Is it worth to pay a Head Hunter to find a job?

12 years ago
I found a job agency called Martins e Bueno, which contacted me for an interview. I went to the interview well dresses, on time, and prepared for any possible job offer. The interview turned out into an offer of their services, including job placement, orientation, interview training, group dynamics, etc, all of that I remember seeing during my college years in the US. So they told me that in my position it would be very hard to find a job the way that I’m doing (sending my resume online, and using the internet most of the time, which I kind of believe) and that’s why they said I should hire them to help me finding a position in my field (logistics). I would have to pay R$3800 for 12 months contract, R$2800 for 8 months, or R$2300 for 6months. In any case I ‘d have to pay also 50% of my first month of salary. They do their best to find a position within that time but don’t guarantee it.
So my question is, is it worth to pay? Here in Belo Horizonte I noticed that it takes months to find a good position, maybe years, and still they don’t pay well.
thanks
