Does Any Job Consultancy Have Right To Take The Salary From Candidate?

Does any job consultancy have the right to take the salary from a candidate? Or does any company have the right to deduct job consultancy fees (if the company has tie-ups with job consultancy) directly from the employee's salary?

Right Question....

There are two types of consultancies: one is Management consultancy where they will never charge any amount for candidates. However, the consultancies referred to you will raise the bill, and the company will pay the charges.

There are also a few private consultancies where the consultancy persons receive the first month's salary or fifteen days' salary from the candidate. If the candidate does not pay the consultancy, many private limited companies will ask you to clear the payments but will not deduct from the salary directly.

Very good topic Nil,

Since it's a service exchange in contractual terms, deciding the contribution is left to the parties agreeing for the same. Most of the private consultancies who do not have much backup companies with them do this, and in fact, many collect the fixed salary amount even before the candidate joins and gets his salary. As I have observed, many of the candidates placed by them will be chosen as probationers or trainers, and a few are from an entry-level background, and their employment is not guaranteed. There are genuine consultancies as well, but I suggest the candidates believe in and rely upon those consultancies which have company backups or agreements with the companies for placements. Most of such consultancies hardly collect any fees from candidates as they will be getting their pay from the companies that hired them for sourcing candidates.
