Consider that recruiters charge around 25% of 1 year of salary for helping to hire a developer, and the person-hour costs of hiring one person can easily exceed the recruiter cost for a small organization.
Firing also requires a fair amount of person-hours to do, and if you fire someone and need to replace them those costs stack.
- ivan_gammel 5y agoRecruiting costs vary from one country to another. For me 25% is ridiculously high. Even considering cost of doing business, a recruiter would need to close just 5-6 open positions per year to earn as much as an engineer. If they work full time to achieve that, this is extremely inefficient for those money. Besides that, some recruiters actually offer warranty period that will cover thus specific case - you should not pay twice.
