Job placement is a service that connects employers and employees. Also known as a recruitment agency, executive search or staffing agency, job placement services have an important role in helping individuals find work. They can place individuals directly with an employer, help students find internships, support former military members in finding civilian work and offer educational services that help clients develop professional skills. For example, a recent graduate might go to a job placement agency to practice interviewing and learn how to write a resume so they can prepare for the job search process.
