Abstract
In Pakistan after the independence year 1947, no
organization was working but in 1960’s the first
recruitment agency was introduced considering the key
issue in order to achieve better opportunity for both
employer and employees. In this competitive era every
employer wants a suitable person who has enough
knowledge and skills of any required job and every
potential employee or working staff wants an appropriate
job or opportunity which can lead to them proper job
satisfaction. There are some gapes as described in
justification. In this some questions are arising like.
What are the factors influencing the employee’s job
placement through recruitment agencies in Pakistan? The
answers to such questions are still being debated.
Sample size the researcher used is 227 employees working
in the organization. Data analysis technique was used
multiple linear regression , This study contains factors
influencing on employee’s job placement through
recruitment in Karachi , many firms was selected to know
the impact of this research survey, after collecting the
data it is observed that two of five independent
variables are failed to reject null hypothesis , this
result shows that people are not satisfied with the cost
they incurred for finding the jobs through recruitment
agencies as well as people believe that there is no such
appropriate job match through the agencies , where as in
survey remaining variables’ results are seen that people
are agree that recruitment agents are professionals ,
they reply quickly and they have proper employee
screening method . I recommend to the readers that we
have lack of understanding to cater people for their
jobs, if some people take good steps and open a true
recruitment agencies so many people will get good
opportunities and get their best job match, employers do
not need to find employees in dark and employers
specially fresh graduates and masters would not need to
be worry about their job.
