I believe that as an employee of a company charged with setting up relationships to support the delivery of revenue you have a duty to fairly and openly select the offers that are in the best interest of your employers without considerations for yourself. If you accept considerations for your own interest - like payments or offers of subsequent employment and so on, then you are defrauding your employers. Since the payments mean that effectively there is a transfer of money from your employer to the contractor and then to you I believe that this is also a kind of theft. At the least, it's dishonest - unless your employer understood you were doing it - in which case it's a kind of hidden remuneration I guess.
