It doesn't help to attack people like me who might be answering your question. Also, most of the time when I really need an accurate answer (as opposed to an average NYC resident's opinion) on something, I would choose to Google the question and find a site that has the actual law on it. Third, I understand English is not your first language, but your posts are difficult to understand. You can use Google translate or online dictionary if you can't think of the right word.
The New York State law regulating employment agencies applies to any person who, for a fee, renders vocational guidance or counseling service and who, directly or indirectly, procures or attempts to procure employment; or represents that he/she has access to, or the capacity to gain access to, jobs not otherwise available to job seekers not purchasing the service.
Different laws pertain to those agencies which charge a fee to the job applicant, and possibly also the employer, than to agencies which make ONLY employer fee paid placements. These distinction concern requirements for licensing, fees that may be charged, and other provisions of the law as described in this report.
Licensing
Class B agencies which charge a fee to the applicant must be licensed by the NYS Department of Labor (in New York City, by the Commissioner of the NYC Department of Consumer Affairs). As a condition of obtaining a license to do business in New York, employment agencies must deposit a bond in the amount of $5,000 with two or more sureties or with a surety company approved by the Commissioner. Consumers who are damaged by practices of licensed employment agencies in violation of the law may bring action against this bond. The Commissioner also may institute a suit against the bond on behalf of the damaged consumer. An employment agency must post a copy of its license in a conspicuous place in the agency.
Agencies which charge a fee only to the employer need do not need to be licensed.
Contracts and Receipts
Licensed employment agencies must provide the applicant with:
A copy of the contract which includes statements of the law regarding conditions under which the employment agency is entitled to a fee, and the circumstances under which any fees collected must be rendered.
A receipt stating the amount and purpose of any fee, deposit or payment that the agency collects.
Information as to the name and address of the person to whom an applicant is to apply for employment, the anticipated rate of wages, the agency's fee, whether such employment is temporary or permanent, the name and address of the person authorizing the hiring of an applicant, and the cost of transportation if the services are required outside the city where the agency is located.
Fees
Licensed employment agencies cannot accept a fee in advance from an applicant and cannot charge or accept a fee for the registration of applicants for employment.
Generally, after an applicant has been placed in a position, the licensed employment agency is entitled to no more than the following percentages of the first full month's salary or wages:
First Month Salary Percentage
less than $750 25%
from $750 to $949 35%
from $959 to $1,149 40%
from $1,150 to $1,349 45%
from $1,350 to $1,499 50%
from $1,500 to $1,649 55%
$1,650 or more 60%
A fee up to 1 1/2 times the fee charged to the job applicant may also be charged to the employer. By agreement with an employment agency, the employer may voluntarily assume payment of the applicant's fee.
If the employment states that the job is temporary (less than four months) the employment agency's fees cannot be more than 50% of that given above, or 10% of the total wages whichever is less.
The fee may be paid in installments, based on the consumer's pay schedule.
If the applicant is hired on a commission basis, the fee for the employment agency will be based on the employer's estimate of yearly wages.
Some staffing agencies do charge the candidates.
I have once worked at warehouse and we were looking for warehouse hands and truck drivers. These small time staffing agency we have dealt with, charged the candidates and not the employer.

Hotblue calm down man people have given you enough information to solve your problem, but for some reason you either don't understand the information or you won't accept the information. Temp agencies do not charge any fees to help you find work. The way they make their money is by charging the employer a fee for finding them a worker.
