Compass marine/global marine?

does anyone have reviews or insight with compass marine/global marine? I came upon them while searching for jobs and they got back with me with an application but I’m basically signing my rights away. whats the take with this companies that supposedly find a job for you, are they to be trusted or stay far away from them? any advice or insight greatly appreciated.

I’ve talked to both of them, and believe they are in cahoots somehow. Same ownership maybe? Anyway, like seaport, when you call them they are gonna blow smoke up your ass and then you most likely won’t hear from them for 6-12 months when you already are working somewhere else. I know a couple guys that got jobs through seaport a few years ago and they weren’t exactly top tier companies. If you are hard up you have to do what you gotta do, but if you can avoid it…

I used global when I upgraded to my 1600/3000. Pricey but worth it. Not an easy market to find a job in right now. They were very straight forward with me and did exactly what I paid them to do. Found me a job working the license I have.

They advertise % of your pay from you but don’t most head hunters get paid by the company they are recruiting for? I negotiated half of their original asking number but never followed through…
