Employment agency, also called a placement office, is a service that finds jobs for workers and workers for jobs. It arranges interviews between candidates qualified for particular jobs and employers who have those jobs available. Private agencies charge a fee paid either by the candidate or by the employer. Most colleges and universities offer free placement service to their students. Also, many governments operate public employment offices. In the United States, these offices are financed by federal taxes and are administered by each state, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Labor.
