>I guess what you're finding is that many jobs are "farmed out" to agencies to find the workers for them, and many job adverts are therefor put up by the agencies. Employers DO like to get workers directly, so avoiding paying the fees to agencies. That is why it can be worth approaching a company directly yourself, even if they're not obviously recruiting (that way they save the advertising costs too!)
In the Netherlands a lot of the BIG companies prefer a simple administration and therefore hire only via two or three agencies they know well. It is quite difficult to work for such big companies directly. What we then do is take care that the fee of the agency is minimal only, let's say 12 percent.
I think Sergey Chavlytko is refering also to another problem. The contract may contain a paragraph that says that it is forbidden to the contractee (good word?) to bypass the agency if he and the big company want him to work directly. Only to a certain degree such a paragraph may be justified. It all depends upon your status. Personally, I always let my lawyer read the concept of the contract. And I negociate a lot.
