Many times, these middlemen or agencies doesn't allow to create a direct connection or/and direct relationship between an employer and a job seeker so that they can exploit both of them in future to earn more bucks. The reason is not only these middlemen or agencies but also lack of creation of right channels and education or awareness when it comes to using available channels.
