- Silhouette 4y ago30% for how long though? 10% seems low for a UK recruitment agency placing contractors in software dev or similar fields unless we're talking about relatively long engagements and the recruiter fees continue throughout.
- pc86 4y agoI've seen the following in action: 1. Recruiter sources a direct hire. At hire they're paid 30% of one year's salary, and if the hire is still there 30/60/90 days later, they keep the money. 2. 10% finders fee for fixed-price contract to a contractor (paid by the contractor, not the company) 3. Company employs someone, who is then billed out to another company as staff augmentation / contract. Markup varies widely but ranges from 2-200% and in my experience is inversely proportional to the quality of the person doing the work.
