With unemployment at the highest it's been for the last decade, there are thousands of people in the job market at the moment. Many of us will be using agencies to help find work, but what else could you be finding when you send your CV off to an agency?

The Investigation on today's Morning Extra has been uncovering the tricks of the trade used by rogue employment agencies to take advantage of people searching for work. They include advertising fake jobs, failing to check qualifications to work and hefty markups.

They may appear to be victimless scams but industry professionals have told us how they can shatter a job hunter's already fragile confidence.
