as Executive Recruitment Firms or Headhunters.

  • Mentoring Program Protege Handbook
    Mentoring Program Protégé Handbook Center for Professional Excellence Mentoring Program Mission Statement The mission of the Center for Professional Excellence Mentoring Program is development of students through self-formation and early professional preparation, the hallmark of The Elmhurst Experience. Introduction Simply stated, mentoring is a helping relationship in which a more experienced person (the Mentor) assumes limited responsibility for assisting a less experienced person (the Protégé) in order to enhance the probability that the less experienced person will develop and grow professionally and personally. This relationship can focus on a particular career or profession as the Protégé is ready to consider these specifics. It always addresses the Protégé’s personal development to shed light on the question, “What sort of professional would I like to become?” In order to assist the Protégé in navigating the mentoring process, workshops have been developed. The design of the Protégé Workshop is to give Protégés an understanding of their role and responsibilities as a Protégé; become familiar with the Mentoring Program Policies and Procedures; understand and appreciate the importance of establishing the mentoring relationship; and discover how to become an active participant in their personal and professional development. Table of Contents I. Introduction II. Design and Goals of the Program III. The Protégé’s Role IV. Establishing the Mentoring Relationship V. Developing the Mentoring Relationship VI.
