> They're paid less than developers Are we sure about that? I thought one of the most common compensation structures is they got a commission of approximately 10% of the first year's salary for each hired candidate, payable after the candidate has completed 3 months at the new job. I hope the average recruiter places more than 10 developers per year. The smart ones develop relationships with frequent job-hoppers. It turns almost into an agent-talent relationship.
