What's the going rate on recruiters these days though? 20% of first year salary? I'd rather use it for a 20% pay bump to get a particularly good candidate. Hell

What's the going rate on recruiters these days though? 20% of first year salary? I'd rather use it for a 20% pay bump to get a particularly good candidate. Hell, real estate agents sell a HOUSE and only get 3%.
Recruiters make a series of phone calls and they're supposed to get 20-40k, while I go to work? It's a great business though, I would know, I've worked for/at/with a couple midsized recruiting firms, they make a lot of money.
- vadym909 10y agoCompanies won't give you the 20% pay bump if you approached them yourself. Its a good deal for the company because they outsource the risk of hiring a recruiter fulltime and not finding a candidate. Some recruiting agencies make a lot of money but many go under. Companies pay a recruiting agency only if the agency found them the candidate. With lots of agencies competing, the fee is not certain. The good sourcers/recruiters definitely find it more profitable to work on their own.
