As a subcontractor I've worked for various pimps (headhunters, agencies, job shops, contract houses, etc) all of which make obscene amounts of money for doing essentially nothing. I don't make referrals because they generally offer insultingly small amounts of "bonus" money even though a (hired) candidate will generate a revenue stream in the 6 or 7 figures. My last contract even had a desperate sounding clause in it saying that I was effectively obligated to refer anybody who I even thought might be available. Yah, right...
