Most of the Congolese population of working age is not employed in the formal sector. These people are either unemployed or underemployed in rural areas or in the informal sector. And yet, we are witnessing an increasingly remarkable presence of placement agencies for job seekers to which they can refer in the city of Kinshasa. Despite all this, job seekers obtain work at the cost of a thousand and one penalties and are confronted with multiple realities, injustices, tribalism, discrimination and criteria that disadvantage them. This situation discourages and arouses mistrust among job seekers. It is within this framework that our research falls, which focused on 40 finalist students from the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences of the University of Kinshasa in order to know their perceptions vis-à-vis the placement and check whether these agencies are playing their roles effectively. The results revealed that our respondents have a positive view of the activities of these placement offices and are ready to go there to facilitate their recruitment; but believe that these agencies are not playing their roles effectively. In view of these results, our first hypothesis is confirmed and the second is partially invalidated.
