Considering the way recruiters are paid, I can understand that no matter how good this guy is, he is worthless to the recruiter to recommend him Recruiters are paid based on salary of the guy and the fact he stays there for a certain period of time.

Business is business, but I only wish they wouldn't compare programmers like this with regular job-hoppers. How much does respect cost?

  Most recruiters don't know what a programmer is to begin with.

  From their standpoint, they're the same deal. Job Hoppers are people who do not stay at jobs long, without qualification. You can be GOOD, and a hopper, but the good doesn't matter.

Does anyone have concrete data points on how and what recruiters are paid? The data point I heard for the finance industry was 25% of base + guaranteed bonus (but not signing bonus or discretionary bonus). I have no idea how the rules change if the employee flakes and quits within X months.

  I know at least one place that doesn't pay anything until an employee has stayed 3 months.

  It isn't standard, however it is common there is a probationary period during which any employee loss means no fee is paid.
